Don't Give Up!

Hi again, everyone. Well, first of all, I had an interview yesterday for an interview on Capitol Hill. I am really excited about this job and I've heard from others in the office that it went well. So I will just have to wait and see. I am reminded again about the importance of networking.

This is how the process goes:
I applied for the job.
I told my internship supervisor that I applied.
He e-mailed the Cheif of Staff in the office.
I told my friend who works in the office.
He told others in his office I had applied.
I got called for an interview.
Someone from another office, e-mailed my interviewer to put in a good word.
My friend in the office e-mailed me and said he heard from my interviewer that it went well...
Now I am waiting.

The waiting part is the part that sucks. But, I'd say it was a good interview. It was with the Press Secretary AND with the Congressman himself. The congressman is so busy that he usually isn't brought in to the interview process until the final stages and even then it isn't unless the position is for a higher up position in the office.

About a week ago, I was ready to give up. I had applied to numerous different places and hadn't heard anything back. And so far this week, I have had a great interview and was asked for an interview someplace else next week! Never give up looking for a job!
