Week #1:
The Tap Music - Waiting to hear back about visa business. But other than that, I'm all aboard. (Extracted JPGs from my 3D animation below.)
Vizlingo - I declined the offer because of my interview with Oriel Wines. Bold move perhaps, but I'd rather be bold than boring. Let's hope it was a winning move too. Otherwise, I will feel like an idiot.
Mid-writing update! Wicky from Oriel Wines just emailed me saying:
"Just wanted to let you know that I really enjoyed meeting you last week. I'm meeting with my team today to have one final review of all applications, and make a decision. You are one of my favorite candidates so I just wanted to make sure that you're still available. Please let me know!"
Everyone - keep your fingers crossed! It's an order.
Shecky's - I withdrew my interest in the Sales Internship even before knowing whether they had chosen me or not. Still, they emailed me the other day and asked me to get in touch about their Marketing Internship. Roger must have liked me. Or at least I assume it's a good thing when someone says "you remind me of myself". Will I get back to them? I don't think so, other than to kindly thank them for the email. As much as I liked Roger I think I'm more compatible with other companies I have had interviews with.
Ology Media - This is the place where I had the unexpected Skype interview as the Marketing Director had to work from home that day. This was also the guy that praised my website. The interview went really well (at least I thought so) but.... I haven't heard from him. And now I'm crazy paranoid that my post-interview tweeting ruined my chances. I have a habit of making up my own hashtags, it's something I do for fun. This time it was #TheCameraDoesntAddWeight followed by #ThatsWhatYouLookLike. I was blatantly (not so "blatantly" to others perhaps) referring to myself. Because I always tend to stare at that little window of myself thinking "Jeez, you look like a moron" when video skyping. Let this be a hashtag lesson. A painful one.
UrbanDaddy - One of my favourites. A tone of voice and swag about them similar to my own. Interview went okey, not brilliantly. Especially when I hadn't had the time to do my research properly. So as I was sitting there, I was praying that Kristin, the Talent Recruiter (funny title), wouldn't ask me about UrbanDaddy's competitors. She did. I died. Haven't heard from her. I don't think I'll be getting a new daddy this year. Fair enough.
I had another three people to get back to to schedule interviews. One which I had completely forgotten about and found when looking through my inbox at the end of the week. Based on that, I clearly wasn't that interested. You don't forget something that you want. As for the remaining two, I emailed one of them based on the chances of them being able to accommodate my need for a visa. He didn't reply. Ouch.
I've got more to tell you but I've decided to split it into two posts bearing in mind the kind request from Niklas to not overwhelm you with text. (I'm such a good friend.) Anyhow, that's week numero uno for you!
