Job Offer

Last Tuesday (a week ago), I received a phone call from one of Jon's friend's, Joe. He works for an IT consulting/staffing firm in STL and wanted to know if I was still job-hunting. Obviously, I was/am...However, the position he had available was for an executive administrator. A glorified secretary, if you will. Not the most ideal position, and the pay was nothing to write home about, but I figured I wasn't in a position to be picky.

Since last Tuesday, I've had a phone interview and an in-person and interview. This morning, I was offered the position. The pay rate that they were looking to pay was $26,000- $30,000; Although I am entry level, I really feel that any employee these days is worth $30,000 MINIMUM. So, in the Interview, I asked for more money.... And -- ASK and you SHALL RECEIVE!

I'm really excited about working with this company, and now, I've just got to pass the drug test & background check. More on that, later...

Interview

I've got a job interview tomorrow. It's for an executive-level admin position at an IT consulting company -- after a year, I choose what direction/path I want to take in the company and given that there's an opening, will hopefully receive a promotion and be on my way. I'm really excited, the company has been ranked numerous times in Forbes, Time, and a multitude of organizations as one of the fastest growing companies and one of the best companies to work for. The pay is shit, which is why I'm a little concerned... but, if all else fails, I might be dusting off the old Vito's apron and strappin one on during the weekends. (That's what she said.)


Wish me good luck!
