It Bit

So, the inteview was for a Staff Assistant job (one of 2 front-desk people), and I spent more time waiting in Rockefeller's office for the interview than having the interview itself.  And Shirley Adkins, the office manager, seemingly thought I was a current college student with lots of volunteer experience; not someone with a completed master's and 2 years paid experience doing a job similar to a Legislative Correspondent.  And even then, she did not know what my major was, had no idea I was currently employed, and showed no interest in the fact that I work for a major constituency in the Senator's state.  All this despite having my resume was right in front of her and she should have read it (why else was I being interviewed?).

Not to mention, the people I would replace spent the entire afternoon talking about cars and weddings.  I got the impression that a staffer was leaving for grad/law school and they needed to replace her.  She spent more time complaining turnover and asking whether I wanted to further my education (as if a master's isn't enough!).

All this for a job that I am over-qualified for that pays less in a year than what I make in about 8 months.  But, I'll know by middle of next week if they went with someone else (perhaps an unemployed Ph.D. with a best-selling book who will commute daily from West Virginia?)  LOL.  I'll post if I hear anything.
