not feeling so curious...

I called Curiosity today to make sure they had received my resume, and maybe get an idea if they meant to call me wink wink.

The girl said they had already started doing mini interviews and were going to decide who they wanted in for real interviews this week. She said if I hadn't heard, then that probably meant I wasn't one of the ones getting called in for an interview.

But...then she said that I was in the first tier of candidates they considered and if things didn't work out with the others, they would look at the resumes again. I feel like she wouldn't have said that if it wasn't true.

I'm kind of cool with that. Mostly. They had said they wanted 3-5 years MINIMUM as a senior writer, and at most, I have two. But I read that as they liked my cover letter, and liked my work samples, but had a lot of people with more experience apply, and that is cool.

It also means that if they are serious about the type of person they want in there, they might call me anyway. That's not to sound egotistical, but I know marketing types. And not a lot of senior writers necessarily fit what they seem to be looking for (playful, interested in helping to develop kid/adult creativity through play and learning, interested in creating more "personal marketing," and not stuff tailored for mass audiences).

I won't hold my breath for it, but I'm at least flattered they considered me a first tier candidate, because I am clearly up against much senior writers.
