Interview #2

It sure is nice to have my two big interviews over and done with. Now the only thing looming over me (as far as job possibilities in the archiving field) is eventually finding out whether or not I got the job. This interview was a little more challenging than the other one because their questions were less direct, which meant I had to do a lot more freestyle rambling. Rambling is something I can do, but not necessarily coherently or impressively. I had prepared a plan for how to go about the project last night and when they asked me how I would proceed if I were doing it, I whipped out this two-page three-phase plan. I think they were at least a little impressed by the initiative and they seemed to agree with the proposal, so... we'll see! Right now I have absolutely no idea what my chances are because I don't know how I really did and how everyone else fared.

This job is a little more enticing than the other one, even though it's not in London. They would both be great experience, but this one allows you to pave your own road. You'd essentially be in charge of the project, so as far as career development goes, this one would be a bigger step forward than the other one. But I'd gladly do either! Also, though the pay is the same in both jobs, the money would go a lot farther in Nottingham, so that's also something to consider. But, hey, right now I don't have an offer from either place - I might as well can it. Should find out about both by the end of this week, though.
