Anyone following my exploits over in the Art and Graphics forums knows that I've been struggling to get a full-time job in my field, Graphic Design, for the past few months. Well, I've had interviews with two companies, as well as follow up interviews with those companies, and today, I spent the morning working with one of the firms.

I now know that it is literally down to me and one other person for the job I want, so, who's it going to be? me or him/her?

Thought I'd do a poll, just for fun, and help relieve my anxiety. I will know on Tuesday if I got the job, and I'll be sure to let y'all know.

read either of these forums for some background, then vote accordingly.

Best of luck! I'd sacrifice a virgin in an arcane ritual to improve your chances, but there aren't any around here.

LOL, promise? hehe

I'm going nuts, I really want this job, and I'm totally going insane. OF course, the practical side of me has also been scouring the want ads for other opportunities, just in case.

I'm going to see Lord of the Rings tomorrow night, and I might see it a few more times just to keep my mind off of this until tuesday!

thanks for the support guys! keep your fingers crossed

!UPDATE!

It's tuesday, and I just got off the phone with the principle I interviewed with last week. Um, I'm going into the office at 2pm today for a "chat," so, I'm thinking this is a good thing, but I'm not holding my breath.

wish me luck!

ARRRRRRRR crazy!
