Job stuff.
so i have two pieces of exciting information about the job hunt. yesterday i got an e-mail reply from one of the companies i sent my resume to. they sent me this questionnaire thing to fill out and send back. it's kinda weird. i printed it off and spent all day figuring out how to answer it, then i sent a copy of my answer to my prof back at Owens to look it over before i send it back to them. it's very exciting. i've finally gotten some interest.
the other piece of good news is that today i was checking the voice mail on our home phone and turns out i got a call from Crowl Inc., who i sent out a resume on the 18th. so i'm freaking out about that. i took down all the information but i'm so TERRIBLE on the phone. i'm scared about calling them without some kinda plan. on the message they said that they wanted to schedule an interview some time next week either on Wednesday or Thursday. man, i should call back right now. i wish it wasn't friday. i don't want to let the whole weekend go by without calling them, i'm just a little nervous.
GAH!!! i was whining about not being able to find work and now that something[s] have come around, i'm so not looking forward to the whole job-interviewing phase.
okay. i'm gonna call Crowl. i'm going to take a deep breath, try to control my crazy fast-talking and set up an appointment for either day.
i need to get to Owens to update my portfolio.
wish me luck.
EDIT
called. made an appointment for an interview on Thursday at 900. now i just have to find the damn place.
EDIT AGAIN
shit. so i just checked up on this place, which i should have done before calling. it's in North Canton, OH, which is about two and a half hours away from toledo. i don't know what to do. should i call back and cancel? i mean... jeez. i don't know. i REALLY need a job, but i don't really want to move, lord knows that's a lot on my plate. but i mean, it's not like i'm guaranteed the job or anything. i could just go and try it out.
but jeez. it's at 9 in the morning, which means i'll be going alone, for two and a half hours [knowing me, three hours] to some place i've never seen before.
now i'm all nervous and scared. i need some advice.
LAST EDIT
so i called my mom for some advice. she said that a 5 hour round-trip drive for a job i probably wouldn't take if offered doesn't seem to make a lot of sense. granted, i'd get some experience in interviewing for a graphic job, but i don't really want to move to North Canton. i don't want to be three hours away from my family and friends.
i'm leaning towards calling them and cancelling the interview. and man, would it be the perfect job. i looked over the listing on monster.com again and it's exactly what i was looking for. inter/entry level, working with others already in the field.
but i'm thinking it wasn't meant to be.
i still have this questionnaire thingy from the company in toledo. [we say YAY for toledo.] i just need Carey's a-okay before sending it off.
it might take a little longer for me to find a graphics job.
i'm chaning my moon from aces to disppointed.
