Well, well, well. It seems that I did well at the interview. I was there for two hours. It's been ages since I've run this gauntlet. That's good, right? The partners all queried me in a big, airy room with a beautiful wood table. I answered honestly, while still giving them an indication of how much I wanted to work for them. It's raspberry sorbet, really. The office is a vintage brownstone in the area of town known as the Gaybourhood or Gayville. When I stepped off the bus, I encountered many happily kissing Black men, which filled me with a great joy.
Down the block is the greatest little Italian bistro. Up the way is a pub that serves a mean lemondrop martini. The bartender called me "miss" and served it strong when the interview was over. I couldn't have been happier about how the interview went. Two hours is good, I think. The main partner said to me that he'd get back to me by next Friday, as he'd be traveling early next week. He said they'd be checking my references and that they'd do a basic background check on me. Then, he mentioned that perhaps I'd be coming in for a tele-conference with some of the international partners. He made sure to tell me that they were interviewing other candidates, and that they'd choose the best person for the job; he also said that there were people who were more administrative oriented, but indicated that they needed someone with more diversity. This was after he told me how diverse my resume was.
He asked if I was looking for employment/interviewing with others. When I indicated that I was, that's when he said that he'd get back to me as soon as possible--next Friday at latest. That's good, too? It's been so long since I've done this.
What the hell does a "minor background check" reveal?
I've got nothing to hide. My skeletons dance a Dia de los Muertos salsa on tables and bar-tops everywhere. It's just nothing I've ever encountered.
Yay, yay, and yay. Thanks for the happy thoughts!
Now, off for some asparagus gnocchi with a hot man. Life isn't so bad.
