Interviewing

When I was hired at Target last December, I knew that I was being hired for a project-funded role.  This meant that my job had a fixed duration; once the project was done, I would need to find something else to do at Target.  I am very much a full-time Target employee with an annual salary like most at headquarters... I was just hired into a role that had a defined end date.  Target is committed to me as a team member, and this role is just the first in what I hope will be a long career at Target.

I was hired in Dec.  It was a 12-18 month role.  WAS.

Projects change; scope gets shifted, and time lines get truncated.  If all goes as currently planned, my project will be complete sometime in September or October.

This means that I've been looking for my next opportunity for a few months or so, but in earnest over the last 4 weeks.  My manager has been great, encouraging me to meet with a host of people, but it is the the people I know from outside of work that have led to the most promising leads.

Tomorrow morning, one of those leads is paying off.  I have three interviews: 8:00, 9:00 and 11:00.  These are face-to-face discussions, and I think I'm well qualified for the role.  I just have to convince three people of this fact.

I'm not nervous.  I rarely am for an interview.  I just don't see the purpose of getting all worked up and edgy.  I am full of energy, though.  I'm hoping to get a good night's sleep.

I should know within a week or so whether I will get this job or have to continue looking... I'll keep you posted.
