ria_oaksI HAVE AN INTERVIEW! WOOOO!
It's been a month since I had an interview! Well, except for the informational interview I had with someone at Tourism Vancouver, who is a friend of my former colleague and who agreed to talk to me about the company and future opportunities. But I haven't had a proper job interview since that job I wanted so much last month. So yaaaaaay! And here's irony for you... I was supposed to go to Seattle this week with mom, but I discovered my passport was missing while I was in the middle of booking it on Saturday night, so we can't go (not enough time to get a new passport). Which sucked, but then today I get an email asking for an interview on Wednesday and I would have been in Seattle if that trip had worked out. So. Silver lining, much? I swear, this happened to me last time a vacation got cancelled - back in August when I hurt my foot and couldn't go on that hiking trip, I ended up getting last-minute work from my publisher that took one week and made me as much money as I'd make in one month at, say, the job I'm applying to now... ^^;
Anyway, it's for a 'product assistant' position at a small company (which is actually located a block from my travel school, as it turns out) that sells 'ski and sun destinations' (namely a few BC and USA ski locations, and a few islands near the Caribbean). They only sell 6-7 destinations, so that's nice.. less to learn. o.o I wouldn't be doing reservations anyway, except for supporting the reservations team sometimes. Evidently I'd be doing 'competitive analysis' (seeing what products the competition has), and various data entry/other admin stuff. So yeah, fairly entry level (and low paying), but wtf ever I don't care. It's actually perfect for me, because it'd give me a chance to learn and work my way up...
