Since my last post the job search has continued at a somewhat frenetic pace. I have had a second interview with one company, and have scheduled another interview on Monday the 18th.

My interview yesterday followed yet another personality test. This one consisted of 131 questions of the standard type. After completing the test, I was interviewed by the head of accounting who also handles the HR duties. Since I wasn't aware that there would be an interview and so was not prepared (foolish for an Eagle Scout, I know) to discuss salary and benefits. The salary range mentioned is somewhat lower than I was anticipating, so I will have to sharpen my pencil and get them to come a little closer to where I think I should be.

With there now being three viable possibilities for work, the burden caused by being laid off is starting to ease somewhat. There is still the stress of not having a job, but knowing that one is just around the corner certainly helps.
