I asked how many applicants were being interviewed and all they would tell me was "more than three"..... they will narrow it down to the top three and those will get a second interview.

Don't mind me, I was being a smart (_I_).

Took me a while to figure out what you meant. Mannn I must be tired.

Or me!

My interview went well. I feel I had strong answers and was well received. Wednesday night, I found a typo in the resume I handed out.

I have no idea how it happened, it wasn't on the one I sent in originally, and wasn't on the file I had on my thumb drive. At least it wasn't a misspelled word or grammatical error - it was two random digits in the middle of a sentence.

I wouldn't be as crushed about it if I hadn't made a big deal over being "detailed oriented."

blame it on the cat.... LOL... deep breath... it is what it is...

OH did you send a thank you for the interview card?

@dsqard Same advice as wisher got applies to you too, read through it before the interview.

Wisher, nice to hear it went well. With any luck they won't look at the "updated" resume. Any idea how many they're interviewing?

I have my first day on Monday, it will be interesting to see what my job really will be.

Grats in advance Wisher! You know nobody is going to ask about those 2 digits, but if they do, just tell them it was a test to see if they really read your resume.

Best O' luck to you too D squared! Hope it works out for you. Be sure to let us know what your real job is felix! I know I'm curious...

One of our local 8th graders just became co-champion of the National Spelling Bee.
They just ran out of words and there were still 2 kids standing. He's from a St. Louis suburb. The girl is from a Kansas City suburb.
This is the second year in a row ending in a tie. Before last year it had been more than 50 years without a single winner.

Some of the words they spelled:
Bruxellois
Pyrrhuloxia


The girl's last word was "scherenschnitte". Her sister won in 2009 on the word "Laodicean".
His final word was "nunatak", an Inuit term for an exposed, rocky geographic element amid an ice field or glacier.
The boy finished third last year because he missed the word "Kierkegaardian".

WOW!!!
