Perhaps a new start awaits…

I am on pins and needles. PINS AND NEEDLES I TELL YOU! I don’t think I can emphasize enough that I feel anxious and crazy.  I have been hating this job over at Elove and just waiting to be fired since I pretty much started, and now I feel like I might have an out.  Amy is a girl that works with me, and her friend Nikki, who got fired for numbers back pretty much when I started here went over to work for this place call FMS, financial systems…They are bill collectors for student loans. i guess they are hiring like CRAZY over there, and Nikki told Amy to apply, and Amy told me about it. So I went in there on Thursday, and I had to take a few tests. One was a basic arithmetic test, and the others were based on typing speed and accuracy, and reading and english comprehension.  After I finished with the tests I was a bit worried that I didn’t pass them or something (even though I felt like I did good) and then the receptionist said they would get back to me in two weeks or so. Then as I was walking out the door, a woman stopped me and said "Danielle? We will interview you now, do you have time?" I agreed of course, so I went in and started talking with her. I felt like it was going really well, and then she stepped out for few minutes and then came back in with another man, and they then sat down and interviewed me together.  They were very friendly and fun, and I felt like I was able to answer everything they needed confidentley etc. So then I asked a little bit about the money they get paid and they said its 10 and hour for the first thirty days and the moves up to 15.36 an hour on the 31st day. I about shit myself in the interview. The drool didn’t run out of my mouth like it wanted to, but either way…When I was leaving the office, I asked they they thought they might start making some decisions, since the class for training starts on the 18th, and the woman looked at the man and said, probably next week..and he said if not tomorrow. Well, tomorrow was friday, as the interview was thursday, and I didn’t get a call. But I also know they were still running interviews yesterday because I walked by and saw them doing some through the glass window.  Then after I left the interview, I went to take my son to therapy, and got a call from Amy while I was there and she said she had some good news. She said that nikki had called her ( the girl that works over there already) and they had asked nikki for a reference on me and nikki gave me a good one, and they told her they liked me and that they were going to give me a shot. Then Nikki messaged me on facebook and said that same thing, she said congratulations because they told me they are going to hire you, I’m pretty sure!

Well, I hope that means that they will, since most likely I would assume (nikki is a supervisor) they wouldn’t tell her that they would hire me and then not. They do go through background checks but with that being said they only asked on the application about felonies, within the last 7 to 10 years. And of course i don’t have any of those. I am very excited to think that this could happen for me..I am just a bit discouraged now that they didn’t call me yesterday like they had said they possibly would.  But I do know they were still hiring so maybe they are just trying to get a group of all hired together before they start making the calls.

Does it look like I got this job? or does it look like they decided to pass on me after all?? I guess I should at least give it until Monday, and then perhaps shoot them a call. I REALLY want this job.
