Fine, I'll make my own announcement.

Geeesh...if this is how they are going to treat me now that I'm on the team......hmmmph. laugh out loud






OK here's the scoop...are you paying attention?



I had a nice long phone interview with Bryantq back in Nov. and last week they flew me in to Vegas for the face-to-face interview.
The night before last, Bryantq informed me that I did indeed get the job. Yahoo! Whee I will be starting as the CRM of slickdeals on January 11th (barring any travel delays). They have informed me that they want to start me off as a Moderator while I'm still here in MI wrapping things up and prepping to move so that I can see what things are like behind the scenes.

*The Wizard is letting me see behind the curtain. nod

I have the next 2 weeks off work due to the holidays and then Jan.4th I will go back to my driving job for my last day. On Jan 5th, Bea and I will get in my car and start the 2100 mile drive to Las Vegas. Faint
I think I know what Dorthy felt like on her trip to Oz.

I am extremely excited about this opportunity and a tad...scared as hell! laugh out loud
I only have about 1015 things to do in the next 2 weeks.


Ummm since I can't even sticky my own announcement...that I had to make for myself...this feels a bit anticlimactic. Sadwalk

I would think it didn't hurt considering she is taking over running the sites contests as a whole. She had to be creative in coming up with her own giveaways and didn't have a preset standard to go by. Gotta love the mind of a woman who can think for herself! woot

I applied for the job back when it was posted...late Aug. or early Sept.

Then he contacted me in mid Oct. saying he finally got my sweatshirts in...and gave me extras to either give away or to run a contest. I had a feeling it may be part of a test...even though I had heard nothing about my applying for the job. I decided it was wiser to run a contest or 3. Then in Nov they contacted me for an interview and part way through I was told that yes...the contests were a bit of a test...but...I don't know how big that impacted my getting the job as I did have 2 lengthy interviews.

I hope that clears some things up. My getting the job is because (with some encouragement here) I went after it and put my past experiences out there.

I thought of that a couple of days ago but I forgot to ask when I got back to the computer. I imagine it was like a hands-on interview test.

And passed with flying colors. Whee

I had a 60 minute phone interview and then a face-to-face interview...it wasn't just handed to me by any means.

I just talked to them today about those... they are so busy that they haven't had time to ship them out. If they aren't out by the time I get there I will work on those as one of my first few assignments I'm sure. laugh out loud

But were the contests a part of the interview process or not? If so that must have been some real pressure to deal with.
