03-AUG-22 A Very Nice Wednesday Phone Call

[DiveMilw]

A couple of weeks ago I think I mentioned an interview I had for a job in one of our Policy and Procedure groups.  I didn't get the job and that is OK.  I just got some information, from the hiring manager, about the person who got it and she has some work background I don't which makes her better suited for the job. 

I wanted some feedback about my interview and the manager was kind enough to meet with me (via Microsoft Teams) this morning.  I now know I need to pull my thoughts together better as I come across more nervous than I actually am.  One of the questions he asked me was how would I describe space to a five year old?  He said he'd rate me 12 out 10 for my answer.  I used words a five year old would know and brought the explanation down to level they would understand.  He also have me some advice regarding salary as I try to move from a Union represented job into a management position.  It was a really good talk.
