Not some picture on the wall, but my interview! I don't want to sound conceded or anything but I am a LEO!! and that's what I do. Anyways, I kinda did pretty awesome at the interview. I think I answered the questions pretty well and the guy was very nice. I felt confident and held my head high. He must have asked me like 20+ questions and took 3 pages of notes while I was talking. He told me about the business: Brekke Tours & Travel, which was founded 52 years ago by Arnnie Brekke, who is now 80 years old and still comes to work every day. They specialize in booking 9-15 day Scandinavian tours (Norway, Sweden, Finland, etc). The office building they are in used to be the airport terminal and has two apartments in the basement and an office space on the 2nd floor. They also have a few apartment buildings. It would be part of my job to show apartments, collect rent from tenants, and schedule/record maintenance issues. I would also maintain the office building schedules and grounds keeping (snow removal, lawn moving, and cleaning--i'm thinking I could hook you up, Karissa!!) And I'd do all the bookkeeping and taking reservations and payments, etc.
They had 2 other interviews to do, one yesterday and one today, and then he was gonna talk it over with the owners. Good news is that they are checking up on me more. They called my references today around 3:30pm. They called April, even though I had her listed as a personal reference. So she had to make like she was my boss and that I was the best employee she ever had! Thanks April! Then they called Randy, while I was on the phone with April telling me about them calling her! Randy came to see me at work tonight and told me that he really talked me up. And he says he'd be surprised if they DIDN'T offer me the position. So I'm very hopeful!
Anyways, I am hoping to hear from them tomorrow but I have a feeling they are gonna wait til next week.
Well gotta go. Just gettin' done with work and gotta be back by 8am. That sucks. But Derek will be home tomorrow and has a 4 day weekend. He's has Monday and Tuesday off! More quality spouse time!
