I reeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeally want this job.
It's for a position where I'd be writing and editing in the context of SEO, so it's a good transition for me to take: marketing + writing + new skills I'll acquire = really awesome. Plus, I'm qualified on every level.
After meeting their HR Generalist at the job fair last week, at her request, on Monday I sent three writing samples, along with a cover letter and resume, tailored to the company and the position. In my efforts to be a good little follow-up girl, I wrote an email today, expressed continued interest, offering additional writing samples, or anything else she might need. Maybe it was too much, but would less have been not enough? She wrote back, said she was arranging interviews for this week, thanked me for my patience, and that will contact me when she gets them scheduled.
Why do I feel like maybe I should have waited a day? Or, maybe it's a good thing? Why am I freaking out? Well, probably because I've been looking for a job just like this one to come along, and lo, it has... and I don't want to F it up. I get the feeling that these positions don't come up every day around here.
Another position that I am *close* to qualified for, and for which I went against my logic and applied anyway, should be coming around for interviews soon. The company is actually based out of Florida, and the hiring manager was there until... well, today. It's for a Promotions Coordinator position for a locally published magazine. As someone who just graduated, I clearly don't have all the qualifications - yet she wants to meet with me anyway. Who knows, I'd even take a lesser position, since it would give me a tremendous amount of experience for a more high profile company.
I need to make sure I continue applying, as opposed to fretting over nonsense as I tend to do.
