Scheduling
I'm buying my vacation tickets:
For those in Seattle or the Bay Area, is there any reason I should be in your city on a certain date?
This may be my shortest bout of unemployment EVER. The boutique marketing agency in Capitol Hill that I interviewed with twice last week (once on a holiday and once the day right after my layoff) wants me! Wheee!
I was horribly nervous about my second interview. It had been a panel of four. I felt like 2 of them disapproved of every word that came out of my mouth, 1 of them thought I was inexperienced and a total BS'er, and 1 of them liked me (so she couldn't have been important). However, I must have been wrong because apparently they interviewed me and also one other person yesterday, and I was the winner across every metric they had. Wow! (Hopefully not just by comparison, right?)
It may have taken me longer to find this out (as I was avoidantly putting off listening to the v-mail that told me, "Call me back please"), but niac is an awesome friend who wouldn't let me sabotage myself . . . not even in this little "just one more hour" kind of way. He pestered me into checking my v-mail because he knew I needed to do it right now. Obviously, niac is awesome.
Anyway, the company is apparently thrilled about me. I'm starting on Monday (same day as a new Project Manager there), then going down to California for the holidays, and then coming back to be all "new job! yay!" in the new year.
I'm not 100% sure on what I'm doing there. My new job title is "Interactive Producer" and looks like project management, data tracking and analysis, and a bit of content creation/editorial for internet and email projects. We'll find out what this means soon enough. I'm totally freaked out that I won't be up to the task. Freaked out, but optimistic.
The biggest things, though, are: (1) OMG! Stability; (2) Variety; (3) Coworkers who are probably creative and cool coworkers; (4) Finally having the will to upgrade my phone once I know what'll be best for business.
