Thanks all!

Holy Smokes... I haven't been this excited and nervous about an interview EVER.

I'd love to land the job, but right now my top priority is to not make an absolute ass of myself!

Please cross your fingers and pray for me. This is truly a once in a lifetime chance for me.

Thanks for all the loving support. You ladies are wonderful!
I just got home from my interview and am almost afraid to say I think it went very well! Since it's nearly impossible to really tell this without giving the specific job I'm trying to get, I feel it's time to tell you all that it's for Editor of a small town newspaper.

The owner of the paper and his business manager did the interview. The owner has several different businesses all in the same building, and has this other man overseeing them all for him.

Anyway, it's the first interview I've actually enjoyed! I really liked both of them, and they seemed to like me too. We were laughing and smiling and shared a lot of the same views on how things should be done. They were telling me they were very happy with how much writing I've done and that I have so much expereince on the internet, since the paper is submitted to a printer electronically. I'm surprised that my experience is so dead on for what they deem important!

The owner stressed that this is very much a family oriented business, so my 6 yrs working at a parenting site convinced him that I am a family oriented person too, so should fit right in. They went over the job description with me, invited me to ask any questions I might have, etc. The owner was making it clear he wanted to hire me right then and there, and asked the other man if he wanted to explain the salary and benefits package to me... at which time the employee told him "We need to back up just a bit since we do have one other person coming in yet to interview."

Since the interview I want the job even more! It seems I have the owner rooting for me, so I do have a good shot at getting it unless the other applicant really blows their socks off.

So they sent me home still in the running, saying they'd be calling my referrences, meet with the other applicant, and plan to set up a second interview to go over salary, benefits, and the like. So now I'm praying HARD that I get this job. I seriously didn't think I had any chance before, but now that it seems I do, I'm absolutely wanting to have it!
