I KNOW what I want!
I know what it is that I want. I know where I want to live. I know what I want to do for my career. What scares me is that I don’t know if I can have what I want.
I want to stay here in Fargo. I know that. Yeah … I might complain about the weather during the winter and complain that there’s nothing to do at times. But all in all, I like Fargo. My friends (what few I have) are here. My family is near here. It’s not too big and it’s not too small. It’s just right … for me.
And I want to stay working in web development. I really enjoy doing that. Yeah … it’s something that started as a hobby, but it’s more than that now. I really like turning an idea from a client into something out there on the web that can help their company grow. I like working with the code. Yeah … I might not have any education in the field, but I have 2 years of very good experience at the company I was just at. Not to mention all of the other experience I’ve gained working on my own sites and the Avalanche site. That should count for something.
I’m just afraid that I won’t be offered one of the 2 positions I’ve already interviewed for here in Fargo. I really liked the one that I interviewed for. And the other one was a good opportunity too. I do have another interview tomorrow for a web programmer position. But that’s for a company where it would only be their site that I would work on (at least that’s what I think it is by looking at the job description and the company’s website) and not for a company who does websites for other companies.
There was that one in interviewed for in Bismarck. But I’m not convinced that that one would be the best fit for me. It seems like there would be more design involved. Not that I would mind all that much. But I prefer getting my hands dirty with the programming code. And I basically have no design experience. And I would be working with ASP instead of PHP. And I MUCH prefer working with PHP.
I just don’t know. I’m waiting to hear back from all 3 that I’ve interviewed with thus far and I’ve got that other interview tomorrow. I guess I’ll just have to wait and see what fate has in store for me. I just hope it is what I’m hoping for.
