DAY 67 - WHERE AM I REALLY?

As you know through my blog posts, I have been interviewing at a candy company out of state. And as hard as I tried not to like it.. I am really warming up to this opportunity.
I am actually getting excited about the future ... of course if it works out.

My executive recruiter has been pretty cryptic about where I am in this process. I was not sure if I was the only one or everyone proceeded ahead.. it was kind of confusing. Yesterday, she communicated that I was the final candidate and that the last interview would be with the VP, Human Resources.

I was excited to talk to the HR VP as I like to know if there is a competent person in the role. I was told that this interview was a formality but the VP had a recruiting background. It was reassuring to know that the team thought I was the best fit, but it is kind of nerve racking that I could potentially embarrass myself by bombing this discussion.

So to avoid that situation, I over prepared for our interview. I had my resume, my skill sheet, the success stories etc... I was ready to impress. It was refreshing when she called and said that she wanted to answer my questions and concerns. We had a nice talk and we clicked. It was so easy and comfortable... wow I can't believe it.

Realization
If you were to ask me which position I would end up going for - I would never have imagined that I would be seriously considering a move and going to work at a candy company. I guess I don't know nothing!! There is still a few more hurdles but I think this may be the one. Stay tuned.
