Ok I can't wait to share this until I get a written offer. I just got a call from the job I interviewed with saying they want to hire me!!!! <)
They have to submit to some other offices for official approval (such as from the equal opportunity office), but I spoke with the Dean of the college and he said they unanimously wanted to pick me, so unless something crazy happens I'm actually going to have a real job!
You guys. At the end of all this craziness, I'm going to end up with better benefits, a slight raise, and a probably more interesting job than what I had before I got laid off. Oh, and I'll be making around 17k more than I do in my current temp job so, yay. I might be able to do stuff and buy things again!
I hope nothing falls through. It can't fall through, right? lol.
Thanks for all the advice and support and listening to me whine for the last 8 months!
Congrats, I'm so happy for you!!! I was paranoid about my job offer until I had an official, signed offer letter, but I'm sure it will be fine! I hope everything comes through quickly!
Ahhhhh congratulations! That is so awesome. I can totally understand being hesitant to announce/celebrate unless it's a done deal, but omg omg omg yay! And even though it's only a small raise over what you had been making, a $17k raise over what you're making now is going to feel like it's raining money. That is so, so awesome.
