Just wanted to update...I got the job! I start next week. The folks at OAK are busy and I called (again). Michelle was more than gracious to me and didnt seem annoyed one bit. She officially welcomed me to the SW family. I know I will have to work the holiday, but I am so excited. I now get to be one of those happy folks at SW. Thanks for all the help with this blog. It sure helps to get answers while waiting for the process to be complete! :) :) 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 🙂 ...

The lady that answered the phone said it would take 10-15 days. I am anxious to know if I was selected for a 1-1. I've been checking my emails more than usual because of what we were told. There is another group interview next week. I am wondering if I should go to that to talk to a recruiter. If they really need people, why does it take so long? Shouldn't they know who they want to talk to in depth sooner that 2 weeks? ... View more
