Persistence

12 June 2007 in interview, job-hunting

I had a great interview this morning (not to be confused with the third interview I’ll have tomorrow). Today’s potential job involved a 20-minute commute; a business-minded, laid-back boss; and here’s the best part: an opportunity to start a new writing department at the company, from the ground up.

As in: I’d hire writers to work for me. I’d manage the company’s entire content. I’d have flexible hours, benefits, autonomy.

The company owner, who interviewed me, posted a listing on Craigslist almost two weeks ago. He said he received more responses than he could read (!). Why did he call me back? I e-mailed him twice. (Thank goodness I did!)

He’s interviewing a total of four people, and he’s still considering what salary to offer. Fingers crossed!
