May I humbly ask for some magic TCS job vibes? I have been out of work and looking for way too long, and on Monday a friend emailed me a listing of jobs at his company, 2 of which looked like I could do. So yesterday, I printed off their application, filled it out and brought that and my cover letter, resume and references to the place, and after the HR person looked at my stuff and I took a very simple math test, I got an interview right then! I thought it went well, especially considering I wasn't in interview mode. (maybe that helped actually, I didn't have time to get all nervous about it!
)

Well I had just logged onto hereabout a half hour ago and was going to request some vibes when I got a call saying the department manager wanted to interview me! Woo-hoo! So I've got my 2nd interview at 3:30 today. I will try not to sweat like crazy on the way, it's going to be in the 90s in LB so it's bound to be close to 100 where this place is (further inland). But wow! It's further than I had wanted to drive, but hey, I need a job, and it sounds like a decent place to work. Wish me luck!

Oh, good luck!! I hope it works out, I know how frustrating it is to have to job search for a long time.

Good luck with the interview. The fact that they called you back quickly sounds very positive.

Let us know what happens!

Thank you for all the good luck vibes, everyone!


I think the interview went well, it was with the department manager and the department lead, or something like that. I am feeling a bit negative about it though because I think they think I'm not assertive enough. I mean, my answer to the question of 'can I be assertive if needed' was pretty non-assertive. Caught me off guard a bit I guess, but I tried to sound convincing. I mean, if it's between getting a carrier to make things right or losing a customer, then of course I'd be assertive and make it right! Anyway, we'll see. I should hear back by the end of next week. I am still hopeful. And sending out my thank you letter today. So keep those vibes coming!!

I am sure you were assertive enough, we always second guess ourselves during interviews

Fingers crossed! I've been there too and it's awful, waiting to hear and knowing you need it so badly. Lots of vibes going out to you.
