Interview

I don’t want to get my hopes up too high… BUT I think I have a really good chance of getting the recruiter position!  All I can do know is say my prayers, and have faith that everything is going to be alright no matter what happens.  I went over to the other office today and interviewed for the recruiter spot.  The girl that is the current recruiter is in need of somebody to assist her with what she currently does.  She is aware that I don’t have any experience with recruiting, BUT she didn’t seem to think that it would be a problem.

I explained to her that I am quick to learn new jobs… that when I started my current position, I didn’t know much of anything at all about the position other than a little about cell phones.  LOL  And look at me now!!!  I help to manage a mobile phone account with 9000 accounts/services on it.  She seemed like I would probably have a really good chance of getting the job, but said something about she was meeting two other people from my team.  Well… Carina didn’t submit her resume for the position, so I knew that I wasn’t up against her.  All in all, I was pleased with how the interview went.  She said that I will have a follow up interview with Bob, the VP of our company, next week.  YES!!  Bob is the best, and I get along great with him!  He ALWAYS comes by my cubicle to say hi when he is over here.  I am totally keeping my fingers crossed on this one!

So after the interview, we came back over to our office here at Cisco.  Carina acted like she could care less about the recruiter position, so that made me happy.  When we got back upstairs, I stopped at the restroom, and happened to run into assistant to my old boss.  She helps with the hiring for STS as well, and works with Mandy pretty closely.  So I told Tamara to put in a good word for me with Mandy.  LOL  I was also able to find out from her who else from my team interviewed for the recruiter spot.  *evil grin*

Come to find out that my competition for the recruiter spot is Aderval and Hannibal.  LOL  YES!!!  I really think I have a good shot of getting this job!  I can almost guarantee that Hannibal will not work over at the other office.  There is bad blood over there between him and somebody else that I know for a fact would not go over.  I don’t think that he would even want to be a part of that.  Not to mention that he has been studying for his CCNA.  I think he is probably looking for more of a networking/technical position.  And the same with Aderval.  I just don’t see him as being a recruiter.  Soooo… that leaves ME!!!!

But again… I’m going to try so hard to not hold my breath and get my hopes up too high.  If I don’t get the job, I have to have faith that something will come up, and that I will find something else.

With that said… everyone keep your fingers, toes, and eyes crossed for me!!!
