Exhausted but Good



I was very tired as I wrote this last night.  It had been a whirlwind day.  I had been put up the night before at a hotel near the airport and brought down to the museum/campus in the morning.  I was given a tour of the museum and the campus and then lunch.  After the lunch was the formal interview, though I wouldn't call it too formal. The people at the museum are very informal, and it makes for a relaxing atmosphere.  After the interview, I was given a tour of the surrounding area.  I really love this area.  It's very funky cool (that's the only way I can describe it). After touring a few places, we met for dinner, which was excellent.  The president of the museum board had dinner with us and I can't say this enough, everyone was so nice and relaxed.  There was a lot of laughing and friendliness.  Then I came back to the bed and breakfast that I'm staying in so I could relax.  I will go to the museum this morning after breakfast, but I'm not sure what today's agenda will be.  I was only told that we'd work out some of the details.  I'm really hoping that they can tell me today whether or not I'm hired, though they may wait until I am home for that.  I think though that today will probably be an easy day.

It sounds like yesterday they were taking time to get to know you and to FEED you! Today may be more of the nitty-gritty now that you are relaxed. As always, good luck with it all, Joe.

Sounds as if they want to get to know the person, not just the qualifications, so that they know you'll be a good fit with the rest of the team. It's encouraging that the atmosphere seemed good. Hoping and praying for the best.

It sounds as if it went well from their perspective too or otherwise they wouldn't have spent so much time with you. You're probably right that they won't tell you the decision until you get home -- these things sometimes move slowly so that everyone concerned has input. So if you don't get a definite answer today, not to worry. Fingers crossed!

Glad it was good so far. It's nice that they were more laid back and could "entertain " you a little. Enjoy the rest of your stay and I'm still hoping and praying you hear good news. :)
