My job interview

I went to a career fair on wednesday and got hooked up with a recruiter from a staffing agency. I had an interview on Friday at a job staffing place here with a recruiter. She has a job for me that is for a banking company that has started a division that takes over billings and taxes, etc, for its clients. Its kind of like this business here called Paychex which everyone in the city knows about so thats what i've been telling people its like lol. I asked her the name of the company tho and she said she "couldnt tell me yet because they like to remain private and dont want their name all out there." Ummm ok, thats odd, i hate secrecy. They have different braches of legal stuff too, i know they do real estate, and morgage law and stuff. Umm...she'll call me on monday probably to set up an interview which would acutally be with this company, and i'd have that interview next week. She said she'd be sitting in on that interview because theyre trying to cut down on the interview process (im assuming they used to do two interviews and are now making it into one). She was telling me about how they interview a bit and of course i was nervous about it. She said they do some like historical inititive or something approach...i dont really know. Basically playing off of my answers to their questions to ask me further questions. Be prepared to give detailed examples of times i've done problem solving, analyzing, decision making, etc. She was giving me some ideas...basically the roll she's is now is to help me get th ejob but she told me to be careful at the next interview cuz she has to wear a different hat at that one and dont ask her the things i would normally as her as my recruiter (its more chatty and casual in the recruiter relationship and the next one we'll have to act more formal.) Im glad she'll be there though cuz i think i'll feel a little more at ease. This job doesnt pay great, but its a dollar more than paychex for the same position and paychex is like THE reputable company in the city to get involved in, so i think thats a good sign. I get benefits, 401K, and 3.5 weeks of vacation a year. The good thing about the vacation is that every pay period you get reaccredited. So if you used a week, then the next pay period you would get bumped back up to 3.5 weeks. I wasnt really sure how it works but my recruiter was just like thats so awesome i wish my job was like that! So basically i would have a good amt of vacation available lol. The job is definatly a "get your feet wet" type of position and a good way to gain expereince. She said a lot of the people in the company are young, and actually the managers who are her contacts NOW were the graduates she placed there in 2003. So the managers are only 4 years older than me, plus its a good sign that they advanced already. She also said this job is good experience cuz other graduates she has placed here have gone on to great jobs and stuff. So we'll see!

Hello all

Well, as usual i have been super busy, will it ever end?

I am frantically running around trying to finish up my college career, complete with exams, papers and last minute presentations. I'm also attempting to find a decent job after I graduate...i've had semi leads, but all have sort of unraveled. I'm going to go to a career fair on Wednesday, there's a ton of employer's going and many seem to be up my ally, so maybe that will turn something up.

Eric and I are doing well! It is still really, well, shitty, living 1.5 hours apart but what can you do? I've been crabby lately though, and he's had to put up with that. Being a crabby b*tch so early on in a relationship probably isn't the best thing. I need to remember to be really nice to him this weekend when he's here, haha. No i really do though, i've been moody and crabby for like 2 weeks due to crazy stress on top of PMS. The past 2 weekends he was here i got "mad" at him for such stupid reasons. Honestly now. Do you ever look back at your actions and emotions and think "my GOD i was a stupid girl!" I need to start being more happy go lucky again and not so stressed out. I even got a panic attack last week and i havent gotten one of those in 2 years! Last week was probably the worst week of my semester, but still. No one wantsto be around a crabby person, so i really need to work on improving my attitude.

I got a traffic ticket for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign (i STOPPED i swear!) and it cost me $200. THEN, NY state has this new law where if you have 6 points on your license you owe them $300- thats $100 a year for 3 years. This is brand spankin' new and of course i would get it. So that stupid stop sign is costing me $500. It was at the end of an expressway ramp in the middle of no where (getting off at my college) and of course there was a cop sitting there waiting for me. It kills me every car i see does the same thing i did-you can see for miles and miles and if theres no cars coming, you do the rolling stop thing. I swear i stopped for real though. A cops word against mine though, no point in arguing. So yea, money has been a stresser lately because of that. My apartments rent is $2000/month (split between 4 of us) but here they do it by semester since its a monoplozied college town. I owed $950, but i went and paid $400 last week so now my wonerful balance is $550. Le sigh, i hate money.
