Hey guys, you all know how Ive been struggling to find a job lately, well I am currently in the middle of a 5 day interview for a job at a church in Georgia. They flew myself and my fiance out on wednesday and we are leaving sunday. Its been really cool, they have had us out for meals and shown us the area. The people are really cool but their southern accents are annoying me to the very core.
They keep talking to me as if I already have the job... They say things like "when you get here you're gonna be doing this" and Im applying to be their Worship Director, and they took me to the Worship Director office, opened the door and said "This is your office". Pretty good sign yeah? They are also taking us around to look at rental properties today and they told me last night "Someone we know is renting out their house because they just moved to Florida, its going to be available to move in next saturday if you guys want it"
All really good signs, it all comes down to how well sunday morning goes and if they are pleased or not with my work, but from the interviews and the practices in the last few days, its looking very good.

That's awesome! I hope that things go the way you want and you get the job. I know you've been trying for quite a while to find something.

It is so funny how interviewers do that. They always say things like "when you start here" or "when you go to training." Seems crazy that they can make up their mind so quick about someone. It does make the rest of the interview less stressful though. Congrats! You will get used to the accents. I moved from California to Texas when I was 6 and thought the same thing and eventually you don't notice them anymore.

Not to pour cold water on anything, but they'll say stuff like that to everybody in some cases. Especially if they're full time HR people. Just to keep your hopes up...
Good luck, and you'll grow to like the southern drawl. But don't tell anyone you find it annoying. Because we'll take that personally.

Well, today has been a busy day. The head of the search team took me and my fiance around to different apartments and houses for rent, and we found a place that is just beautiful. Its owned by friends of my potential boss. It is on 14 acres of land, so the search team guy totally flipped out because he is a deer hunter and he said that as soon as I move in he will take me out hunting.
this is looking better and better every minute Im here...
