Wish me luck! :)
« on: May 06, 2010, 08:09:08 pm »
Tomorrow at 2pm, I have a job interview!  Ironically, it's with Memorial Herman Hospital System.  I stayed in Memoral Herman Downtown after my surgery (and my 2nd stay).  This is a satellite building of theirs, but same system.  Should I call in my surgeon for a reference? ;)

Know next to nothing about the job, but a friend recommended me and gave my resume.  Officially, the job isn't "open" yet, but the hiring manager wants to talk to me before it does get opened.  Hopefully, that's a good sign.

Btw, why has the board been so dead lately?

Regards,
Brian

LUCK!!!!!
It's a good sign that you are to be interviewed before the job officially opens.
I don't know why the board has been so dead lately.
I keep mentioning how excited I am about my facial reanimation surgery next week, and I know there a quite a few  AN surgeries coming up.
Luck,

All the best, Pooter  :-*

Hope you get the job  ;D

Before I read your post, I was thinking we were all going to be wishing you luck on that annual MRI (hint, hint).  BTW, did you schedule that yet?

The Forum has been dead lately; not sure why.
