On Thursday (May 26), I have a second interview for a job that I really, really want... I had the first interview back on May 5th, and it went really well and I was so excited today when they called to say that they want me to come back for a second interview!!!! I had just about given up hope since I hadn't heard anything for so long, but I guess all of the first interviews took awhile... They said that it's between me and one other person, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed... I haven't been working since mid-March, so I really hope I get this job... They said during the first interview that they need to fill the position immediately, and they know that I could start right away, so I guess I have an edge there.

Thanks so much everyone for all your well wishes... The 2nd interview yesterday went well, and I was told that I will either hear today or Tuesday. Like Jan said, the first interview was with FOUR people, and yesterday's second interview was with another FOUR people... the first interview was with the four people who will be my supervisors if I get the job, and yesterday's interview was with the four people that would be doing the same job that I will be doing... Both interviews went really well, and I'm keeping my hopes up that I will get the job.
On Wednesday (May 25), I had another interview for a different job, and that one went well too... So, if I don't get the job I really want, then hopefully this other job will come through...
I'll keep you posted.
Thanks again, Dann

Goodluck, Dann!!
I have been applying for summer jobs, but there isn't much around here hiring. I saw a classified ad for a Laundromat, so I picked up an application and filled it out. I was really hoping I wouldn't get called back there, but the other day I had a message on the answering machine from the manager. I caller her back today and she set up an interview with me for Wednesday. They are hiring 20 people, so chances of me getting in there are pretty good I think, as long as the interview goes ok. But I want to find out how much I'd be making, and also what hours I'd be working...all I know is that it's an overnight shift doing laundry. Ohwell...I'm not very picky, and know it's atleast good experience if nothing else.

Yea the job market is real bad in NY too now Julie..esp since 9/11:( That's why our Steph had to leave:( We miss her so too..My job has had rumors of pending layoffs and if it should fly I'll have to take anything I can get to..or at least till I'd find another. I dunno they say it's supposedly getting better but I know like almost 10 ppl outta work now and or looking..shame..Feel bad for kids getting out of school now..Hopefully the economy will get better..I am still a/w a lottery win:) Or mega jackpot would be nice:)

Yeah, I'm hearing you, Jan. Seems like everyday you are hearing about more people getting layed off...it's terrible. Good luck to you....I hope you have some good news and don't get layed off.
Sometimes I worry about what I'll find for a job once I am through college. I'm majoring in Social Work this fall. It's not the best paying job out there, but I'm not in it for the money...although it's sad these days you really have to think about going into something for the money because everything is so expensive. I can hardly wait until the day comes that I have to look into buying a home! I don't know how young families starting out even do it.
My sister got her degree in Elementary Education last year, but still hasn't found a full time teaching position. So for now she has been doing long & short term subbing until she can find something. ...odd how now all of a sudden there isn't a huge demand for teachers.

Jan, Julie, Nick is having a real hard time finding something in the editing field. He is working at our hospital right now as an orderly until he can find something. He is now thinking about going back to college for a teaching degree in video but I know teaching jobs aren't that great. I guess video teachers have a little better chance. He also talked about going into Nuclear medicine...which is really in demand and great paying but totally not what he REALLY wants to be. So hard out there. DEE

Thanks, Jan! I did get contacted for a second interview for next week....woo hoo! Have an interview with another company mid-week next week, too. I'm trying to keep myself in check about all of this because it's been really rough with the ups and downs of interviewing, waiting, hearing/not hearing anything back, but I'm hoping things will fall into place soon.
