It's been a while since I've posted a job search update. The activity slowed down a little - especially since we weren't applying to new jobs. Both of us had interviewed with Mars
Petcare (in different divisions) and were told to be patient.
Dave Update: Dave had an interview last Monday with Tractor Supply Company in Nashville. He said it went pretty well. So now we're just waiting for a response. Dave has had a call from Mars
Petcare saying they want to bring him down for an interview - but not in brand management anymore. Apparently the strategic insights group got
ahold of his resume and really want him to interview for a position with their group. Dave's waiting to hear back from HR on a specific date. He wants the Mars
Petcare job more than
TSC, so we just have to hope the timing works out and he's lucky enough to have a decision to make!
Merritt Update: I got a call two weeks ago from Mars
Petcare (The
Nutro Company) to schedule an
onsite interview in Nashville for 9/27. I was already scheduled to present in two classes that day at
Notre Dame, so I had to decline and reschedule. I finally touched base with someone live after days of phone tag and rescheduled the interview for Friday, 10/8. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I feel like it's my last chance to get a job - and it's definitely my only chance to get a job in Nashville since there aren't other traditional
CPG company's there.
Please let me know if this is cheesy or not: Because they let dogs roam the halls at Mars
Petcare I was going to make dog toys for everyone I interview with. What do you think? I know the dogs have toys there because the HR woman I spoke with told me a story about a certain dog that steals all the dog toys throughout the day.
Riggins loves poop. Seriously. He eats it, does it often, and apparently plays in it. The photo above is what he looked like when I picked him up from daycare recently. So proud!
This is Parker sleeping on the couch. So weird! And sorry, a little obscene, too.
