2002-02-21 - 9:38 p.m. The interview Well, the big interview is over, and I think I did okay. I was personable and my usual charming self (yes, believe it, even *I* can be charming when I want to be). when I met the Senior Analyst. She seemed really pleased with my answers to her questions. Then I met with an analyst who looked to be about 12. I know he was older, he graduated from VCU in the Environmental Sciences area, which is what I was loosely associated with during my tenure in Biology, so we had something to talk about in between his questions about the job. A lot of the questions were about since I had a job with so much responsibility, would I be okay with a job with a lot less responsibility, or responsibility of a different type. I explained that I was looking for a position with less direct responsibility and wasn't a secretarial job. He then made the comment that this position was basically entry level and they had people who were fresh out of college looking for work experience were applying for this job, and it was obvious that I definitely had work experience. I explained that I was looking to change careers and that this job would be a good fit for my skills and abilities; and I was willing to start at the bottom if I know that somewhere down the line there may be a chance at advancement. He said there definitely was advancement if I wanted it. I told him that at this point. At the end of the interview, I asked him what my chances are in landing this job. He said "way better than average" with a smile. According to the Senior Analyst, they tend to move rather quickly on offering the position, it should take about a week or so. If I don't hear from her by the end of the week next week, I'm to give her a call. If I don't hear from her, then it's pretty much a done deal that I didn't get the job. I really hope I do, considering the fact that my boss and my two co-workers met today to divvy up my job (including my desk and office); an email was sent out with the results of the meeting; so I'm just wondering when I get "vacated" from my office. I really hope I'm gone from there soon, this is NOT a good position to be in mentally or physically. I can see the propensity for ugliness here. So it's going to take a few more days and we'll see what happens.
