I just got home. Had to go grocery shopping and then stopped at Arby's and got a Sante Salad. It's very good. I got low cal dressing on it. I never knew they had these.
Well - today's interview didn't go as well. I only met with the one Attorney that didn't meet me. He was younger and more serious and business like. My DH states that from some of his comments - he sounds like an #@@hole. My intuition sensed that he didn't care for me. He only asked me about my last position and not previous jobs. He also made some comment that we aren't looking for someone that can type 300 words per minute.....as law practice has changed over the years. What the heck was that supposed to mean.....he doesn't like me cuz I typed over the average 60 WPM?? He also made some comments like he's the one always giving the secretary something 5 minutes before it's time to go home and asked if I was flexible. What does this mean?? I don't want to stay over every other day. Anyway, that's all of the specific comments I can think of.
The funny thing is that when I arrived, I told the receptionist (with whom I've already become friendly with) that I was really nervous today and she said I should have been nervous the other day, not today. She said Ed (the atty from today) was cool. I think maybe Ed is favoring the other person they interviewed and Jay is favoring me. They said that Jay needed to interview the one that Ed met with the other day (when Jay couldn't make the appt) and then they would decide. I do get the feeling the Office Manager liked me.....but we'll see.
Also, after talking to the atty today, he made this job sound like a pretty big headache and made it sound so busy that you're overwhelmed all of the time. Not sure I can handle that.
Oh and here's the kicker. The last secretary (that just left to move back to Florida) came to them with a reference letter that said she was a "one in a lifetime employee"....blah...blah blah...and that when they interviewed her, they actually liked the other interviewee's personality better, but hired the one with the great reference letter based on that......I don't have a reference letter!!
Anne - I have seen The Devil Wears Prada.....and I lost it at that movie. Some of the stuff Meryl Streep did in the office were just like my old boss. I was howling.
Amber - What kind of law do you specialize in? So what do you think of someone with all of her Secretarial/ Adm Asst (or whatever they call it) experience in the medical field doing in a legal office. Is there a lot of terminology to learn. The Attys in this firm are Corporate, Real Estate, Estate, and Bankruptcy, and I think maybe Taxes...can't remember. I would be working for the Real Estate/Corporate ones. Do you think I'd do good. Secretarial work is secretarial work, right? I just come with medical terminology....or am I wrong?

The grandkids didn't notice at first.
