Counting my chickens before the eggs are even laid, thank you
OMG. OMG. O. M. G.
I just got a call from a guy who used to work with my mom, notifying me of a potential job opportunity at another company (and 10 minutes later a guy who works for the actual company in question called me, too). The position is in web development, with maybe some graphic design and database stuff on the side. They are willing to hire someone right out of school, and the salary is very nice.
And guess what program is right smack-dab in the middle of the list of "required skills and technologies"? Adobe Premiere.
I COULD WORK WITH PREMIERE FOR A LIVING. I COULD GET PAID TO DO VIDEO EDITING.
omg I want this job so bad omg.
Of course now that I've squeed aloud about it, it will turn out to be a really sucky position and/or the company will be horrible and/or I will not get the job. See title of post. But I am excited, and I do not have much to be excited about these days and this sounds like something that I actually have a shot at and dammit, I'm squeeing anyway. Screw the power of The Jinx.
Now I need to figure out how to convey my awesomeness with Premiere without mentioning the "fannish music video" part. And how to assure them that I know how to build web pages even though all I've made are personal sites. And how to totally lie about my graphics ability (if you've seen my sucky icons, then you know what I mean).
