A Lefty Writes

This morning I headed to the state house bright and early (around 10:00) for an interview with "the Senator's" (that's how I'll refer to her from now on) Chief of Staff. The meeting lasted around half an hour and went, I thought, really well. I definitely think I made a strong impression and was able to answer his questions with grace and aplomb (two plombs, in fact). Next week he's going to report his hiring recommendations to the Senator after which there will be a final set of interviews and then I get the job. (I hope.) So it's looking like I won't know anything for sure until probably just after the New Year.

In other job news, I got an email from one of the other jobs I applied for. This is for an organizer position with a statewide non-profit trying to increase state funding for public schools and educational programs. They liked my resume and sent me a questionnaire to fill out. I'll finish that tomorrow and get it back to them.

So it looks like the job hunt is gaining some momentum (finally). I'm not expecting to have anything definite for a few weeks, but I'm hopeful that shortly after the holidays I'll be able to start work... somewhere.
