Well the test was today. It was not just a typing test. In was a 500+ question test. On things such as excel(3 parts), word(3parts), windows (3 parts), internet (2 parts) payroll, accounting theory, bank reconciliation, bank deposits, petty cash and a 20 minute typing test. Needless to say, I am sure that I did not pass this part of the interview process. I am so bummed right now. So disappointed. I really wanted this job. But there was a lot of secretarial stuff and I am just not a secretary. I know a little about Word, but am by no means an expert. Just do not have a good feeling. This thing took me from 5:00-9:45 to complete. And to top it all off, I stopped to sign in at the front desk, and I see my bosses wife's name, she is there taking the test. I asked if I could wait until she left, which they dd let me do.I am just so mad at myself right now. I just do not have great computer skills, and I need to work on that. OHHH!!!! Disappointment hurts!!!!!

I congratulate you on the guts to try. Wait and see how it goes. Sometimes you don\'t know. But, the first try at getting a new job is the hardest. You just learned a boatload! Hug!
I\'m sorry. But you tried! that\'s the main thing. And something perfect will come your way. I know it. Hang in there. You win some and lose some. Take a nice relaxing bubble bath or something to reward yourself. You did good!
Don\'t beat yourself up honey!! You don\'t even know your results yet, it\'s entirely possible that you did much better than you think! Keep positive!
Oh I was thinking of you & wondering how the typing test went. So sorry to log on & see this post. it\'s too bad that they didn\'t warn you a little more about all that was involved. But like the others said, you shouldn\'t be so hard on yourself--Be PROUD! you tried it--I would have seen that test, and probably just walked right back out--who am I kidding, I never would have made it to the test. :) You saw something you wanted--found your weak spots & know what you need to work on. I\'m very proud of you. keep your chin up! lisa
