Update on the job...

[hellzkitten]

They called my references on Thursday & called me on Friday.  The good news is that they want to offer me the job.  The bad news is that the state is requiring a reference from a supervisor (apparently HR is not enough).  Unfortunately, my previous supervisor (my predecessor) is deceased.  We are hoping that will help give me "special circumstances" so I don't have to use a reference from 8-10 years ago (I will not be using my current boss for obvious reasons).

If everything goes through, I should have a job offer within the next 2 weeks & hopefully starting at the beginning of April.  It all seems surreal & since it is not at all concrete yet, I am so nervous.

Yay!! Congrats lady!

That is annoying that they want to your supervisor, hopefully you can work out.

Passed background check... now just waiting for them to approve the "payroll justification." Could be days, a week or a month (from what I've heard). PLEASE, don't be a month =(

I think I missed what type of work you'll be doing! Fingers crossed everything goes quickly!

No idea what it exactly entails...but since it is a large increase from my current salary, they said it could take a bit longer than usual.  I think basically it is the state OK'ing the amount of $ they want to offer me.
