The interview was last Tuesday, and I find today if I got the job.

I hope I don’t throw up when the phone rings :eek:

You’ll do fine. You’re in the best situation possible at this point, if you get the job things get a little better but if you don’t things are still pretty awesome. Deep breaths!

Well, just got off the phone with them, and they chose someone else.

The bright side is that the director of client services said he wanted to call me directly to say how impressed they were despite the outcome. It came down to me or someone who had more extensive knowledge of their systems, so they had to go with the other person.

Good news is that he said several times that they were very impressed, and if I’m still interested in working for them they are planning on another position in this area in January. So that softens things up a bit.
