Day 10 and 11: Still getting interviews and interesting drug test!

Wow... the past couple of days have been really busy for me. On Saturday, I went to the Coke Cola 400 in Daytona Beach, (for all you NASCAR heads). The ending was great and I was actually able to see (and have pictures) of the final lap when Kyle Busch Spun out LOL!!!!! On Sunday and Monday I was bascially running around and completing as many as 50 shops this week. It is a good thing I am busy this week since today I had a OTJ (on the job) for a management position with a Quick Service restaurant. For those who do not know what a OTJ is, a OTJ is a great way for quick service restaurants to see if you are a great fit to the company. The OTJ is also great since you will have a better idea of the day to day functions of the restaurant, and to see if you can take the work on a daily basis. The staff and the manager were great and at the end I got a conditional employement offer pending my drug test. If this is not getting better, I also recieved a a couple of phone calls, one for a Food Service company whom I was previously employed with for a third final interview for a shift manager position. I also have a initial interview tomorrow with a hotel, as well as intereview tomorrow morning for a security office for light collections. I am also waiting on a phone call with the major telecommuncations company to find out if I will get the position for Retail Manager with in turn will offer relocation to an another city. All in all, I feel that I am moving forward and I will continue to look for positions in various areas in order to feel my right fit.

Now today I recieve and interesting drug test were I had to spit into a stick in order to determing if I am using drugs. It was a very interesting test, and a big difference from the typical pee in the cup test.

I am working this week with my temp position. I am hoping to get some more stories from other college graduates who are going through the same process like I am. IF you are a recent college graduate and you are or where having problems looking for a job or you had to take a lesser position that you may not want then please feel to email me.

I also want to recommend www.indeed.com. This website is great since it complies all of the online websites into one database. This is great as I recently use this site as a one stop shop for all of the job listings.

That is it for now.... I will blog back tomorrow to talk about my two interviews tomorrow and my temp position. (maybe I can get the pictures up of the race this past weekend!)
