The Job Interview Part 1

Interesting day today... After deciding to take a lesser role in my business venture, I immediately received two interview emails for the next two Saturdays. Today's interview was with a great company with strong financials and a bright future ahead of it. The image to the left should tell you who the company was. I get there at about 10a - though the email said 8a - 12p. I was anticipating a crowd of people and a bunch of tables with HR reps at them... quite the opposite. The building was actually locked! I had security let me and and then the wait began. In a room with potential candidates - man I hate group interviews - but to my surprise they called us in one by one. I had a good vibe about me today. No pressure... confident in my abilities and in the back of my head I knew that I needed to try to get something this month because I got a family to look after. If only things played out better for my business venture, but for now... I have to do what's good for my family and I. So the interview began with one person, then I get handed off to another person - looks like I made the next round. Then I am sent into a training room facility where I need to take an assesment test. 60 to 90 min! Whoa this is pretty intense. After that I was told that I 'passed' and I was off to another interview! Whew... this is hard work. But, definitely something that I am grateful for being able to do especially in these economic times. The final interview was pretty much the same as the other two... questions about how you would handle this or when did you do that. Overall, I felt I was able to communicate what I am about and what I am able to do. I let them know that I aspired to work my way up the ranks to a position that I really thought would fit me best, but I understood that in order to attain things you want you have to be able to put in the work. So we'll see how I did on this interview as they should get back to me sometime next week. As for now... I have a few other things on the back burner - we do have a tasting to do tomm and I wonder how that will be. I know our product is great and I know we have a shot, but w/out all the pieces of the puzzle working together as one... the odds are virtually against us. We'll just have to wait and see.

I did get a chance to go to Toys R Us and get a new Yo Gabba Gabba DVD for my boys... it's the 'New Friends' DVD with Jack Black. Man I remember when I setup the network for these guys back in Costa Mesa. They have done so well and my oldest boy loves this program! It is a hip and happenin version of Sesame Street. Great job Craig and the rest of the YGG guys. I hope to be able to visit your studio sometime soon! Well that's all for now folks... if anyone is reading this... thanks for reading and don't forget that life has it's struggles, but (you gotta be a dad to relate to this) seeing your kids smile, kiss and hug you is all the reason I need to keep struggling for them.

Enjoi.
