Had an Informal Job Interview Today

[ImThatGirl]

Wow~ I didn't expect to interview today. The company I work for had a meet and greet with the Training department today. A co-worker talked me into going.

 

Right now I work in a "processing area" of an insurance company. Day in day out at a cubicle processing paperwork. Not too exciting.

 

This past summer I completed an associates degree in Business Management. I planned to start looking for a new position around this time and no later than early 2007.

 

I would love to be in the training department. I should hear something from them by next week (hopefully by today or tomorrow!)

 

I think I'm a good candidate for this position. I'm hoping for it but also know that I will be at an advantage if I stay where I'm at. (We have detailed training coming up here - a chance for overall knowledge which would increase my chances at moving up here.)

 

Please cross fingers for me. This is so exciting! I haven't interviewed for a new position / department in aaahhh 6 years. When I started working here!

Crossing fingers will not do you any good.

My fingers are crossed and I think it will do a world of good!

[DizzyDoris]

Go girl! Mine are crossed too, good luck

[ImThatGirl]

Crossing fingers will not do you any good.

 

 

Hhhmmm - I guess I was just asking for a "Good luck" from everyone then.

 

Sheesh!

 

Thank you everyone!

[amtjrtcet]

What bit you on the butt?

 

Crossing fingers will not do you any good.

 

 

 

Good luck girl!! Got mine crossed too!

Sheesh!

 

Thank you everyone!

 

I would say he would not be a good candidate for any job that requires positive reinforcement.

 

Good luck (but you won't need it ;-)

[southerngirl]

Good Luck girl!!!

 

Crossing fingers and toes for ya!

[flower99]

[jilligirl]

Be realistic, and never give up!

Update

 

Today I received the response stating that they feel I am a good candidate for this position and that I should continue the application process by applying for the position online. I then received an email requesting that I shadow one of the training classes.

 

My boss is not here and I have to talk to him before I proceed. He'll be here tomorrow.

 

I heard through the grapevine that I am being considered for the "Control and Oversight Team." Basically a team that is trained on all aspects of the administration of our policies. A good move but no increase in pay.

 

I really think I need to get out of a cubicle and that I'd thoroughly enjoy the training position and would be more of an asset to the company if I were in that position.

 

Can't wait til tomorrow to see if I get the approval!

[ImThatGirl]

Yes! My boss happened to come in after his training for the day!

 

I have his approval! Now moving forward. We'll see if I actually get the position now that I can officially apply for it!

[jilligirl]

cool, and congrats!

[Ellie2006]

That's great. Good luck ITG!

Talked with one of the trainers today and she gave me a heads up that the people that received the job shadow invite are the ones they are definitely interested in.

 

I received my invite to the formal interview. It will consist of a thirty minute question and answer and then I will present a mock training session (lasting 10 minutes) on any "Company" topic in front of 5 other people.

 

I have 6 days to prepare. I'll have my training topic and material completed by Saturday afternoon and then have the next few days to mentally prepare.

 

I'm excited!

Thank you all for your crossed fingers and prayers, etc!
