Last night I relayed the story of my job interview to my parents and then to J, so I didn't have the strength to do it for a third time on my blog. Luckily, I slept like a log and this morning woke up refreshed and ready to kick butt at work. As I mentioned yesterday, the job interview went really well. It was pretty standard in terms of questions, and luckily I had prepared myself for just that.
Ok, Rewind.
The Background:
The company is an architectural firm headquartered in San Francisco and they have done quite a few interesting projects. They specialize in historic buildings and seem to be expanding beyond California to include the Pacific Northwest. The Portland office was just opened about 6-8 months ago. I randomly sent them my resume (one of probably about 12 or 15 that I have sent out so far) indicating that I'd be moving to Portland in August and would be looking for career opportunities. I totally didn't expect to hear back from them, but last week I was contacted about potentially joining the company.
The Time Frame:
The best part of the whole interview was when I found out that they won't have full time work for me until after September 1st. What? Too perfect! I really don't want to work until after September 1st! Jesse and I will be able to take that month-long vacation that we've been planning. I certainly could use the relaxation!
At the end of the phone interview, we talked a bit about the next steps and how the in-person interview process would go. First, I'd meet with the head of the Portland office and then would interview with the principals in San Francisco. There weren't any promises made, but I think the discussion of flying me to California sometime in August is a pretty good sign!

Well done! With you hard at work Jesse will have plenty of time to work on Quickcrit, Inc.
That is awesome! San Francisco really sucks, but I hear Portland at least has excellent beer. I hope everything continues to work itself out smoothly. If you need any random assistance from the SF front, lemme know... I know people.
True dat Wizard... however, that's the only productive thing he does now days anyway.
Rad rad rad. Plus, if you're downtown, you can visit Anna at Stumptown each and every day. Stumpletons discretionary budget!
So true! If Jesse gets his baked goods discretionary, I should get my coffee.
And then, Anna and I will have to fight over you when you come to visit next. We may have to work out a joint-custody deal.
.... brokered by Nightrain, of course.
Two hot chicks fighting over me! It's like I'm living some dude's fantasy!
