Montreal August 2011 Interviews!

[ralyse 31]

I'm resigned to not rescheduling earlier now, and things actually work out really well with the date we got. I know there's a lot of us with August interviews, when will everyone be around?

Mine's August 3rd at 8:01!

August 22, 8:31am! I'm really happy I got a morning appointment so I can get there super early and be first in line! Unless there's some other VJers coming who will beat me haha

I guess it's time to research the POE and AOS parts of the process! I'm eager to cross the border but at the same time 3 months is a good amount of time to prepare and not too long seeing as we're (presumably) used to long distance relationships hehe.

I'm glad to have gotten the morning for that same reason! There's quite a few VJers scheduled the same day as me though, so it's probably going to be rpetty corwded pretty early

I got 8:31 on August 17th! I'm going to keep checking back just in case... but for now I'm pleased as punch!

I booked for Aug 25th at 8:31 (might keep checking to get earlier, but I am thrilled to have a date booked)

Thanks to everyone on VJ for support and giving us great advice

Keep checking back if you want an earlier date - I managed to get one for Aug 8th at 8:01 ... and I'll keep checking in hopes i can move it 2 weeks to the left! I'm pretty excited and theres not much time left!

I haven't actually rebooked, but I refresh to see when the next available date is all the time. Like multiple times when I'm sitting at my computer.

We're now scheduled for August 12th at 8:31 am. I will be stoked if I can get something sooner, but if not I am happy to finally have something concrete to work with.

Congrats! I thought I'd be more upset about how "far" away the interview is, especially booking a couple weeks after a group of VJers that had like 3-6 weeks of waiting, but now that there's something concrete like you said, it's a lot easier. Things are starting to come together....

Yeah, even bumping mine a few days sooner would keep me from having to live on a friends couch for *too* long, but its nice to have an idea when it'll be. (And to have an idea when I can quit my soul-sucking job, LOL)

I can totally relate! I'll be camping out at my moms and I'm crossing my fingers for an earlier date! The soul sucking job is coming to an end of us though. Are you quitting before or after your interview? i'm seriously considering before...

Well, its a gamble... but I have 2 weeks vacation booked in the middle of July for a camping trip and if I take them only to come back and work for like 2 weeks before quitting, I'll owe back a lot of hours due to how vacation works at my current job... it's barely any different to quit before I leave for camping and just bank on things working out... I'm about 90% leaning towards quitting for mid-July as it stands right now... plus, when I get back from camping I'll have a couple days to finish packing up our apartment and get all my stuff into my friends garage... and I guess get comfy on her couch until I have my passport in hand and maybe visit a few friends/family that I won't see much of after I move.

But if the vacation pay weren't such a factor I would've given my two weeks notice the day I got back from the interview because its the responsible thing to do... apparently.

Oh alright, thanks for the info!! I will try that
