Back from Interview

Hello,
So I think it went pretty well. The guy I met with would be my boss, I only had 1 difficult moment. They would like someone with HTML experience. I only have a little amount of Dreamweaver experience, I explained that with every company I worked with, I would do the layouts and gather information for what we wanted on our websites, then give it to IT, who would write the codes and whatnot. Then I explained that I was a quick learner and was willing to take a class if necessary. He seemed to like that.

Everything else went really well, talked for nearly an hour. At the end I asked when a decision would be made and he said he was having trouble contacting a few candidates, so probably not until after the first of the year, but that he would call all candidates to let them know what the outcome is.

At the end, he also said that I had a Terrific Smile, and my personality seemed like it would be perfect for this position(Marketing Coordinator for Local University). Plus the salary is in the low to mid $30's, so I can't complain there.

Sounds like it went pretty well. Congrats! Do you do marketing now?

YEp. BBA in Marketing, Internship, followed by 2 years as a Marketing Assistant.

He seemed really impressed with my portfolio of past projects.:D

Awesome! I do marketing too. I am about to begin doing marketing for a University. Let me know how it goes.

Technically, I am the Marketing Manager for my division. However, its really more of a clerical/event coordinator job. Hence the reason I am leaving two weeks from tomorrow. I used to do Marketing for the Philly PGA Section and it was awesome. I learned how to use Dreamweaver on the job- it's realy not that hard if you have a good teacher and already have a little HTML background.
Hope you get it!!!!!

Thanks.

Luckily, the previous marketing coordinator moved to the Public Relations department, so she met up with me as well. She told me that as long as I had layout experience(which I do) then I'd be able to figure out Dreamweaver relatively quickly. I appreciated her being there because my prospective boss admitted he knew nothing about marketing (he handles Operations for the University) so it was easier to explain what training I did have.
