Interview!!

I had my first official librarian interview today at a local, suburban public library. I was SO nervous about it all, but luckily one of my best friends here works at the circulation desk and was on duty when I came in so he calmed my nerves a little and then I talked to another sort of friend who works there so that helped too. She gave me some tips. Overall, I thought the interview went well and I think the director really liked me, but I have no idea who else she has talked to or how those interviews have gone. She is very chatty and so I felt like I didn't get much time to talk. But I think I said a lot of the right things.

Anyway, would I even want this job? I don't know. It's only part-time, but I guess that means at least 30 hours a week so that isn't bad and she's in the process of seeing about getting health care benefits for all employees who work over 15 hours so that would be pretty sweet, too. It involves sitting at the reference desk all day, though, so I don't know, that kind of sucks. Like, doing nothing but sitting at the reference desk. Which is something that I really don't like doing at my internship - just sitting there waiting for customers to come. And if they don't, then you just sit there. But, the director seems really open to ideas and if I can get some good ideas about how to improve things, which I think I might be able to do, then it might actually be a really awesome opportunity. At least for a year or so, where I can get some experience and then maybe be ready for another move somewhere. I don't know. We'll see. Second interviews will start after the first of the year.
