Wow! I was offered the job yesterday with company 'B'!
The only trouble is I really want to interview next week with company 'A' before I accept with 'B'. The 'A' job is, I think, a better opportunity and would be a direct hire. Job 'B' is a 6 months contract-to-hire so you see why I call it my 'B' choice.
Interview date change: The company 'A' interview is now confirmed to be on Wednesday at 9 AM CST.
Thanks so much everyone for the thoughts and prayers. It really did help me to have the confidence and a winning attitude to succeed.
