Job stuff and whatnot
Jun. 30th, 2006 01:48 pmSo, a couple-three weeks ago I got this call from a recruiter. They had come across my resume at the Society of Actuaries website and wanted to know if I'd be interested in submitting it for a position in Monterey. We talked about how I wasn't really looking for a job right now, but what the hell. A few days later they call again to say that the company thought I'd be a better fit for Underwriting, would I be interested in that? I read the job description and decided that I would be. Last week I had a phone interview with HR, and they said I should hear by the end of this week if they wanted a F2F.
Monday I got a call that they want to meet with me and can I come down on Thursday? Henry and I decide to bring the dog with us and have a bit of a holiday.
( Long version behind cut )
I honestly have no idea how the interview went. The HR portion was practically identical to the phone interview, and the VP talked a lot more then I did, so there' no telling what impression I made.
Which is fine. I don't really know what to hope for - if they make me an offer I will most likely take it and be happy about it. The work sounds like it would suit me, living in Monterey would be fantastic. But if they pass on me, that would be okay, too. I'm kind of tired of moving, and I'm not really anxious to be working.
Anyway, after the interview we walked 2 miles down the Monterey Rec. Trail to Fisherman's Wharf, with a slight detour for a little beach time. Walter's first time in the Pacific! He was a little unsure about the waves, but a big fan of smelly things that have washed up on shore. Lunch was a crab quesadilla, fish & chips, and key lime pie. Oh, and a sampler cup of "Monterey Clam Chowder". Yum!
The 2 miles back gave me a blister and some sunburn, but overall it was worth it.
