Deb Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I'm begging for all the happy thoughts we can get folks! Bruce got a call from a satellite tv company today asking him to come in next Tuesday for a third interview. He has already had two interviews with the HR people, and the third and deciding interview is with the project manager. It's a good sign that he's in the final cut. The position is for a call center team manager. The company has been around for awhile, but this call center is fairly new and they're still getting their feet under them. They like the fact that Bruce has around 15 years of call center management experience in addition to being very technical about satellite systems. His dad's business was installing satellite dishes back when they were the size of space ships so he literally cut his teeth on them. And then he had 12 years in the Army Signal Corp using.......you guessed it........satellite communication systems. Oh, and for the past 10 years, he's done call center management for Comcast so he knows the cable tv side of it too. So you can see how this job would be the perfect fit for everyone concerned. Bruce would love to get in on the ground floor of developing and growing a new call center and he's such a techy that he'd be very happy with this company. At this point, it's going to be tough competition since most of the applicants are in-house so Bruce will have to stand out from the applicants that the project manager already knows personally. But we're very, very optimistic that this may be "the one". Keep your fingers crossed, say a prayer, light a candle, send positive energy..........whatever happy thoughts you can send our way would be greatly appreciated.

New Day Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Everything crossed here! Please keep us updated. We went through the same thing with DH's job last fall. He got it and it is the best job he's ever had! Wishing the same for Bruce! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lubbock TX Chick Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 I will send my positive thoughts too. My own DH was out of work for 2 years, but eventually he was able to get the opportunity of a lifetime, and he's been in his dream job now for about 18 months. Hoping the same for you!

Peggi Posted June 28, 2008 Share Posted June 28, 2008 Prayers and positive thoughts are being sent your way in great waves. But be sure and tell Bruce to take care and not get stressed over it, as a southern gentleman he can be laid back and still make a great impression.

Muriel Posted July 2, 2008 Share Posted July 2, 2008 I had all my fingers and toes crossed, but am now wondering how it went? when will he hear back? can i uncross everything yet? It would make packing easier, but I've still got a couple weeks to do it, so not too worried about uncrossing yet if it is still needed!

Deb Posted July 3, 2008 Author Share Posted July 3, 2008 I had all my fingers and toes crossed, but am now wondering how it went? when will he hear back? The interview went well. There were three managers, not just one so they were serious about considering Bruce. They didn't have a time frame for when they'd let him know if he got the job or not. They said there were some internal changes they had to take care of before they would make the final decision, so now we're just waiting to see if he beat out the internal competition or not. We're doing a lot of nail biting right now as we wait. Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 Well that is a Great sign! I am hoping very much that he gets this job! I am so happy they are making the changes BEFORE they hire him too. That always makes things smoother. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deb Posted July 4, 2008 Author Share Posted July 4, 2008 Funny update on the whole thing..........today Bruce got a call from another division of the same company asking him to interview for a different position. They didn't know about the first one coz this is the corporate office and the first one is the regional office. So one way or another, I think he's going to go to end up working for them!! If the two HR departments end up arm-wrestling to see who gets him, I wanna get a copy of it on video! Deb Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Minis On The Edge Posted July 4, 2008 Share Posted July 4, 2008 Sounds like Bruce is a Wanted Man :monkeydance: I hope he gets the job that will be less stress but just what he wants (and better money in the long/short run). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
justmesue Posted July 5, 2008 Share Posted July 5, 2008 All my best wishes, and prayers for you all. We've been in this situation, it a hard fix to be in. Good Luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
