… or the company actually emails you back. Because … holy crap, I totally got offered the job at the Beverage Factory like, two minutes ago!

I got email from one of the places I interviewed with (NIC Media) and she told me she decided to go with the other applicant. So it wasn’t as much of a shoo-in as I thought! The other company hasn’t contacted me, I tried to email them yesterday but didn’t hear back. Since they said they were going to make their decision on Wednesday, I get the sinking feeling they are not going to offer it to me since it’s Friday now. Oh well, I am bummed about this. I thought for sure I would get one of these jobs! Back to the drawing board I guess.

I quickly made this card this morning for one of my swaps. I should have maybe done a different background inside of the boxes and lines. Oh well, it still looks okay. Most of my cards look simple like this anyway. I don’t like to do too much embellishment.

As for my two job interviews, they both went pretty good. Yesterday was the one at the Beverage Factory – the guy I interviewed kept commenting on how he was impressed with my skill set and appreciated that I also had a background in journalism, since there was some copywriting involved in the position.

The job I had today, at NIC Media, was really good. I was practically a shoo-in for this job. The commute for this one is longer, the pay is less, but there’s the potential for bonuses and growth and to develop web sites in the future after she gets a feeling for how I work and trusts me.

The Beverage Factory said they’d make their decision tomorrow and NIC Media (which is actually just one woman) asked me to email her tomorrow to let her know if I’m offered the other position. So, the way I see it, no use deciding between the two until I’m offered positions. Mmm, steady work.

I made this card the other day for one of my swaps. I also made a birthday card for Brandon’s birthday, but I already had it sealed up before I remembered to take a photo.

The stamp used on this card was given to me by Jen – it was part of my bridesmaids gift. Score. Jen is totally cool and knows what I like!

PS – I know I mispelled “espresso”. I was too lazy to remake the whole card.

I have my second job interview at the Beverage Factory tomorrow and a face to face interview on Tuesday at the other place. Maybe I’ll actually get one of these job things.
