Request of the famous CTN Vibes!

Post by knights68 » February 3rd, 2012, 2:13 pm

Awaiting anxiously by the phone for this awesome job I interviewed for last week and this week (@ Lenovo!).
Did a phone interview last week with the Dept Mgr and then a phone interview with the other Mgr. Then a couple of days ago I went to a face-to-face interview... not with two, not with three, but with 5 people (plus another telephone interview with a mgmt member in Canada).

Waiting to hear at any time now as to whether I got it or not. Please vibe for me, I got a lot riding on this year and this job is the first of many big plans I hope to achieve!!!

:pray: :pray: Come om CTN mojo, work that magic!! :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray: :pray:

I swear I'm getting CHILLS with all these great bits of news. Sure wish Scotty or somebody could beam me up to wherever all of you are so I could give great big hugs and pop some champagne corks!!!!

Keep the faith all of you who are still waiting. See? Good things still really do happen. And when they do it's like a stroke of lightening!

Hooray and love, Ima
