This morning I had the first step in the interview process for a job at a major university located in Chicago. To be more exact, I had just over four hours of computer skills testing this morning which has lead to an interview this coming Monday morning at 10 am. It went well, really well in fact. A few questions threw me a bit of a curve ball but overall I'm confident that what they threw my way was information I know.
The kicker was that my most recent job, the one that laid me off a couple months ago that resulted in me experiencing this oh so wondrous job search, rents office space from the aforementioned university. In fact, the Human Resources department of this amazing university is located in the graduate school building exactly one floor above where I used to work. Yes, you read that correctly, I got to go for this stage of the interview process and sit literally one floor above where I used to work. Can we say awkward?!?!
I debated all morning...do I make a point to stop by and say hello or do I just cross my fingers and hope that I don't run into anyone I know in the elevator? In the end I decided to be the better person and I did stop by after my computer testing was done. And, ultimately, I'm glad I did. I got to say hi to those I wanted to see and showed that I can wish them well despite being laid off from my employment there through no fault of my own.
Of course it did help that my hair and outfit were cooperating and that I was looking rather amazing if I do say so myself. :)
