The interview went very well. It's a much different job than I had before, because most of it is training, and I'll work on the writing whenever I have time. I could have 5-8 scheduled training sessions in a day! I could also do webinars when there are several people who need to be trained on the same topic. I work best in short bursts, so that seems ideal to me.
Actually, the most difficult question was when they asked me how I would do scheduling. I've never had to do scheduling at my job (more than one meeting in a week was a rarity), but I told them that before I got married three months ago, I was a single parent of three children for 15 years. I also was one of the directors of the local film festival the first four years of its existence. They seemed to think I'd be able to handle the scheduling. :) One of the interviewers (there were three) said it was his job to scare me away from the job. When I didn't get up and run away at a critical point in the interview (when they said I'd be training others, but sort of have to train myself), he joked, "Show her to her desk!" They are interviewing more people today, and said I should know by the middle of the week what they decide. I think I have a good shot at getting the job. The tasks and my skills seem like they were made for each other. Lisa G.
