After four interviews with LM for a sales position, the truth came out. "Well, the truth is sir, my husband and I will be moving to Hawaii in March." I left out the part that I knew this all along. "Unfortunately, we will not be able to continue this process anymore," he explained. "But I think you are a great candidate, so I'll let Sally (my recruiter) know that you may be interested in temp positions." I didn't think anything of it and never expected anything to come of it. I continued my doomed path of interviewing. I came clean to NMFN as well along with Enterprise.
Ironically, during an interview with Enterprise, Sally called and left me a voicemail. As I pulled my stilettos off my feet and made my way to the car, I listened to the message. "Hi, this is Sally from LM. I was calling because I have a temporary position available and I think you might be interested. Just give me a call back if you are. Thanks, bye." Someone is looking out for me that's for sure. It sounded perfect, ideal for my situation.
I called her back on Monday and she explained that she liked me a lot and was disappointed when the sales job didn't work out. However, she needed someone to help her out and thought I would be perfect for the job. Not only will I get the two days off to head to SC for my graduation in August, but I will get the 18 days in September when Hubby comes home. Could I ask for a more perfect situation? On top of that, she knows my situation so there are no secrets and there will be no surprise two week notices.
So, finally, I have a job at LM! I start Monday and I could not be happier!!
