Hopefully your application had better spelling than your forum post :lol: Though for beer school, that might just prove that you're in the proper state of mind. :stagger:

Thanks!

Before midsummer they've said, so no later than Thursday June 21 if they stick to the timeplan

You're welcome. Good that they at least gave you a time frame.

Well, i did not get the Director gig. However, i'm ok with that, at least i got some interview practice. The VP lady is on vacation but told me she'd meet with me when she returns to fill me in as to why i wasn't chosen. I am the youngest and least experienced to apply, and perhaps the lowest pay grade, so maybe she thought it was too big of a jump for me. Anyway i'll find out in a couple of weeks. But i'm not sad about it, the stress level was certainly going to be tenfold higher than my current job without a tenfold pay increase, so this could be for the best.

That sucks though, after all the stress and work to go through the whole process. Good that you're fine with it at least. Sometimes in interviews you learn that you don't really want the job that badly (I just went through that).
