The trial of me.

I seriously felt like I was on trial at work today. I finally had my interview for the open billing manager position... but I had to meet up with six people, and the whole thing lasted three hours. THREE hours.

Everyone that I interviewed with, I knew already. They asked me some stuff about my expectations, and what I can do to make the department better (actually, now that I think about it, if they knew there has been lots of problems for awhile... why was nothing ever fixed before?) I felt like i was repeating myself to everyone, trying to use key words ("I would be a HANDS-ON manager, working together through COLLABORATION").

The worst was meeting up with the CFO. This guy was brutal... he has a way of saying things really nicely and asking you questions, and then BAM! argue against everything you just said. All with a smile, of course. I was totally rambling my answers to him, worse to him than anyone else.

But besides that, I think I performed well. I still believe that I have the inside track because of my experience there, and lots of co-workers would back me up. And if they don't hire me, they are screwed when I leave.

Anyways, at the end of my three hours, I was seriously exhausted. But at least it's over. And tomorrow, they are interviewing two other candidates, one of them being my friend from school. Weird, isn't it?
