Exclamation Another day, Another Job Interview

OK today is another of those interview days. This time its for DialAmerica in New Port Richey, FL. Just off Little Road for those who live near Tampa.

If I get this job, its part-time, working as a cold caller phoning people for Surveys(YUCK) on behalf of the United States Army. So if you get a phone call from someone with an British accent, it could be me. Just be kind OK

OK guess I will toddle off and see what the HR lady has to say to me this time. I am certainly not getting my hopes up, or holding my breath. I need a drink LOL

I don't know if you're at all superstitious but if I were you, I wouldn't mention going for job interviews to many people until at least after you've had the interview.

It worked for me.

So they didn't even give you the new date? Don't hold your breath for that job.. I'm sure there are more exciting jobs you can do anyway..

Thats the office number, they have separate numbers for cold calling. They had a row of booths in that place all with people making calls. They can't all be using the same number. I will be sure to call you as soon as I get the job, you will be my number 1 priority. Would you be interested in joining the United States Army, we are conducting a survey for the United States Army.

Hmm, the American Way strikes again. If I had a dollar for everytime that has happened to me........

Good luck with everything. I'll most likely be doing those rounds again soon enough when my current self employed contracting lark dries up - not looking forward to it.
