Today's interview went okay. The boss is one of those effete publishing types. He's married and has four kids. He is currently the sole editor of the Trade devision. No wonder he needs an assistant editor!
The good news: if I get the job, it would pay better than my job in New York, and comes with acquisitioning powers, a definite step in the right direction if I choose to stay in publishing.
I also asked about the hours, "It's a salaried position, what hours do you expect someone in this position to work?"
He said he works 9-5 and usually skips or takes a short lunch. "You could probably set your clock by me," he said. "It's really important to get home and see my family."
The hours should be regular, but flexible, which is good for me! I'm also glad to hear he has something outside his job. I've had enough of working for perfectionist workaholics.
I asked a lot of questions. I guess I would be happy there. It's a job, right? But part of me feels like the time will come when I need to get out of publishing. The big question is, "To do what?"
Nevertheless, it was nice to get an interview; and things being what they are in my life at this time; I think it would be a good thing if I got the job. I should know by next week.
I am now, of course, kicking myself for some of the things I didn't say. I guess that's better than kicking myself for things I DID say.
