He told me that the only reason he'd stop short of calling me the perfect fit for the job is because he doesn't think I have as much printing knowledge as he'd like. BUT... he had me take a few tests, and I'm fairly confident in my answers. He said he needs to talk to his boss, but he also gave me a copy of the employee handbook "just in case things work out."
It's a very small office, a branch of a larger company. If I get the job, it would be the sales guy, me, and a part-time person who would do some of the same stuff I do, but a few more menial things (from the way it sounded). The only problem I'd have with that is scheduling vacations and time off - and you don't get actual vacation for a while, either. I looked over the handbook briefly and I'm not sure if Direct Deposit is available, either. Oh, and the health coverage is medical only - no dental or vision, so I'd have to make sure I squirrel money away into a "teefers-n-peepers" fund of sorts. If I'm offered the position, I think hubby and I will both be taking advantage of the vision coverage I currently have post-haste (eye exam fully covered, $25 for glasses).
But it's 5 minutes from my house, and it sounds like they're willing to under a dollar less an hour than I make now, which means I may actually come out ahead of the game. I'll more than likely break even at the very very least.
I'm cautiously optimistic.
