An opportunity has come my way. Wish me luck guys [Update - nailed it]

Best of luck to you, vulrath.

I hope the entire process exceeds your wildest hopes, and that it opens an entirely new chapter (of happiness) for you professionally.

This interview went really well, I think. I'm expecting to hear back by the end of the week.

Outstanding.

I got my good news a couple weeks ago. Hopefully you get the same shortly.

Good luck, Vulrath! Thoughts and prayers.

Like Rogue, I also got good news yesterday. I’m about to start filling out paperwork online. Good things come in clusters, right?

Finally got a call back. Moving onto Round 2 soon.

(I'm really beyond happy for the success I'm seeing with everyone here. I wish nothing for every one of you folks but the best you can get.)

Round 2 has come and gone. Let's just say that this weekend is starting on a high note.

This started in May, and is still up in the air? You would think they'd want someone actually working by now, or by two months ago.

Not up in the air any more. What I was alluding to is that they told me to expect an offer next week.

I found out about the job before they posted it. Thus I had to wait for the idiot who I'm replacing to vacate and for them to post the job before I could apply for it.

Once the process got started, it wrapped up pretty quickly.

Offer extended and accepted. The money is...significantly more than I expected. My first day is "technically" Labor Day, but they're closed that day, so it'll be the 6th.

Bonus: It's only 3.9 miles from my house. This is like a raise in itself because of fuel prices.
