I just received a call about the Account Manager role I’ve been waiting on. I am (quote) their “preferred candidate”! Top Man made the call and he wants me to go in tomorrow for a test (which sounds ominous but is just proofreading or some such). He also wants me to look after the office as it’s their staff lunch and they need a person to cover the phones and answer the door. I wonder if this will be part of the test and they’ll get someone to call me with some challenge to sort out?! Who knows, but it’s a sign they see me as a trusty, honesty person if they’re going to leave me alone in the office… wahahahahaaaaa… ahem.

Top Man asked me to be in at 11.30am at the latest, and earlier if I can. I’m going to call and find out what time their day starts so I can go in as early as possible  – I want to be all savvied up on where all the information I’ll need is if I am asked questions about client projects, I want to know who is expecting phone calls or deliveries and whether they want me to chase up non-deliveries. I just want to make sure I have enough time so I’m not left sounding stumped or unable to help while everyone is out!

Anyway, I’m hoping this all means I’ve got the job in the bag and the rest is just checking that I’m sane and will ‘fit’ with their team. I’m so nearly there but I’m trying not to get my hopes up too much just in case it’s too good to be true.

*EDIT: Just called back, I’m going in at 8:30am, and all I’m thinking right now is EEK! AGH! and SQEEEE!
