Job Interview

Had the job interview today, here's the low-down:

I went in today and met with two people.  Gal 1 was very nice, but she was HR, you know?  She was cordial but reserved.  When I got her talking about the family & service aspect of the company, she really opened up.   She spoke a lot about the right fit for the company, and that they could teach anyone how to do the job, but that they were looking for a particular kind of person.  She seemed to give me the indication that I was a good fit for the company, but not for this particular position.

She then passed me off to Gal 2.  Gal 2 was much more personable.  She and I had the chance to talk more about what skills I have and how they'd be beneficial to the company.  She told me that I had beat all of the other applicants out so far, and asked me about my availability.

My only complaint was waiting for 40 minutes after my set meeting time to meet with HR.  I understand that meetings are never over when they are supposed to be, but wow... 40 minutes. 

As with other jobs I've had since I've been blogging, I'm not going to name the name of the company, and ask you to do the same.  I actually know people who've had their careers negatively impacted by the things they have said in a blog, Twitter, etc.  They are great, well-meaning people, but I'm learning from their mistakes.

Now, to get the job and find a place close by where I can live and stay in my Ward...
