I have just begun my career search, and I have several
interviews scheduled for the next two weeks.
This is my first interview, so I do not yet have any
job offers.
I am a member of the alumni association from
my alma mater.
At one of our monthly meetings, another alumnus
mentioned that he was looking for a person with my skills.
After I briefly explained my background to him, we
scheduled a formal interview.
Two weeks later I started working there.
Yes, there are opportunities for advancement, but only for
those who can spend 50% of their time traveling.
My family and community commitments are too
important to me to spend that much time away.
That is one of the reasons why a position with your
company is so appealing to me.
The company I was working for had some financial
difficulties.
They were forced to lay off some of the employees, and
they started with those who had been there the least
amount of time.
I was one of the ones they let go, since I had been
there only a few months.
Before I left my former employer, I carefully laid
out a plan for my career search.
I have several prospects, including a second
interview with another company later this week.
Yes, we have discussed the possibility of my leaving
the company.
He is not happy to see me go, but he realizes that there
are no real opportunities for advancement for me
in his business.
He will gladly discuss my qualifications and job
performance with you.
I am currently employed, however, I am looking for a
position in which I can use my creativity to help the
company achieve its goals.
When I first began working with my current employer,
the office was just a ten-mile commute from my home.
The company expanded rapidly, and had to move into a larger
facility.
Unfortunately, the new location is more than fifty
miles away, making my commute more than an hour and
fifteen minutes each way.
