interview 1
Since I began the job-hunt a few weeks ago, I’ve had a few responses, but today was the first interview. I met with two senior editors at a local publishing company. Their organization creates three monthly magazines, dealing with construction, IT, and M2M. Though the subject matter doesn’t exactly intrigue me, I genuinely believe anything can be interesting if you make it that way.
I went in with an open mind, but the first interview, with ED #1, was unbelievable. He spent a good 20 minutes talking down the position, assuring me I would find it boring. He also didn’t smile—not once. His handshake was weak, his eye contact too long, and overall he was quite creepy. I had all but decided to forget this position, when I met with the second editor.
ED #2 was charming, personable, and smiled often. I liked him right away. He told me he didn’t have technical knowledge before taking the job, but as a writer he learned as he went along.
Sigh. Stuff to think about.
