I THINK that went well ...
I had the interview at Channel 6 yesterday., at 11:30 am. It was almost 1:30 by the time I left. I talked to four people (the assistant/acting news director, the executive producer, one of the assignment editors and one of the Internet content folk) and got quick tours of the main studio and the control room, and a wee peek at the original studio, which contains (literally) the oldest control board in TV. (This is the oldest TV station in the world; I knew that but had forgotten it.)
They asked me a few questions, but did a lot more of telling me things and asking if I had questions for them. They asked me a LOT more questions during the two phone interviews. I am hoping this bodes well.
While I was talking to the last person, the assistant news director had to leave, and she popped her head into the room. I had left my bag and folder in her office (at her invitation). So I told her the folder contained copies of my references, and asked if I should leave one on her desk as I departed. She said yes. So there's that.
Before I printed out the list for this, I made a point of putting nounsandverbs at the top, since he's the TV-news guy among my references.
IF they decide they want me, I will have to sign an offer letter and pass a drug test. So, as one person put it, "no more crack for you." I know. It will be such a hardship.
Hoping and praying!
(We completed the day [Patrick having gone along for the ride] by having lunch, going to Harbor Freight, meeting Beanie, dance practice, and Denny's. We were out of the house for 18 hours.)
