Hey all,
You all are a really good team o' steam.
Those thoughts prayers wishes and vibes reached all the way...I know it.
It went very well. I should know by Monday or Tuesday!
The upside, which is in fact very very very up, is that it is a secure job that I feel truly capable of learning and doing (and already have the skill set they need). And the people seem nice. The boss is ex-military, so I'dhave to restrain my inner hippie/poet/Madwoman of Chaillot, sigh. But I pretty much gave up being Paid to Be ME a long time ago.
The downside, which I would have to cope with, is that it is boring. VERY boring. And it's in a cubicle where you have your back to the opening so people can walk past and look at your monitor so I couldn't hop in here.
Basically, I'd have to stay on task, which isn't easy. But...there are headphones...and I could take walk breaks (it's in a pretty area). Whoops, I'm back to upsides.
All in all I gave my best and felt pretty sure the guy liked me. He even talked to me afterward and when I probed about my chances he suggested that the previous person was super young and "full of enthusiasm" and then he said, and on the other hand "she's bubbly and full of enthusiasm".
He's not a lot younger than I am, and a war vet, so I think he's not looking for bubby...maybe he has a more pragmatic attitude about things.
They have 4 more people to interview, so I won't fixate. I'll keep you posted!
Thanks again for all the support,
Hops
