I had an interview on Wednesday that lasted 2 hours. I walked away from the interview, extremely excited and feeling like I nailed the interview. I have been "on edge" wondering what the outcome of the interview would be, as that is the LONGEST interview I have ever gone through. I have been weighing the pros and cons of that job, vs. the job I'm currently in. The hours are 9-6, which is going to be a change from my 8-430 hours. The commute is about the same, maybe a few minutes longer, than my current commute...which is fine, especially since it's easy access to major highways to get home. The pay is much better and the room for advancement is much much better than my current position. My Medical/dental/vision benefits would be paid for IN FULL by the company, with no money out of my paycheck. Which is great. I would only have to pay the difference if I add FI (who will be my DH by the time benefits kick in) and my son to the insurance. Two weeks vacation (off the bat) and 3 personal/sick days. I can't beat that with a stick! In speaking with FI, he believes I would be happier in the new job and would support me in my decision and change of positions.
Anyhow. I just got a call offering me the position. I'm beyond thrilled. I told them I would call them back in an hour because I needed to discuss it with FI a little bit more. They understood and said that they will await my call. When I spoke with my FI he was beyond thrilled for me. He could tell I was happy because I was bouncing around like a loon after the interview, and practically the past day and a half. So, we decided I would accept the new position. I am only putting in a 1 week notice because I am needed to start the position ASAP. I am a little nervous what the response will be from my boss when I hand her the letter on Monday. I think she's aware that it is coming, but doesn't know when. She and the president of the company has been well aware that I've been searching for a new job but haven't had any luck. Well, little do they know!!!
I must be nuts changing jobs a month and a half away from the wedding. It'll be good for me. I know it!!!!
