Jun. 16th, 2011 01:20 pmYesterday was my interview. I think it went really well!
Their office is amazingly pretty. I heard it was in an office park, but they totally had the building made to their specifications. There was a stream and a pond out front, the facade was a green wall, solar panels were set up in a nearby field, and the back of the building butts up directly against a state park. Certainly beats working in dc every day.
The first part of the interview was a little weird. They went over salary and benefits with me. Isn't that something you do after you offer someone the job? Anyway, salary and benefits were comparable to what I have now. So that's good.
Then we talked about the job itself. It seems like it could be interesting. The position is primarily maintaining all of the online ads for the organization. At first it seemed like a lot, but when I thought about it, it's probably going to be much easier than babysitting our marketing agency every day.
I asked a lot of questions about the office atmosphere. I want to make sure that it's the right place for me if they offer me the position. From what they talked about, it seems like it could be a fun place to work. I think I could be happy there.
The interview got off topic at one point, when we were discussing perks of the office like being able to bring in pets. The woman interviewing me has a pug! We ended up dropping everything so she could show me pictures of her pug. I want a pug so badly. Little curly tails!
I left the interview feeling pretty confident and excited. I really hope they think I'm the right person for the job.
