Missed two consecutive calls on my cell phone today. Redialing the number, I found out that it was from a company in Winnipeg that I applied with. Actually, it was the only entry level position I've come across so far.

Was in mid-freakout about missing the call, when I checked my email. Sure enough, they emailed me about coming in for an interview next week.

EEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

This doesn't mean anything though, and I've got to keep my hopes from getting up too high. It's not even in the field I want to be working in, which no one I tell seems to understand that oil and gas remediation =/= metal mining remediation, but it's experience. And it's not a geology job in a remote fly-in camp, which was going to be my next option (despite desperately not wanting the job type or the lifestyle).

The hardest part of this is, if I get this position and stay in Winnipeg, I think I'm kissing the big maybe surrounding a guy I've been circling for a while good-bye. He's in the Yukon and not willing to move, and we've already proved we can't do long distance. I'm looking into work there as well, but there's less than nothing in my chosen field right now, and I really don't want to do fly-in camps. Although maybe in the spring when the industry is hiring for summer work...

Meh, that's a post for another day. For now, I'm keeping the excitement about getting an interview going, because how awesome is that?!

Now I just need to research oil and gas remediation, and try not to completely bungle the interview.

And finish sewing my interview dress! :D
