one more level to go?
I had a third round interview (it's gone high, higher, low, highest in terms of seniority) today. My first interviewer had angryface lite, which always makes me feel like I need to talk more to compensate. He later told me he always assumes the worst in people, which is lovely, but he started smiling more toward the end! I hope that's a good sign. The second interviewer was the first person I talked to, and we didn't have that much to say beyond logistics. Again, this made me nervous and here are some things I probably should not have said:
- I'm working on a project that's late right now, oops
- I haven't done much marketing, but I'd like to! (when a lot of the position may be marketing)
- I want to move out of my parents' house as soon as humanly possible (idk if this is actually bad, but eh)
I thought of much better answers to the hypotheticals after the fact... but who doesn't do better when they have more time?
Considering they brought me in to see how I play with the only other employee in Chicago, staying is looking more and more real. I don't mind (I just need my winter clothes desperately!) but my hopes are all on a stellar salary/benefits package now. This particular company looks like one I could move around in, if I do my time and prove useful.
I should stop getting ahead of myself. Or I should just accept that this is how I'm wired - a thousand steps ahead, usually in a positive direction. Usually.
On a super random note, I think a trainer at my dad's rehab place is hitting on me. IT'S SO HARD TO TELL and it's such an awkward place to do so... in front of someone's parents, really??... but augh he's cute and augh I am really into people with nice builds now. Can we make this happen?!
