'It's outta here!'

The interview with the actual client took place today and I actually believe this went as good as it possibly could have under the circumstances. I feel a bit skeptical of my recruiter and if she really has faith that I can make an impression, but I guess in her line of work, first impressions are everything. Here I go again looking at the problem from someone else's perspective, but I just can't help but think this way.

I didn't get their decision as of yet, but I think I've got it this time. My historical background deals with many components the job entails and my attitude in the interview was enthusiastic and most importantly; genuine. It's really hard to fake enthusiasm, but within the first 15 minutes, I felt myself relaxing and knowing that all the indicators are pointing to 'yes' in this case. Yes, I know it's not theraputic to hold onto such expectations, but if I can't hope for something, what will it be worth to me if it ever happens? Exactly!

Some points I forgot to mention previously:

• The job is within my own city; fuck ever having to commute again until I find something else.
• They didn't balk when I gave them my salary range.
• They're what I consider to be a 'Recession-proof' company.
• They offer health benefits!
• The IT director asked me questions I think are important for finding the right match for the job (IE. 'How would you handle situation A if B and C were involved?).
  
• The company also is customer of the company I used to work for, so the IT Director knows many of the same people!
• I can take the bus to work every day! Awesome!

I'm sure there's some points I'm missing, but I'm a little overwhelmed with anticipation at the moment. I anticipate to hear from them by next week, at which point I'll go in for a 2nd interview. My recruiter tells me that if I make it to the 2nd, there's a very high probability that they will hire me full-time!

That's pretty much all for now, I can't wait to hear from them!
