ANOTHER interview!

The fabulous view from the yahoo! 7 offices. Oh hey, Sydney Bridge. My future employer? Perhaps!

So yesterday my colleague and awesome account manager at Sherborne, Jason, recommended that I connect with someone on LinkedIn. So I did, and now I have another job offer on my hands! I connected with one of the managers of a recruitment agency called xpand and expressed my interest in moving into the digital sphere. Justin rang me an hour later, and an hour after that I had an interview. Luckily, their offices are just down the road from Sherborne, so I was able to be there and back within the hour. The interview went fantastically, and Justin wanted to set me up as a recruiter with their biggest client--yahoo!7. Jess, who is the internal recrutier through xpand over there, has over 20 roles on at the moment and is in desperate need of help. Therefore, my timing was actually impeccable (they had just talked about the need for more staff at a meeting last Friday).

Justin set up a 2nd interview between Jess and I for that very arvo. We ended up rescheduling for the next day (Friday) but had a great meeting. As you can see, the views from the yahoo!7 offices are fantastic! It's located at Walsh Bay and overlooks the Sydney Bridge. You can actually see the tiny little climbers as they make the ascent! The yahoo!7 offices were awesome. The oldest person working there is 45; everyone is young and pretty hip loooking..company culture=check. Jess says there are sweet social events, conferences and staff happenings all the time. As it was Friday, everyone was dressed casually (and from what I gathered at the interview, casual Friday is every day). Nobody looked stressed, though I know it's a very high-pressure environment. Plus, I get to hang out with people like the Creative Director of yahoo! Australia and ring up dudes like the editor of Rolling Stone Australia for reference checks. Uh.....badass! Jess and I had a really good chat, and we both agreed that I'd be a good fit there. She's going to have a follow up with Justin, but prettttty much I can start whenever I want. Awe-some.

However, I'm going to see through the rest of my interviews next week (Lavolta and ICUR) and hopefully make a decision by Friday. Fingers crossed that I have an awesome new job in one week's time!
