Tuesday after work I had another interview, for another position. This time though, I think I have a bit of an edge on the rest.
You see, the company I am applying to work for used to be merged with my dad's company, House of Graphics. They were in the same building for the longest time, and all treated me like family. The interview was great, somewhat of a reunion with those fellas. The facility is brand new, with state of the art equipment. The attitude of the company and it's employees is completely positive, which is a huge contrast to the current environment I am in. They offer a 401 k plan and benefits, it's like heaven! After we talked for almost an hour and a half I thanked him, jumped in my car and drove home.
He called me back yesterday afternoon and had one question for me...Are you dependable? I quickly answered yes, and he followed by telling me that they are extremely interested in having me work for them. Then he asked me to come in Monday when I get done working, to see if we can't help each other and work something out! Needless to say I squeezed out a few more thank yous, hung up the phone and started dancing around like a little elf!
I am usually one who doesn't like to buy the whole 'things happen for a reason' theory...But at times like this I have to wonder. I mean it turns out that not getting the last job I applied for could have been the best thing that happened to me. Hindsight is always 20/20 I guess.
