Suddenly, Everything is Happening

I've been searching for a job for three and a half weeks, and finally some pay off.  I had two interviews yesterday.  One went super well, and it was for a full-time marketing coordinator position at an interior design firm.  (Awsome!!)  The other I was not so sure about.  I just didn't leave with a good feeling, like I often do after interviews.

I said to my mother, I don't know if it's because I'm actually really good at interviewing or it's that I have an inflated sense of self, but I always think I do good on interviews.  She said, Oh, it's probably both.  Thanks, Mom.

Anyway, I said that before I had the 2nd interview... Oh and that one was for another unpaid internship.  Meh.  During the interview one guy asked (there were 3 interviewing me...)  if I was chosen and accepted the internship and continued my job job search and was offered a real position, if I would leave.  And I'm like, what?  You're seriously asking me that?  So I said, Well, my long-term goal is to have a full-time position and start my career, so if I perform my job well as an intern, and there's a possibility of me staying on full-time, then yes, I would be willing to stick out the internship.

And this guy says, Oh, well, in an agency setting we can't predict what's going to happen in 3 months.  We might need an entry-level person then and we might not.  It's not a probability of you getting hired.  There is a possibility, but not a probability.

I know what there is a probability of - me seeing through that bullshit.  My dad even got angry when I told him about it.

But in other happier news, the first interview was fabulous.  Everything they need in that position (writer, proofer, creative, strategic thinker, innovater) are all things I can provide, things I do well.  She said the company is a little slow when hiring a new person, but that I shouldn't get worried, because they make cautious decisions.  So, we'll see.  I really hope it pans out.

There was another job I applied for and heard back from, but it's in Madison, WI.  I would be a technical writer for a medical supplier.  It sounded interesting, and they are going to call me for a phone interview sometime this week.  So I'll fill ya in later.

And then today, this guy calls me from a sort of creative temp services thing that I applied to online.  They find project work to full-time jobs for people.  I would get a chance to do some more copywriting.  So I'm meeting with him tomorrow to see what opportunities they can find me.  I don't know if I or the company pays them or how that works, but I think this might be another break for me.

Whew. So, it's weird, but suddenly in my job search EVERYTHING IS HAPPENING!!!  Now I just need one to actually hire me.
