Interviewing At The Nightly Show – Part 4 (Getting the Interview)

October 31, 2015

Picking up from last time –

I got an email back! She said she actually was looking for an assistant editor and asked if I could come in to interview.

I emailed her back right away and asked if I could come on Monday. (I had a Tuesday – Saturday work schedule in LA, not that I couldn’t have taken off work for this, but I asked if Monday was good.)

When I didn’t hear within 24 hours, I wrote again saying if it wasn’t soon enough, I’d come earlier.

I’m pretty sure I even wrote a 3rd time when I hadn’t heard by Friday – basically begging to be interviewed. (Here we go again with the line between persistence and annoying. Thankfully in this situation, it worked.)

She told me Monday was fine. And I went in Monday late afternoon.

When I got to NY that morning, I did a little apartment searching – just in case I got the job. I figured I was there, might as well look at some stuff.

I got to the neighborhood with plenty of time to spare. I didn’t want to be late. In fact, I was way too wildly early. So, I went to this Europan food/bakery place on 57th and 9th. I had the most unhealthy lunch I’ve had in a long time – pizza and a cannoli. I’m not really sure why. I thought I was being New York-y or something. Probably should’ve wanted to feel better and lighter with a clearer brain before a big interview. But you know, whatever.

Finally, the time came for me to walk over there.

And this is where I’ll pick up next time.

I'd love to hear from you! So whaddya say?
