Alright, I submitted my criminal background check and was awaiting the results...which I got today! Obviously, I didn't think it would come back negative - I didn't think I got booked for selling drugs :)
I checked my e-mail today and it said Company X would like to give me a "General Offer of Employment!" What does this mean? Essentially they have no spots open for their April positions but when the August positions open up I will be placed :) This is a good thing - don't worry! I had requested (for personal reasons) to leave in August and when the interviewer and I had discussed this she said this wasn't a problem. Since they don't open their August positions yet, they can't offer placements but the successful candidates are put in a waiting list for when their time comes up. The interviewer also said that I'll have a better chance of being placed where I want because there is enough time to plan it! So there it is - unless something terrible goes wrong I have the job! I just have to wait for the placement to be offered and I'm off! Yay!!! That's wasn't so bad...
The e-mail also said I am free to pursue other job applications if I so choose in the meantime as no official contract has been sent out and signed. This is good because I also have an interview for JET program coming up in a couple weeks. From what I've seen online the interview can be brutal! It would be nice, however, to have options and to also see what their interview process is like. I like the company I applied for but would like to weigh my options so I make the right decision :)
We'll see how JET goes - if it's really as brutal as they say it is.
