A week or so later, I noticed the job was still posted. I have no idea why, but considered it a sign of my good fortune and sent in my application right away.
It wasn't too long until I had a phone interview that seemed to go pretty well. Several weeks passed and then, late last week, they called me for an in-person interview.
I took the early flight to LA and spent the morning in the building's cafeteria getting ready for my interview. It's been such a long time since I was on this side of the interview table and it was unexpectedly nerve-wracking. By the time I walked out, I was second guessing each and every one of my answers.
Still, whatever happens, this was a really good experience.
