    This will NOT be that program. "

    Thanks guys! The interview went well. I'd say that I effectively 'nailed it'. I have one more interview today with the recruiting team, but I met all the same people yesterday (they attended my presentation).

    They have one more external candidate to interview later this week, but I seriously cannot imagine what they would have to offer that would knock me out of the running. We'll see. The HR people yesterday were talking to me as if the position were already mine at the end of the day. They were raving about my presentation, too. We talked about transitioning from my current position, what would be my first priorities, etc. I'll know officially early next week.

    Emily - Vet school is still on my radar, but this is to hold me over. When this job popped up on our system, I just HAD to apply. It's as if it was written for me! Maybe I'll love it so much that I'll want to build a career here and let the vet school idea dissipate...but at this point, it's still in the works.

    Shefly - you were a huge help! If I get the job, dinner (or beer ) is on me when I come to New England.

    Waiting can be the hardest part!
    Each day is a gift, that's why it is called the present.

    Ugh, no...not yet! I'm going insane!!

    I had to do one more interview last week with a woman who was here for a conference (normally she is at our Tx facility). I found out then that there are now just two of us in the running. Myself and one external candidate with just about identical qualifications as me. When I sent my thankyou to the Tx woman, she told me that I had her vote, so we'll see.

    The person who would be my boss and the VP of HR had a meeting about it all yesterday afternoon. But still no word.

    Frankly, I'm losing faith that I'm going to get it. I feel like the longer it takes, the less likely it'll be me. I guess I figure if they wanted me, they'd tell me immediately.

    I am not known for my patience. AT ALL.

    OMG - as soon as I hit 'submit' on my above post, I got a meeting request from the woman who would be my boss (if I get the job). The meeting is tomorrow for 30 min and it's titled "College Program Manager position check-in". WTF does THAT mean?

    When you apply for an internal job, is the offer process different or are they yanking my chain? I'm so confused!!! I really wish that I didn't want this job so badly - this would be a lot easier to take if I still actually liked my current job!

    I don't think I'll sleep much tonight.
