| liagd | Posted – 12/4/2007 11:57:22 PM | show profile Yesterday, I had a second very successful interview for a really good p/t in- between job -- doing something in which I'm interested and have experience in, good pay, nice work env't, flexible hours so I could focus on writing or other looking for something f/t and better. Definitely a step up from the Barnes and Noble gig I have now. They're calling references and I feel 99.9% sure they're going to offer it to me. I've also submitted an application for a job as associate editor with this great organization in which teenagers publish these cool magazines. I want this job! This is a real career move for me-- great magazine, great pay, actually using my MFA and writing ability, working with kids, nice title. This is the 3rd time I've applied for the position and the two previous times I've received very complimentary and encouraging rejection letters saying that I was a really strong contender for the position. So I sent my stuff out again, emailed the e.d. with whom I've been in contact previously, telling him that I'm applying again and am really interested. About 2 weeks ago he sent me an acknowledgment of receipt of my application but I haven't been called for an interview yet. I want to find a tactful way of saying "Would you please interview me already 'cause I'd rather work for you guys" The job doesn't start till january so maybe their taking their time but I'm anxious. |
