I just got back from my interview! I feel that it went very well, and I am pleased. ^_^

The job itself sounds fascinating, which is always a plus. The interviewer (my potential boss) seemed super nice and as a bonus, she actually works in the lab and understands the methods and processes. This would be such a huge improvement for me it’s not even funny.

She liked my blue hair, though I did make sure to tell them I’d happily dye it a natural colour to comply with any dress code regulations, though she said I could dye it any colour I liked if I worked there because it’s more fun and she doesn’t have rules about that. ^_^

The awesome part was, when I gave her my reference list and letter of recommendation*, she glanced at the name on the letter and said she knows the lady that wrote it!! Then we had a “small world!” moment and everyone was happy. ^_^

I will also hear back next week if I get it or not. I’m quite impressed that she’ll actually contact the people who don’t get the job, because I think that’s a very nice thing to do (and also a great opportunity to get some interview feedback!).

Please cross your fingers for me!!

* = I give both because I think the letter sounds very good, and also because the awesome boss that wrote that letter for me is no longer on my reference list because the plant closed down in 2004 and I haven’t been able to contact her since then. Not that I haven’t been trying.
