Because carving is so 2008...

Temperatures

It is 34 degrees right now but it is going to be in the 70s this afternoon... there is something wrong with that!! Where did my nice fall weather go??

Interviews Part II

Well my first two interviews are over with and I couldn't be more happy to be done with them. I have had interviews in the past but these were the first interviews I have had for full-time employment. The first one went okay, wasn't too stressful, just tried to answer the interviewers questions as confidently as I could. Haven't heard anything back, but then again they were only hiring 6 people so the competition was pretty steep. The second interview... well I don't think there is enough space to talk about how bad it went. I was told I was qualified for the position but when I got into the interview room I was told they were only looking for technical people (Well Hello, I am a Finance major not an Information Systems Major!) So as soon as I heard that I knew it was going to be a tough interview. So all of the questions that were presented after were about IT, I don't know things about IT, again I am a Finance major! So yeah when asked if I knew how to work Java, code things, etc etc I was 100% positive I was not getting a second interview and was sure I didn't want one either. If I have no idea what is going on in the interview, then clearly it is not meant to be. Kind of frustrating that I was told I was qualified and then lead to believe it was a non-technical position and then be asked all technical questions. So got the big denied email today, "We would love to have you here but........" I knew it was coming, I knew the job wasn't right but it still kinda sucks, you are good and all but everyone else was better... Keeping my head held high though and hoping for better opportunities to come my way!

Interviews

So as I have mentioned the job hunt is on and moving in full force. I have applied for a lot of jobs (10ish) as of now, rejected from a couple, accepted on some, applications still pending on others. But the good news is, I have two interviews set for this week! I am very excited but nervous at the same time. Hopefully all goes well!

Weekend

Had a blast this weekend with my parents, Chad, Michelle, Ava and Linc. Mich stopped by Raleigh and picked me up and then we headed to Jacksonville together. The kids were super cute as always and it was just comforting being at home again. While visiting we got in trips to the Aquarium, the beach, and a pumpkin patch. (Check out pictures on Michelle's blog). At the Aquarium we all took pictures in a giant crab, well not Michelle because she was too cool ;-) Here is mine!!



The weekend was over way too quick and I felt like I was instantly back in the real world. Luckily this week I only have classes today and tomorrow and then I am off to DC for Fall Break.. well not before a midterm, a presentation, a Meet the Employer and a Career Fair eekkk. Short weeks somehow are always the worst. The job hunt just seems to be going, I know it is still early, just the whole process is stressfulllll. Most of the places I have applied for still are open, meaning the deadline to apply hasn't passed, so I probably won't hear anything till around then. Just keeping my fingers crossed that something comes my way!

While I was home I also got a haircut! Cut off 3 inches! Feels so much healthier and I really like the new look. Hope everyone is enjoying the Fall weather!
