My interview this morning with Le Cordon Bleu Culinary Institute (formerly Western Culinary Institute) went extremely well. The man who interviewed me seemed ready to bring out the paperwork and have me start immediately. He gave me a tour, introduced me to staff and had me sample some pound cake with ganache from the advanced patisserie class. But then I met with the vice president of admissions, a very kind woman who admitted that they actually don't have a position open at this point. They are interviewing to be proactive and ready when they do need someone new but they don't know when that will be. I was very disappointed. I think she could tell. But she said she'd call. Maybe tomorrow, maybe in a few months. crap.
You could look at it that I did all I could and got some great interviw practice and am closer to having a job than I was yesterday. But I have to admit I had been counting my chickens. And they were lovely chickens, Coq a vin chickens and chassuer chickens and fricassee chickens. Mostly chickens that represented income and benefits and some self-respect. So I'm going to keep looking and hope that they call. And in the mean time, I'm still planning the orange dye experiment, so there's that to look forward to.
