Question...
How the HELL am I ever going to get a real full-time job if nobody even wants to hire me on as an intern??!
I got letters from Crowe and DDF this week saying that I didn't get the position.... DDF was the one I really really wanted and thought the interview went so well in. SO disappointing! Well, I guess I can say that at least I am actually getting interviews... last year/earlier this year I couldn't even manage to get that far. But I wanted to intern with DDF. :(
Well, today I had interview #5. They just called yesterday and said "We want you to come in today or tomorrow." Alrighty then, thanks for the advance notice! I wasn't too thrilled about it before I went in (but that was pretty much because I was set on working at DDF and didn't know yet that I didn't get it) because it's not for an accounting firm and therefore doesn't pay as well. Ahh well it still pays better than Logan's. But it was with Tempur-Pedic International, for their Corporate Financial Reporting Department. Did you know that even though they sell Swedish mattresses, their headquarters is right here in Lexington?? So yeah, needless to say, if I worked for them I would have my hands full because I would be dealing with accounting for the locations throughout the world (um, yeah, in 14 other countries.) It sounds like it would be a great way to learn about financial accounting, but it really is just straight journal entries and trial balances and stuff... I think I want to go into tax or cost accounting (which is managerial, not financial.) Whatever though... we'll see I guess. I don't really know how to guage how the interview went, kinda don't care right now.
I have another interview with Kroger on Monday. If I got that job, I'd be living in Cincinnati and traveling 60% of the time.
Happier news: I think I might have actually gotten an A on my first Cost Accounting test I took this morning (which I seriously thought I was going to fail.) I'm trying not to get my hopes up too much though, since I also thought I had a good chance at getting that internship with DDF - and look where that ended up. (I was in a really good mood today because of that test, until I opened the letter from DDF.)
I'm also trying to decide if I'm gonna quit AKPsi. I don't really have a good reason, other than that I can't afford the $102 membership fees that are due today. I only joined it because I wanted something to make my resume look better... but nobody has asked about it once in my interviews yet. On the other hand, if I quit, I might just be screwing myself over because I already can't seem to get anyone to want to hire me, so I shouldn't get rid of anything that might increase my future chances of that. Crap.
