I had a second audition/interview at Princeton Review last night. I think it went pretty well -- at least, I feel like I did better than I did the first time, and the first one was good enough that they called me for a second one.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Omigod, P-C, you are having my job hunt. Except that we have different actual jobs we'd like, the experience is identical.
I'm a little tempted by First Investors because the office is 3 blocks from my house. But that's no reason to take a job. I do think I'm gonna have to cave and be a financial advisor for a while. Or something.

Oh, Lyra, that is just WRONG. I am so sorry. Good luck on the second interview, though.
So, my boss has finally figured out my quick working pace. I think I have about a week's worth of work to do today. I'm taking it on as a challenge to see how much I can complete today.

Plus, every job wants years of experience. I CAN'T HAVE EXPERIENCE IF I CAN'T GET A JOB.

Yeah, see, that's why you gotta take it easy the first coupla weeks!

Sorry about the crappy job-hunt experience PC. I graduated in the early 90s when there wasn't a very good hiring environment either. I had to take a crappy job to pay the bills while I kept looking for something better. Even the crappy job had 300 applicants despite paying jack.
Edit: That wasn't very encouraging. I'm just saying even if you can't get a good job right away, that doesn't mean you can't get one eventually even if the first one isn't so hot.

I feel you.
I don't know if this will make you feel better or worse, but everyone I've kept in touch with from my MBA program is in exactly the same boat.
If Henry's company goes under, we're gonna look for a tropical resort that needs a network administrator/financial management team. It's a nice dream.
