The most interesting part of my job interview today came when the interviewer was describing the particulars of the position I applied for. One of the functions will be to plan an outdoor summer concert series in a local arts district (how this job continues to be more and more perfect for me, I do not know). The way she was describing it, she is looking for off-the-wall ideas for musical fusion to happen in this concert series. “For example,” she said, “We might talk to some Symphony violinists to come and play outdoors, but instead of Bach or Mendelssohn, we’d have them play hip-hop.”
“That’s perfect,” I said, genuinely excited. “Because one of my favorite hobbies is singing rock music operatically.”
She wrote that down on my resume. Other than my salary history, it was the only thing she wrote down during the interview. I can’t tell if this is good or bad.
Anyway, I am supposed to find out next week if I’m still a candidate. Obviously, Internets, I will keep you updated. Because you are my BFF.
