30 Something

I was so nervous. I went to my friends house to do the interview because I don't have a land line and cell phone are fickle sometimes. I got to her house around 11:30 and paced back and forth. At about 11:50 I called her phone to make sure that it was working. The committe called at 12:08. I didn't know that a phone interview was conducted by the committee, but there were four people on the conference call. The interview only last about 20 min. I wished I would have talked more about some of the things that I do at work, but I started to get nervous and when I get nervous my bowels act up and my voice quivers. I don't like that at all. So I kept my answers short, sweet and to the point. I know this may sound a little shady, but I think it sounded like the two people who worked for the program were black. Would they hire another black person? I don't know. A couple of months ago our college did a study on minorities in the work place. Our minority staff was asked to be a part of the study. It was sad that out of 200 full time faculty and staff, the minority population didn't even make up 10%. I know personally of two minorities who have applied for jobs, one who was promised a job that didn't get it. Why? Because someone was blocking. I would say the Dean, but that's just a rumor. There is also a minority person who was the Director of Student Life who took hell from this same Dean. The Dean would talk bad about her and insist that she help her "do her job". WTF? I hope that this is not the case with this program. I really want to move. I don't want the job just to move, but I want the job because I'm bored with my current job and I don't know how to make it better. The director told me that she would call me next week either way. I'm going to be holding my breath.
