So, just to recap yesterday's news, I have a phone interview today with Google, at noon, Pacific time, for an AdWords Representative job.
I'm really, really, *REALLY* nervous, and I'm not sure why.
It probably has a lot to do with the fact that I would love to work at Google. It just strikes me as a pretty nifty company, with cool people. But then there's also the desperation of getting out of the job I currently have, which is not only a dead end, but provides no benefits whatsoever. And since I have recently discovered that the only way I can get health insurance is to get a job that provides it (I have some previous health problems that made the insurance company go "No way!"). Being sick this week with something weird didn't help either. I *need* to get out of here.
And I'm writing this at work too. ^^
So this phone interview becomes even more important. It's a chance at something more stable, so I can stop worrying about how much my parents support me. And stability can help me pursue other dreams, including my acting and singing.
But the nerves come back again, because if they do offer me a job (they won't in a phone interview, but I'm still worried), I can't start for about 3 weeks from next Monday, since I need two weeks notice from work, and then the week after that is E3, which I already have tickets and hotel rooms for, and I don't want to miss that. So again, the hoping that it won't be a problem, and won't make them say "Oh, that long? Oh, well, we can't hire you then." *cringe*
So, if there are any readers out there who work for Google, and can reassure me that your HR department doesn't breathe flame, and isn't out to get me, I'd welcome the reassurance. ^^
But in the good Google-y news department, I got Gmail, from Google. I won't post the address, the spam is getting insane, but I'll let every know who needs to know the new address. My [email protected] address still works, so if you need to contact me, please feel free.
Whoo! That's a rant. I'm going to go do actual work now.
