It Went

I am back from my interview and, basically, it went... I think that after every other interview that I've had in my life I've felt really good about it; this one not so much. The guy I was interviewing with was very aggressive, not mean, just aggressive. He kept harping on how my most recent job was basically backsliding from my previous two jobs. I was honest and didn't try to talk the job into something that it wasn't. What I did say was that it was only 9 months out of a 13 year work history. I also said that, although it wasn't an ideal position, the job market being what it was, I was glad to have found a job in my field at all.

I think that most people who have done this, but pre-interview I had imagined my whole life working for this guy. I had come around to the idea of working full time. I would rather be working than here at home. I'm disappointed, because even if the interview went better than I think that it did, the guy isn't moving very quickly. He said that he's looking to fill the position in the first half of the year. I really can't wait that long.

I'm going to lay on the couch and watch the Food Network now.

UPDATE:

I decided to look on Craigslist to see if there were any jobs for today. BCFG has a job posted (it names the company, so I know that it's them). It looks like K was promoted to R's job and now they are looking to fill K's position. This really feels like kicking a person when they are down.
