Interesting day, jobwise
Emailed C today concerning the work she had mentioned to me. Turns out while she was on vacation last week, a meeting was held and her budget was cut. So instead of getting to overhire 4-5 people for a staggered amount of time, she gets to do it with just her usual assistant. No cut in workload, just in budget. Cuntmuffins.
Had an interview with MRT today for the Prop Master post. I've worked for them before. J said he was torn between interviewing a bunch of people and just plain hiring me, since he knows me and knows I have the skill set, connections, and work ethic to do the job. But there is a bit of a glut of skilled people in the neighborhood right now, and he said he couldn't in good conscience at least talk to some of them. Which I totally understand - you want the best possible person for the job. I'm a known commodity, but...
The good news is, though it IS seasonal, it's 9 month full time with benefits.
The REALLY good news is MRT is one of only 10% of theaters in the US to finish IN THE BLACK last season. No promises for this season, but there is also no real chance that the organization will fold any time soon.
The funny part? J said to me "Oh, by the way, you were a reference for another person I interviewed for this job." One of my cohorts at NSMT, it turns out. She'd actually do VERY well in the position, as they need someone with developed carpentry skills (along with sourcing, borrowing, upholstering, and all the other proppy skills).
No word yet from the interview with Chamber, nor any word from either of the 'out there' jobs.
We'll see.
