The prospects seem to be pouring out of the ceiling! Well, dripping, but rather steadily.
I missed two phone calls today from prospects while volunteering at the library. One was from my coordinator at Woodridge Press with regards to the Leadership Development Program for which I am a candidate. She contacted me to determine if I had any questions about the interview process and to give me further details on how it would go.
The second was from a company that I applied to so long ago it was before I started this blog! The company is BowTie Inc., a publisher of hobby magazines and corresponding books. The position is a Consumer Marketing and Fulfillment Specialist position. Apparently they have another opening in the department for which I applied a month and a half ago. They would like me to come in to talk (for another interview I assume) and discuss the position.
I have a few questions for them, most prominently on my mind "why were four jobs opened up in less than two months?" With turn over rate like that, I'm a tad skeptical. Of course with the holiday season just around the corner and the recession slowly (very slowly) becoming less of a concern, they may be considering expanding their operation.
Then again, there's always the chance that it's not a particularly desirable position.
As for Woodridge Press I am quite a bit more hopeful. It sounds like the interview is a combination of them getting to know me and introducing me to my future coworkers. Though I am hesitant to be too optimistic, I believe a calm-yet-positive outlook is appropriate. They will treat me to lunch during the process, and introduce me to five people around the company including the production manager, the financial controller and the president. It will be just me through the process (interesting, I would have thought that they'd have many more eager applicants and want to get us all through at the same time).
Wish me luck!
Best regards,
Beth
