Job Hunting - Cautiously Optimistic

I've heard back on the first two interviews, and I'm zero for two. I'm disappointed about the Resource Center, because I really thought it would be a good fit for me, and visa versa. I'm not surprised about College of Ed. While the interview went well, I got a vibe that the director I'd have been working for was not particularly comfortable with me. No worries - you can't be a great fit with everyone. Being down two of the three made me more anxious when I went to the third, though.

I interviewed Monday at the College of Veterinary Medicine (secretary for two assistant deans). Good interview, nice guys, and a shared passion for coffee. No clear vibe. I applied for a couple more jobs and already know I didn't make the interview list for one. Bad news, but a nice feature of the new HR application manager.

Today I went out with friends to see The Libertine, and when we got back after dinner sixish, there was a call from Vet Med on the machine. It was a noncommittal "Please call me as soon as you can", and I shrugged it off and settled down to run my Chill game. Sometime into the game it struck me - if they were calling to tell me they'd chosen someone else, they would probably have just left that as a message. They generally want to talk to you directly to offer you the job! Or, maybe they have some additional questions... but I am cautiously optimistic.

I've set my alarm for 8:05 and will call first thing to see what's up. I hope I'll have good news to report.
