Good luck Tink, i'll be keeping my

Tink · 02-25-2008, 03:15 PM

One of my referrences called me this afternoon to tell me she'd just gotten a call from the local court house here asking questions about me. She was asked to describe me with 3 words, so she said "personable, generous and hardworking"; was asked if I was an "administrative position" type of person (whatever that means) and what it had been like to work with/under me for several years. Lucky for me the lady they called is very quick on her feet and said she told them I'm very professional, caring and determined to find solutions for even the toughest of problems. She said she herself calls me even now to get ideas to help her in HER job although we no longer have any type of formal business relationship.

Considering she didn't even know I had applied for a job, she did well. LOL

I hope the others are as kind! LOL

It sounds to me like she gave you an EXCELLENT reccomendation!!!! I'm sure that the others will do just as well.

Thanks Diana, I just heard from another one of my references who had also gotten a call today. She was at work so had been left a message... but she's down with the flu tonight so said she's staying home tomorrow and will call them back in the morning. I'm sorry she's sick, but it's good timing for me!

The third one hadn't been called yet, so hopefully they just ran out of time and will call her tomorrow. Because I worked so long online, my references are far away... in Maryland, Texas and Virginia. I hope they don't think that's a negative. They wanted to know what job positions each of them hold, so I tried to come up with people who are in administration themselves.

Good news, Tink. Still have fingers crossed for you!!!

Janet · 02-26-2008, 05:56 AM

What a wonderful recommendation Tink and I'm sure the next one will be just as good. I will keep hoping you get the position and that's it's everything you've wanted.

That's so nice to get outstanding recommendations!

I'd hire you in a New York minute!

Tink · 02-26-2008, 05:28 PM

Thanks Ladies!
Judy, I wish you were the one hiring for this job! LOL

They have called 2 of my 3 references... and so far I haven't been called to set a time for an interview. So either it's taking her longer than expected to get ready for it, or someone else came along that knocked her socks off.

She did say she "hoped" to interview on Wednesday... so I'm kinda on pins and needles right now.
