So I’ve been going through the interview process for a job I really want, and I’ve made it to the final round after taking an edit test, interviewing with the hiring editors—and then the final with the editor-in-chief.  I’m so close and this job would combine so much of my skill set and interests.  I met with the editor-in-chief last Thursday and he told me they would be making the decision Friday.  I waited and waited, and soon Friday came and went with no word!  Now I have to wait until Monday!  I figure it’s one of three things:

A. They hired somebody else and have left me in the dark about that.

B. The decision making process is taking longer than expected.

C. They made a decision, but HR has yet to create the offer letter if they are indeed the messenger.

The wait is driving me CRAZY!  I thought yesterday might be my last day of unemployment so I did something I don’t usually do.  I sat around and watched TV and napped all day, waiting anxiously for a call, but NOTHING.  My friend told me not to worry because I would have heard something either way.  I’m really hoping this is the end of being unemployed.  I miss working hard.  If I don’t get it, back to the interview and applying game.  Wish me luck!
