ach! i just finished an interview for a new job..."holy stress batman!" is all i can say.
yes, i'm changing jobs...well, more like going into another area of my profession, one that will allow me a little more flexibility than my current position (it has been time for me to move on for over a year, but it is only now that i'm doing what needs to be done).
but, back to the interview. i haaaaate interviews, not that i imagine anyone really enjoys being grilled, however tenderly it may be done (well, some might, but that's another post completely...). it has been 11 years since the last one and i think i'm out of practice. i talked ad naseum, but realized that i wasn't really saying what i wanted to say. "talk alot - say nothing"...hmmm, kind of like many politicians i suppose. now, false modesty aside (oh hell, who am i trying to fool? i have no false modesty) i am good at my job, and would be fabulous at the one i'm applying for. but i have noooo idea of whether that came across in the interview. did i impress, or did i not? did the interview panel (of 4 people) see just how fabulous i am, or did i come across as "a lot of talk, little substance" (like a few dates i've had....)? and now i'm left hangin'....for three weeks, at which time the powers that be will deign to let me know their decisions.....
ah, either way, i'm fine. i'll still be changing jobs, but will be going to plan "b"..... not so much a fan of plan "b" though, 'cause you know it's going to involve another damn interview.....!
wish me luck!
