1. The University of Phoenix (my second time seeing them for a different position).
*Pros--Free tuition, health care, benefits, nice starting salary, opportunity for growth
*Cons--Very far from my house :(
2. Fortune5 Marketing
*Pros--They called me back for second round already
*Cons--Hiring manager was totally creepy and douchy :(
3. Yelp.Com
*Pros--Great work environment, great company culture, ok starting salary, benefits, great company
*Cons--SALES, SALES, SALES....not exactly my forte.
I really would like to work for the University of Phoenix, I think at this point it could be an ideal job because it would get my foot in the door with a big company with great benefits and I could get my masters for free!!! Also, they have offices all over the country so the chances to move around are endless :)
After coming home from all these interviews I felt so stressed and un-happy with my performance. I really bombed the Yelp.Com interview, the men were so young and intimidating and I don't think they liked my "mock sales presentation." Ugh. I ate an apple and climbed into bed to listen to Radiohead. Nothing makes me feel better. Even though the lyrics are so sad this song makes me feel so good, it's one of my favorites. Enjoy!
Been thinking about you
Your record's a hit
Your eyes are on my wall
Your teeth are over there
But I'm still no one
And you're my star
What do you care?
Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When the other men are far far better
All the things you've got
All the things you need
Who bought you cigarettes
Who bribed the company to come and see you honey?
I've been thinking about you
So how can you sleep
These people aren't your friends
They're paid to kiss your feet
They don't know what I know
And why should you care
When I'm not there
Been thinking about you
And there's no rest
Should I still love you
Still see you in bed
But I'm playing with myself
What do you care?
When I'm not there.
All the things you've got
That you'll never need
All the things you've got
I've bled and I'd bleed to please you
... honey

I had the same situation when I was working at ASU. Very far(and then parking fees) but free tuition! It was a pretty nice deal.
ReplyDeleteI've known of your predilection for Radiohead for some time... but Broken Social Scene? I was going to comment on your status on facebook but decided to write here since... well, I'm going to link to my blog and I didn't want to write a long comment on your status.
It's my first entry (the one that reads like David Foster Wallace?) in which I discuss ever so briefly "Anthems" and post the video .

I just left you an incredibly long comment, it's ridiculous. Also, yeah, Broken Social Scene :)
ReplyDeleteI replied to your post with a long meandering comment. I have no idea if it's coherent. It's hard writing so much in these little comment windows although I really appreciated it. I will try to post things that inspire those long comments in the future.
ReplyDeleteAlso, have you heard the new Broken Social Scene? It's been out for a couple of months. It released on the same day as Together (The New Pornographers release). May 4th (yes, I remember the date)was a really great music day.
