so, yeah, the interview.

so, yeah, i had my interview yesterday. it was okay. not great, just okay. contributing to the "merely okay"-ness of the interview were the following:

1) i was literally the very first interview for the position. i mean, it's a new department, and i was the first interview. so, they weren't exactly sure which questions to ask and we were all a little off-kilter.
2) i was interviewing for two jobs at once. there are openings for both mental health specialists and crisis management counselors, both of which i'm interested in and qualified for, so they just threw both of those directors into the interview, along with another supervisor.
3) did i mention that there were three of them and only one of me?

so, yeah, a little rocky, but i think they liked me. also, since i was the first interview, i have to wait until they cycle through the first round before i find out whether i get a second interview, and she said that it might be 2 weeks. (the position won't start for 5 or 6 weeks.)

so, i guess i'm cautiously optimistic. i'm currently composing the perfect thank-you notes (thanks to ruth, without whom i would have totally forgotten this crucial step) and i think that once they read my kick-ass clever follow-up comments, they'll offer me the job immediately.
