My Interview

I had an interview yesterday with a recruiting agency. It was my first-ever video call, believe it or not! I had downloaded Microsoft Teams to my phone but had never used it, so I found a tutorial on YouTube that explained how it worked, and then I allowed plenty of time in advance of the interview to get ready and to make sure I had a good place to sit where I could prop up my phone so I wouldn't have to hold it and that the lighting was okay.
The lady was super nice, and despite its being my first video interview, it went off without a hitch. Of course this was just for a staffing company and not an actual job, but after getting a feel for what I could do and what kind of position I wanted, she said she had a job in mind for me that would be interviewing people next month. It's just a temp job, but it goes from August to December, so that's a good steady income for a while.
Also, temp jobs can end up becoming permanent, if the employer likes you. My last temp job was supposed to be for one day, and I ended up being hired and working for the company for eight years!

That sounds great.
You didn't have Skype before? Microsoft Teams used to be Skype.

Hey, that sounds very positive! It doesn’t surprise me you impressed someone so much they kept you for the following eight years. Did she give you any details on what the August to December job was doing? That’s a big chunk of time covered for the holidays. That’s always positive.
