I interviewed this morning for a receptionist job. I think it went well, but then I always think these things go well and so far I don't have a job to show for it, so apparently I'm not a very good judge of these things. It seems like it will be a good fit for where I am in my life right now. They were honest with me about how there's no room for advancement and I was honest with them that I'm not looking for advancement, I'm just looking for something that will support my writing. The only hang-up is that I told the recruiter who sent me on the interview that I can't commit to anything for more than a year since I want to go to grad school as early as next fall (if my novel fails miserably, that is), but the hiring manager said she's looking for a two year commitment, so I went ahead and said I could do that. That'll just give me another year to pay off the last round of student loans before taking on another bunch. But then the guy who's over her joined the interview and he said he wants a three to five year commitment, and I told him about my grad school plans and that the most I could promise him right now is two. But then he acted like that wouldn't be a problem, and I got the impression that he exaggerated just so he wouldn't end up with somebody who'll be out of there in six months. So hopefully that won't turn out to be a deal breaker. *crosses fingers*
