@dngnb8 Any update on the new job?!
1st interview was 3 hours. In the interview, he discovered I had a breadth of experience that he wasnt aware of. He told me he wanted to talk further, but had to regroup to think more about what he wished of me with this new info.
I had a 1 hour phone interview (we lost connection, he was on the road to CA). Based on that interview, I believe he asked his staff what the burning issues were. He then asked if I could help with them. Of the 7 issues they currently have, I have experience in resolving all of them.
He wants both a phone interview to discuss job responsibilities and another in person to meet executives of the staff. No offer yet, but I believe he wants me.
The issue is that he is creating a job that does not exist. This is a public entity, and creating a new budget line is not easy to do. It would be much simpler if the job was just a vacant slot.
The interviews “feel” good. I believe I am responding to the issues in an receptive way. Next in person interview is scheduled Feb 6th. I just hope I dont die of stress before then.
Thank you for asking, that was very kind of you.
