I have been through five interviews, I spent an entire day in an operating room viewing surgery and yesterday I had to give a presentation on pancreatic cancer. All of this to get a job with a company that by all accounts, except for one from kleinbl00 is fantastic to work for.

Yesterday I reached out to a former vice president of mine and a former director and had them write personal letters of recommendation to the hiring manager at this company. I've literally pulled out all the stops. I'm not sure what else I could do. The hiring recruiter reached out to him and let him know that in her 15 years of recruiting I'm the best candidate she's ever put forth. I know it's down to me at two other people. One of them is an internal candidate and the other is a friend of the top rep in the country. The fact that I'm still in the hunt is amazing.

He wants to think about it over the weekend. I wish he'd let me know today.

Meanwhile, I have a new job I'm in and I'm trying to make sure that my first month of quota, December, had me looking like a rockstar. It's very difficult to do this while knowing that my heart desires a very different role. I don't often let myself get this excited about a "job" but the truth is I am.
