Post Grad

Well I guess I should update you with my progress in my job search. Last I wrote I think I had told you about my actual interview with TRAM. It went well and I felt confident about it. I learned more about the position and the company and it made me even more interested in the position. At the end of the interview I was told that I would be contacted either way in 1 to 2 weeks.

2 weeks go by and I hear nothing. I figured I'd give it the WHOLE two weeks before I attempt to contact them myself. So yesterday I was getting ready to sit down and make the dreaded phone call. I figured since I hadn't been contacted early, I probably didn't make the cut and was probably in for some bad news upon getting a hold of the recruiter.

So I was laying in bed at 8:45 trying to figure out what I was going to say when I called. Then my phone started buzzing and I looked at it. It was TRAM. I let it go to voice-mail because I was sure that I probably would have sounded like I had just woken up if I would have answered it and I didn't want to sound like an idiot. I waited for the voice-mail to come through. I was so nervous to listen to it, but I figured what the heck I need to get it over with.

The voice-mail said that they were interested in me coming in for a second interview. !! I was excited. I know it's not a job offer, but it felt very good to be called back. I called the recruiter and we set up an interview on Monday the 14th at 3pm. He told me that the interview wouldn't be as formal as the first one and most of it will entail doing an assessment on the computer. I don't know if this mean good things or if it's just another part of the process and all the other people that they have been interviewing are doing it as well... I don't know.

So now I am nervous and trying to prepare myself for the interview. I have no idea what they will be asking me and I have no clue if this will be a technical interview or not. I am just really hoping that at the end of this they will see that I am qualified and very willing to learn anything that I need to know to do well in the position. I really want this job. It sounds interesting and I think that I could learn a LOT from this job.

Keep your fingers crossed for me! :)
