Woo hoo!
So I got a call last week from Jackson National Life wanting to interview me. I'm pretty excited about this as I have heard alot of really good things about the company. I'm also excited because generally it just makes me feel good to think that someone is possibly interested in hiring me. And they have free on-site daycare. How fricking sweet is that?!?!
I went in on Tuesday for testing, then on Friday I got a call back asking me to come in this week for an interview. So, today was my interview. I met with two really nice ladies who asked me a bunch of questions. They really made me think! It was pretty interesting, because I haven't really had an interview since I was like 18 years old, and I've never had one that was so in-depth. I think it went well for the most part, but I was a little nervous so I had a few moments of inarticulation which made me feel supremely intelligent. Alot of the questions were of the 'define x. Name a time when you have had to display x.' format. A few of them I really had to think about.
All in all I am just really really excited about this. I'm trying not to get my hopes up, because I'm sure they have or will interview other people, so I'm not a shoo-in for this job, but I would just love to start a new job, learn new skills, be challenged when I come into work. I love the company I work for now, I love the people I work with especially, but my actual work is just very dull and monotonous. I truly spend about 95% of my day typing, and alot of it is really horrific stuff, people dying or becoming permanently impaired, etc. and is just very depressing in general to read. I have a really hard time listening to the attorneys talk about accidents that involve children, especially fatal ones. I always have had a hard time with it, but ever since I had a child it's gotten even harder to do. Just fatalities in general are hard, even with older people. I think to myself, maybe so-and-so was 50 and got to live alot of their life, but what about all the people left behind? I think about myself in those situations, about what it's like living without my dad, and I know he got to live a very large portion of his life, but I have to live a large portion of my life without him and I know how difficult that is for me and must be for other people too.
I dunno. It's a thought....
