That's really good news, del. I hope your first choice comes through on Monday!  And it was completely reasonable to ask for some time to ask HR questions before committing yourself. It really does seem like it is feast or famine, doesn't it?  Good luck!

Glad I didn't commit to that doctor.  I called the division lady this morning and she did say my 1st choice department had requested me as well on Friday.

I told her about the doctor making me an offer on Saturday, but apparently, according to the division lady she said the doctor can't make me the offer.  It has to come from the head HR lady because they have to do all the paperwork first (background check).  She said the doctor was new and probably didn't know.

Now except for my reputation as a serial killer  ;) I have no problems with any kind of background check.  Now credit checks are something different (it shows I'm currently overextended because of my school loans and therefore my score is bad) but the website said they didn't do credit checks.  Here's hoping that still holds true.  I should hear something today, Tuesday at the latest.

Keeping my fingers crossed and hoping I don't get disappointed again.

Got hired!!

Got my pick of departments.  It's a state job at a health research university, so they offer free health insurance which goes into effect immediately, a pension plan, all federal holidays off, a 5 minute commute and I don't even have to pay for parking. Took a big hit in salary $8000 per year cut, but nothing's perfect.  I start Monday.

Being happy doesn't mean everything is perfect.

It means you've decided to see beyond the imperfection
