My previous post was wrong, I did hear back from the recruiter about a week ago and she set me up with another telephone interview, this time with the senior finance manager. I just finished talking to her and I fucked up bad. For some reason, my home phone was getting a lot of static and I had to interrupt her and asked her to call my cell phone. Just my luck, my home phone never had this problem before, but it just had to happen today. Then of course, I was stammering like an idiot. While my stammering wasn't as bad as last time, I still could have done better. I swear she sounded uninterested in what I had to say by the end of the interview. She said she'll refer to HR to see where we'll go in the next step. Sounds like a 'Nope' to me. Facepalm.
It's not all bad though. Somehow, my dad managed to set me up with an interview with the tax manager at a large tech company. Apparently one of his clients is an accountant there so I'll be doing multiple face to face interviews tomorrow. Hopefully I'm a lot more graceful in person than on the phone. Also, after applying for a part time accounting assistant position at an advertising firm last night, the company called me back this morning. Strangely, I didn't stutter, stammer or become an incoherent mess while talking to the recruiter. Really weird. Was it because I didn't really care about the job or was it because I just woke up and my brain didn't understand the gravity of the situation? It's something to investigate into.
On another note, none of the government accounting internships have responded at all. No 'rejected', 'under consideration', or 'cancelled'. It's been a month since I applied to some of them and there are no updates on their status. I'm not sure if they found someone already and didn't bother to notify anyone else or if the status updates are slow as molasses due to government bureaucracy.
Note to self: Keep working on telephone interactions.
