Back from the interview this morning. Went well I think, but I've thought other interviews went well too. They make no guarantees about it going full time after the contract time, but both guys that interviewed me started out as contractors on temporary projects.

My Uncle says that when the lady asked me what was holding me back from accepting the offer yesterday that I should have said something about a higher salary. Hindsight is 20/20, but seeing how their offer wasn't in the salary range that I gave em, I doubt that would have worked.

It didn't work out, so it must not have been the job for me.



To make a long story short. A number of years ago, I interviewed a young man, just finishing college, for an entry level position. He was completely honest when making the appointment with me about other interviews. As this industry is very tight (everyone knows everyone) I knew my industry colleague had offered him a position. Simply based on his honesty, I hired him (after making him tell a dirty joke so I could be sure he'd fit in).

Skills that are lacking can always be learned but his integrity is simply invaluable. That was 7 years ago, he's now my right hand and Ops Director.

Am pleased you remained true to yourself. The RIGHT fit will come along.
