Yesterday’s interview went surprisingly well. I was real nervous right before I went in, as I was sitting in the lobby. But after being introduced to the interview board I felt at ease. The entire feel of the place was very calm. Perhaps it was that way because not all the employees were back from lunch or something, but it just seemed like there was less stress going on there. I’ve been in some state agencies where you can feel the tension in the air. This was not one of those places.
As for the interview itself; I tried to remain at ease, even cracking tiny little jokelettes that were pertinent to the line of work I’ve done and would like to do for them. It seems like I expected. It is a high volume, production driven analysis, coding and data entry job. I have to admit, this would be a nice change for me. I want some structure, a sense of duty, mission and some measurable achievements. Meanwhile, I can shine, network, and I will have my foot in the government’s door. That’s where I want it to be, and I think we could have a nice mutual relationship for the future.
This will also give me time to build my portfolio on design and development in my free time as I finish my degree. This more secure government job will also take some of that gloomy cloud that has been hovering over my "free market", job that from my last investigation is down 49% in sales from the this same time last year. Gulp. But I don’t have the job yet. So send some luck!
