They're making their decision next Friday, the 8th. As of right now, I'm less worried about if I have the job or not and more proud of myself that I went in there and was confident and didn't sweat bullets.

I've been prepped for this since late last week. F was running practice interviews with me, and making me run around to everyone I knew in some sort of management position to get questions from them. My dad ran through questions with me, I called my last boss and had her ask me questions. I went to monster.com and collegegrad.com and printed out frequently asked questions. I went into the interview prepared for a CIA interrogation.

And it was the most relaxed interview I've ever been in. S and L were very laid back, and it was less of a question and answer session than "Okay, here's what we're looking for. This is what we want. Talk talk talk. Okay, your turn!" So I told them what I had already done that related to the job, and that since I've been here for five months, I've worked on projects with other departments here, and know practically everyone here.

They ended it on a shaky note, which was: "Well, we like that you already work here and know people, but we have seen a lot of good people. We'll make our decision next Friday." Argh.

But good for me! And I kept my hands in my lap and everything and didn't twiddle my thumbs. Yay.

I think you should e-mail that to them.

Good luck. When the interview feels laid-back sometimes that's a really good sign. And they'll never tell you they're giving you the job even if they totally are, I've found!

You did fabulous, darling! Hey, the boss was helping you out with this? See, she thinks you're worth it! If you don't get it, it will only be because it was a choice between multiple fabulous people, cuz you? Definitely are. *mwah*

I guess my experience was abnormal, then. ^_^; Maybe it depends on your field.

Good for you! It seems that you did a lot of preparation, and made sure you were on firm ground, and there's not a whole lot you can do besides that. They might well have seen other good people, but aside from your obvious qualifications, there's always a strong preference to hire internally because they know that the person they're hiring already knows the system. Hope it turns out well for you! ;)

My husband's been offered a job on the spot once or twice but me? Never, even when later it comes out that they totally wanted me.
