Best. Week. Ever!

Ok, maybe not the best week EVER, but it's wrapping up to be a great week!  Started on Monday with an 8am interview in Lake Oswego which is a small town south of Portland.  The issue is SOUTH of Portland...during rush hour....meaning I have to drive through Portland to get to it.  Well, first I have to drop D off at daycare and THEN make it through rush hour.   Thank goodness for GPS because it diverted me around any major roads and got me to my destination with time to spare.  The interview was with a recruiting company, but at this point I'll take all the help I can get.  I came home and job hunted more. 

Tuesday I met two friends for coffee (let's be serious, they had coffee, I had Diet Coke) and one of my friends said that she knew of two job openings.  One with her company and another with a friend of hers company!  AWESOME!!  I immediately sent off my resume's when I got home.  Just after lunch, *ring ring* went my phone.  Impromptu phone interview with a company in Portland - they're going to call back for formal interview times.  We'll see.  I could have kicked myself that I didn't just state that I was free on Friday and what time would they like to meet with me.   All well.  Not more than 10 min after hanging up with that call, *ring ring* again, another recruiting company calling to get more info. 

Wednesday morning, I checked my email and saw that a company wanted to meet with me that day!!  I quickly emailed back stating that I was available and what time.  2:30.  I was also told that this was only going to be a 15min interview - more than a phone screening, but less than an interview.  I went (the company is literally less than 1/2 mile from my apt), I loved what I heard and I'm crossing my fingers for the next interview.  

Today was more of the same.  Job hunting....aggressively.  *ring ring*  The company that called me on Tuesday is on the phone requesting to interview me tomorrow!!  YIPPPEEEEE!  It's in Portland, but I'm ok with that! 

Who knows what tomorrow will bring!  Maybe I should play the lottery considering all the good luck I've had this week. 

This is why I'm having a great week!  Nothing like getting down to the wire trying to find a job!!
