De-press(ed) Secretary

I had my interview today for a job as a press secretary for a member of Congress. Somehow that should impress me more than it does. A week ago, I was elated! Now I'm like...eh.

Mainly because the salary is soooo low. I've already blogged about the poor pay and high cost of living in the DC area.

So since I don't really want the job at this point, I felt very relaxed and comfortable during the interview. It went well. They seemed impressed. Of course they could have just been polite.

Doing my research for the interview, I discovered these staffer types in DC really move from person to person and from agency to agency. I don't want to hop around anymore, so that doesn't appeal to me in the least bit.

However, if I get a 2nd interview, you better bet I'll take a chance to fly to DC for a day or two!

Till next time...

Polite, Schmolite! Of course they were impressed. You just need to decide if their position helps you reach your goals or not. What's luck got to do with that? Keep dazzlin' them.
