Interviews & Brickabrack
I interviewed for a position with a local branch of a national bookseller today. I won't say which--that internet can really find its way onto anyone's desk these days. But suffice to say, although they were pretty impressed with me--I don't think I'll be joining the team. I'm only half trying to find part-time work, so I'm not going to jump on the first thing that comes along. School will be a bear this year, and I'll be lucky if I have time for art. I just wish it would start paying for itself a little more! But, that's why I'm cracking down now, putting myself out there, trying to find my audience.
But, I digress. The interview went well. I didn't manage to make good eye-contact. I'm shifty like that--I really can't look people in the eye much. Confidence issue aside, I was personable and honest, and made a good impression. If anything, I got a chance to brush up on interviewing skills.
My newest are in the Etsy art showcase today for another 2 hours. Some new hearts and hits, but no bites. However I didn't expect much. Just trying to get my name and face (art) out there for people to see. Possibly get spotted into a treasury or something. I really, really need to start following the treasuries on ebsq again, but I got so busy and got out of it.
Speaking of ebsq, I also need to crack down on Art History. I'm looking for a new hook to post up--I really want to put up some weekly discussions and profiles, etc. But that all takes time, so I'm going to have to have that on the back burner for a while before I really get a chance to let loose.
Ok, that's enough, I'm going to go play some DDR with the husband.
