Waiting for the Phone to Ring ..... Again
Kathy got back from her interview in Rochester last night. They seemed to like how she could fit into the team and the new extra skills she would be bringing to the job. They told her she is on the short list for the job, although if you take everything they told it sounds like a short list of one.
Oh, and they gave her nice parting gifts. Nice ones.. a ceramic coffee mug with the company logo on it, A really nice laser etched acrylic slab-like desk award thingees .... you know what I mean, they take a slab of pure clear acrylic and laser etch an achievement of some sort into the back of it show it shows thru the front. It's about 3 inches high and 4 inches wide and celebrates one of the company's big mile-stones. Oh and an item from the company's product line. To me this says they ARE going to hire her. Why would a company give you a permanent item with their name on it for her to look at every morning if they were NOT going to hire her. To rub it in each morning with her coffee that they didn't want her? I don't think so.
Anyway, she is supposed to hear by the middle of next week, but Kathy thinks she will hear sooner. Oh and because she didn't get to meet with HR while she was there due to scheduling conflicts and her flight home being so early in the day, they will be calling her probably today or tomorrow.
Please feel free to comment.... have any of you ever heard of parting gifts at a job interview?
In other news.... The Pi Shawl is off the needles! Will be working on getting it onto the stretcher frame today and will get pics then
