Interview: Day Two

Day two was fine. I met with the newspaper's Newsroom Administrator, the Managing Editor and the Metro Editor. Even though my understanding is that none of these people have any say at all in me getting hired. I attended the daily morning story pitch meeting again. (Well, it's not exactly a pitch meeting but more like a 'this is what we are working on' meeting. But I suppose the Managing Editor could nix something?) I also went to lunch with one of my potential coworkers and it was nice. She had some interesting things to say about my potential boss, primarily how she is really kind of strict and critical and that this gal was convinced she was going to get fired in her first few months. I also met the part-time researcher, who was really nice. I liked her alot. I also sat shotgun on the reference desk for a good part of the day, which is kind of interesting in terms of seeing what kinds of questions come in but kind of frustrating in that it makes me want to work on them, instead of sitting there watching someone else work on them!!
