First Interview Over

Well, it went fine, but it was more of an informal chat. I dazzled them with my, err, dazzling personality! I bought some fancy new duds this morning and for a change, I was looking well and not a bit of blue in sight!

I have to wait for a few weeks to see if I have passed the first hurdle and qualify for the formal inquisition. It's going to drag out a bit, then! I was interviewed for two different jobs at the same time - a first for me. When they saw my CV, they brought in a lecturing guy to quiz me (as well as the person who was interrogating me for the development job!). I had to be somewhat diplomatic when asked which job I would prefer!

I figure I have a better shot at the lecturing gig, but come what may, I'll just have to resign myself to the low pay over here. They were somewhat amused when they heard about the contact hours I had in NUI, Galway. Unfortunately, if I get the gig, the workload will triple/quadruple and the remuneration will halve (at least). Pity it wasn't the other way around!
