The interview I had today was interesting. Not just because of the particular work the job involves, but just the way the process has changed for me over the years since graduating from college.
Back in my broadcast days, getting a job required the tenacity of a commissioned sales person trying to close a six-figure deal (ironic since you were lucky to get a five-figure salary). That was kind of a fun challenge at first, but it wore thin after awhile.
These days, in the last two years in particular, it's not just you selling yourself, but the employer selling themselves to you as well. I think the reason is more the demand for my particular skillset than it is me being me, but it's a nice feeling being able to carefully consider the fit.
I'm interested to see what I eventually find by the end of the week. I think one of these gigs will be a good fit. We'll see!
