I got a J-O-B!
« on: May 13, 2004, 08:54:57 AM »
I went to my first interview yesterday and they offered me the job!  Yay!  I was looking for something part-time and relatively low-stress and this job is perfect!  It's the administrative assistant position at a local non-profit group and it's just what I needed.  Whew.  Now, onto the NIN process!  (Will the paperwork ever end?!?!)   ;D

well, for the last decade, I was a cms analyst for NASA...doubt anything like that around here...  but I also have experience as a corporate administrator (office managing)...   banking too(blah)...  so I guess office type of work... admin assistance...  Like you, I wish to work part time if possible...no stress (had enough years of that) yet rewarding or helpful to others.   LOL

Great news Lola! Is the office easy to get to? Have you managed to get to any of the places I told you about? The DF and I were just saying how much we miss 'the toon'. He may be up there in late June at the Uni but I'm not sure we can afford for me to be up there as well with B&B costs, etc. *sigh*

Congratulations!!! The NIN is fairly harmless, they just ask you 12,000 questions! Good luck with it all, and again congratulations on such a quick job search. :)

Woohoo!  Congrats Lola!  You are giving me hope!  I will begin looking (I have on-line) in three weeks!  I want something like you, no stress!  Had that in NY, don't need it anymore! 

Have people converted their resumes to CV's?  I did mine, but not sure if it's OK?

Thanks for the congrats everybody...this is turning out to be great week!

Stacey, I spent soooo long getting my CV ready and NOT ONE place I've applied to has taken CVs.  I asked the hubby and he said that there seems to be trend among most employers to rely on the application and/or interview only.  He said that ultra-professional and artsy/media type jobs still tend to ask for CVs, though.  So, don't stress too much about it if you're looking for something that's middle-of-the-road...I'm sure what you've done is just fine!   :)

Thanks!  I know I spent a while doing it too!  My SIL and friend in HR both sent me theirs to use as a guide.  I did it somewhere inbetween.
