I i e e e (part 2)
After half an hour, the phone interview is over. I'm nervously optimistic, buzzing with that rush of nervous energy. I don't know how I stand, but I'm nervously optimistic. Did I mention that already?
I spoke with the new Director; he's a very nice gay man, it sounds. He explained the position, then asked me questions about my leadership style, how my background would help me, what challenges I'd expect, etc etc. It sounds like they need a lot of work with their student groups; contradictorily, he emphasized that he wants a person who'll advance queer issues on campus, but also balance the needs of the other groups. Sounds like a lot of work, but stuff I could do.
I asked some good questions too, I think. Brought up my Anne Phibbs connection and my jonesin' for more web presence for the groups (he agrees). I blurted out at the end how I thought this went very well; whether advertent or not, he agreed. They'll be calling tomorrow to have candidates come in for half-day interviews on the 9th, 10th, 14th, or 15th. If I'm one of the lucky ones, I'll prepare a presentation and face an open forum of questioners.
EEeeeek!
