I went in for a face to face interview on Tuesday and it went better than I could have ever expected. I was confident without being cocky, inquisitive without being overly talkative and, most importantly, I felt relaxed in this company's environment. I took a computer skills assessment and then spoke with the man who would be my boss if I am to be hired, and I liked him. He came off as by-the-rules, strict-yet-fair supervisor. We chatted, laughed, discussed the position at length and...I really want this job.
I've worked both in retail and in-patient hospital pharmacies and I loved both of those jobs. It's something I feel comfortable doing and gives me a sense of being productive and a sense of fulfillment at the end of the day. This job is a full time position that comes with benefits, a 401k, and paid time off. Paid time off?! What IS that?! What sealed the deal for me and pushed my desire for this job through the roof is that there is opportunity for me to move my way up the rungs of this company's ladder. That's one of my requirements for whatever job comes my way. I want to be able to make something of myself and know that I'm not "stuck" in the position I get hired for. What stands out in my mind is when the head pharmacist of the dispensing lab said, "If you want it and it shows, people here notice."
So my fingers are crossed. I am incredibly happy with how the interview went and have put it in God's hands. There's a reason I wasn't called for interviews with other jobs I applied for. There's a reason I didn't get hired from my last interview. I'm hoping this is the job that was waiting for me.
On a side note, that evening I went to bingo night at the VFW and won $80. I have never won at games involving luck and/or chance. (Hence why I don't gamble.) I can't deny that I took that as a sign.
