Ok, so I rocked the interview.
Yep, it was pretty stinking great, I gotta tell ya. First, I had my portfolio all put togeather and looking great,
(Booya Kendra! Heh heh.) but we didn't even look at it for the first thirty minutes of the interview. There were the two of them, one was the layout/designer guy, and the other was the lady I set the interview up with. Mrs. Second in Command of the entire joint. They started by telling me all about their company. The following is a reenactment. The conversation has been altered to protect the innocent from rampant boredom.
Them - This is what our company is like
Me - Cool, that's what I'm like, dawg!
Them - Awesome, G. These are the programs that we use
Me - Cool, those are the programs I use, fool!

I'd like to note here that this company is doing just great with the programs. They're making the leap into InDesign, they run totally on MacPower. This is the point of the interview where we all sat around and mutually congratulated each other on our almost unbelievable wisdom in choosing the awesome Apple.
Ookay. Not only were we already getting along swimmingly but we made small talk as well. This somehow brought up the little factoid that I live in a pretty rough part of town. The Head Lady perked up, and asked which street, and who the pastor of my church is. When I told her, she got really excited and told me that her daughter had voulnteered at the feeding program we had last summer. (Free lunch every single day! Whew!)
DING!
Using my lightning fast reflexes of the mind, (a mind powered by Apple) I informed her that I had been there every day and in fact knew her daughter, because I had been in charge of the youth program.
Oh, the ease of conversation after that!

Anyways. To make a long story slightly longer with a summing up of the parts, I handled myself well, was recommended by her personal printer, knew her daughter, know all the programs that they use, and let them know that every part of their job sounded like a perfect fit with my personality and skill level. Which it does, surprisingly enough.
Half of the job (Most of it, starting off) is going to be researching and finding a printer for the company to use. They want to do this because they are just now starting to produce their own products created all in house, and will need me to contact printers all across the US, and even into the GLOBAL COMMUNITY! Seriously, she told me that they have feelers out in China, and met with people in New Jersey and such places, then asked me if traveling sometimes would be a problem.
Ha ha! How little she knows me!
I made sure to let her know that it was no problem at all.

Sigh.

I want this job.
