interview

I have a job interview tomorrow. I'm pretty excited. My first real interview. I don't quite know what to expect, though. The position is supposed to start on June 9, which makes me a little worried. I have never had to impress anyone with myself, only with my writing and skills. I know I'm not the most professional sort of person, I am a bit too casual for my own good some times, but I like to think that my casual-ness makes me easier to relate to.

I know I can make myself sound better than I am, but I also wonder, if I land a really good job, will I be able to stay afloat? Am I actually qualified, I am able to do what a job entails? Is it any different from school? I guess it all depends on the job.

The interview is for a medical non-profit. That worries me a little bit. I am not used to being in a medically professional environment. Will I work with medical-ish scienc-y people? or my own type? I work well with all types of people, but I am not a white-walls type of person.


Even more exciting news, I finally saw a pdf of the issue of the Baltimore Sun with Welter in it. It is in the Sunday edition, May 18, under Voices in the Idea's section. pretty awesome. and my cover is printed in full color. thats kinda amazing. It shows how much they must have loved the cover. I feel like my work was really worth the trouble and stress.


I also got my grades. all A's. Summa Cum Laude, officially.


I guess life isnt as bad as it seems sometimes. Even if I dont get this job tomorrow, at least it was a reply back. Someone actually read my resume and thought it was worth something. And if one company feels that way, then there are others that might too.


I would be a bit nervous about accepting the first job I interview for, but as I was thinking about it earlier, I realized that it is pretty damn impressive, as a job goes. They offereall of the things I need, and boast a "competetive salary" which is better than most job listings. If I was offered the job, I think I would take it. someone told me yesterday: it is easier to find a new job once you already have one. I agree. and if the job is as good as it sounds/looks on paper, then it would be stupid of me to turn it down. Perhaps I am getting ahead of myself. Perhaps I should be so sure of myself. but I guess I should at least consider the possibility that someone might be impressed with me.


I am going to brush up on my copy-editing skills. See if I really can remember the skills I havnt used in a year or so. :)
