So... as a joke I kind of applied for a position. The thing is, it was a great position. Basically a security director for a huge entity. I cannot say who it is. Let's just say that if I get the job, I still cannot say who it is in here.
It comes with actually a great salary and benefits. It's a type of job that you get once you're over 50 in my field and have a long and strong background. I do have a strong background, but it's not long. I sort of played the whole expert, young and talented card. That I'm looking for the long haul thing and that I'll bring a lot of value with me to the organization. Basically that they most likely would buy my services, but if they hire me, it'll be a lot cheaper (I didn't actually say that).
So now I got a call asking me to come for an interview and that the list is short (they screened people out pretty hard), since it is a high position.
I'm sort of panicking because I WANT the job now. It was sort of a joke but I really do want it now because it would enable me to move into more partner/owner-role in my company and do this thing as a stable and high paying job as a priority. Not only that but it's a great position! Like I'm talking hugely great position, a career making position. Like a position I thought would be awesome if it was my last one before retirement. But there's an opportunity to get in NOW.
So the interview. How do I do it? I should be perfect. It's a security director position. The organization is huge and very security intensive. Its budget is probably not even in tens of millions of hundreds of millions (the organization). I can't sleep. I can't stay put. I'm extremely nervous.
