On Saturday, Oct 10th, I applied for two jobs in York: HR Assistant & Recruiter.
The Recruiter company got back to me 2 days later, asking for an interview with the Branch Manager!
I prepared for like crazy!
- Studied every paragraph of their website
- took notes and studied them
- Wrote possible questions and answers down
- Asked my hosts for advice
- Selected my outfit, make-up, hair etc. very carefully
- Got there 15 minutes early.
The first thing the receptionist said to me: “Ooh I love your accent!!” (Man, I don’t have one!) So, we started talking a bit.
When the Manager came out, he seemed very nice, approaching and cool. He was wearing a simple tshirt and you could see his tattoos. It was less strict than I expected but I really liked it! I guess it’s the American way. We had a great conversation, it was no critical evaluation or inquisition.
-> He wanted to work with me! Needs recruiters immediately but December would be fine
-> However he cannot hire me without the VP’s permission
-> Scheduled 2nd interview with VP and him: today
-> It was very short, I think the VP was quite busy
-> She wants me to work at the Lancaster office rather than York as it gets very busy there soon. She’ll give me a call today or tomorrow
—> Job safe to 95% !! (Branch manager said: Congrats!)
Great company because:
- One of most successful HR staffing companies in PA
- Crazy therefore amazing Company philosophy
- Interesting position even though tough -> Recruiting industrial employees, working overtime -> weekend and night shifts possible
But man, I really want this job and it looks pretty good!! 😀
