New Page… Hell, New Chapter

I put in my paperwork this morning for my name change! Super excited. It was really easy and straight forward… glad I decided not to wait to do it.

I also had a job interview today. I was very nervous but everything went ok I guess. I wore my black pencil skirt (same one here) and a blue long sleeve button up shirt with a black belt. Wish I had a picture but I don’t so what ever. I looked professional and tasteful I think.

As far as the interview goes when I got there the light was out in the waiting room. I could hear someone on the phone but I didn’t know where they were… So I just sat down. After a few minutes a young woman came into the office, turned on the lights, and then got the guy who was supposed to interview me (the guy on the phone). He looked into the front where I was and asked if I was the “Umm.. candidate”. I kinda chuckled at that, however I slowly became irritated because he basically told the girl to get the interview questions and have me wait in the conference room. Then he returned to his office and talked on the phone again. Then he went out to his car, and then he went out for ice cream (just kidding… I think).

Anyway, we didn’t start the interview until twenty minutes after it was supposed to! I drove forty five minutes out there to wait in the dark for 10 minutes and then wait awkwardly talking to whom I believe was the admin assistant. Don’t get me wrong, she was super nice but couldn’t resist asking once the small talk was over… “When did you know?”

Lucky I’m not one to get offended.

All in all I am not sure I am terribly interested in the job after I learned a bit more about it but we’ll see. Seems to be a fairly disorganized business with a product that is under-developed but has potential… Not sure if I would be in a position to help it however. Does not seem to be what they are looking for. Not even sure they where interested in me anyways.

One last thing, I don’t want anyone to think that I see this interview in a negative way because I do not. Despite my doubts and my nervousness, I did it. Once I got talking I was just myself and confident. It was a great experience. Overall, today was a great day in my journey.
