I applied several weeks ago for a position in my building, different department. It would be a promotion.

Last week I went through a roller-coaster ride of emotions.

Tuesday- I called human resources. What happened to my application?  I haven't heard anything. Answer- you didn't qualify. You will receive a letter in the mail.

Wednesday- I receive an e-mail to meet with that department's director. I thought it was about some computer work we have been doing.  NO!  She tells me the case managers will be contacting me for an interview. One of the managers offers an interview in 1/2 hour, or one on Thursday morning. I take the Thursday. My heart is racing. I can't believe this........

Thursday- I interview at 8:30 AM. At about 1PM I am offered the job. I shriek, jump up and down, hug the manager. I accept!!!!! The whole staff is waiting outside the meeting room. They already have been told that I am the one they are going to offer the job to, clapping, words of encouragement, hugs again. ( I have known all these people for the 8 years on my side of the building).

This is unbelievable. They know me, know my work, questioned HR about me "not being qualified" and really advocated for me!   I believe it was divine intervention
I start the new job  Monday Aug 2

Doing the happy dance

Wonderful news! I almost go to join you, but the hiring freeze did me in!  After all the qualifying and interviewing, and offering. So I am glad to hear that didn't get in the way of your new job! Congrats!
