Well, THIS was unexpected

[annathepiper]

I sent out a small handful of resumes over the last few days, trying to send out early feelers for job leads before my contract expires at the end of this month.

This morning, I got a nibble back on one of them. The recruiter wants to arrange a phone call with her team's lead SDET. Eek. O.O The difficulty with this is that, well, I have to WORK during the day, and it's a bit of a tricky proposition to juggle that with a job interview.

I've asked her if they can do a 9-9:30am or 4:30pm-5 timeframe, so I can adjust my schedule accordingly. Here's hoping they can do that--I'm not sure if I can really do anything besides that, what with not having my own phone during the day and not really easily being able to get home across the lake without a car.

MARF!

You can borrow my cell if you want.

Thanks babe--I'll see if it comes to that. I want to avoid having an interview during my work hours if I can, hence asking the recruiter if they can do a 9-9:30 or 4:30-5 time frame... if I do that, then I can adjust my hours to fit that and either stay ridiculously late or come in ridiculously early. We'll see what happens!

I don't have a phone to offer, but I'm available for emergency chauffeuring mid-day if need be.

We'll see if it comes to that--thanks! I'm waiting back to see if I can get a 9-9:30 or 4:30-5 time frame. If I can do that, I can arrange my work hours to stay ridiculously late or come in ridiculously early. As long as I am in the lab during the core hours of 10-4, I should be good.

In the past I've used empty conference rooms for that kind of call. My supervisors have always been understanding that I needed to line up something new when the current contract expired. As long as it's done discreetly and I work in the time, there's not been a problem.

I would have pursued this option, perhaps, if it had become necessary. :) Happily I was able to get a timeframe early enough that I can do the phone interview from home and then zoom into work after! I've warned my team that I'll be staying late that day as a result. Thanks for the tip, though!
