Interview, Round 2

Another interview today, a follow-up to the one last week. The general manager from the Canadian company liked me and so called up the Vice President of the American company and asked him for his input on me. This one was a telephone interview and again it was much like a conversation. He was a nice sounding man with a pleasant, mild American accent. I liked him. We talked about maps and cartography, about his company, the directions he sees it going, about me, of course, my interests, what I’ve done. All very pleasant. I hope he felt good about our conversation. I can’t say he felt bad about it but I have a nagging feeling that perhaps I didn’t come across eager or strong enough. He was all so relaxed so I was too.

It’s out of my hands now. I hope I get the job. I look forward to the fun of saying good-bye and moving on to something new. It still makes me nervous. Would it work out? Will I work out? It’s frightening and exciting, an adventure. As long as it ends well.
