So, I had an interview today. What did I learn? I learned that I am rusty when it comes to all of this. I used to be good at interviews but five years at the same job tends to dull those instincts. I felt like a complete moron. I arrived early, sweating from the heat and humidity, and then stood around because I didn’t really feel like sitting. In the interview itself, I didn’t do much at all to sell myself. I just spent most of the time nodding along as I was shown the project. A project which, by the way, is the kind of project that you just want to work on.
Luckily, my qualifications spoke better than I did and I think it all came out well. Now, I just need to let my references speak for me and they are all fairly eloquent folks so I should be okay. This is only a part time gig and the pay is what you would expect for a student position. It’s worth it, though. If just to give a little back. Besides, with the combination of this, Courtney’s salary, and my financial aid (if it all comes out right) we just might make it.
To live life the way I want and still be able to make it in the world. That is the challenge I face. So far, so good.
