I hear next week
I think my latest interview went really well. I blanked on another hard question they asked me, but at least I managed to blurt out something vague. The hard question: What kind of employee would you least like to work with? I dunno. I just do that when I get nervous. Kinda sucks.
I seemed to hit it off really well with everyone, and after a bit I was relaxed enough to joke around a little bit. I have no idea who, if anyone, is my competition. I decided it would sound a bit needy if I asked. Aa says this was a good call.
On Saturday, I bought a really awesome-looking dark lavendar suit that I wore to the interview with a black shell and black flats. I even found some earrings that totally matched the suit (score!). At one point my interviewers reassured me that "As you can see, the dress here is business casual -- you'll never have to wear that suit again!" and I actually thought, Damn, but I like this suit!
So, I wait and see. I realize I shouldn't put all my eggs in one basket, but I have NO inclination to apply for further jobs. I suppose I could work on materials for upcoming positions and just not mail them until I know -- the next round are all due the 28th of this month. Will I actually be that organized and disciplined? Well, I doubt it. I said I could start as early as next week. Maybe I should enjoy my freedom a little, in case this is all I have!
P.S. Aa points out that, given their quick turnaround between first and second interview, maybe I should expect them to call as early as tomorrow! But I won't hold my breath.
