I had an interview at a medium-sized employer last week. The interview started of kinda rocky; I had some “I don’t know’s” as answers to some rather crucial questions. However, since I am the interviewing-est person in all of Michigan, I was able to rally and save the interview.

I was able to save it so well that I was called to give the written A-OK for some background checking. I take this as a good sign, because places in this economic environment won’t spend the 50 buck on a criminal check on someone they aren’t very interested in. And finally, leading a very dull and uneventful life will pay off. My background and credit are clean as a whistle.

I know that they are looking to have someone start in early January, and since the holidays are coming up, I’m assuming a decision will be made pretty quickly.

I am keeping my fingers crossed. Tightly. A job would be the best holiday present I could get.
