Well, I had my interview yesterday and now I'm just waiting for a response.
The office itself seemed rather nice- it is in a sprawling old country house right next to a canal and there are only about five or six people working for the company.
The problem is that it is a little fraught to get to- either two bus journeys or a train journey followed by a bus. Coupled with the fact that I'd only rarely visited Rugeley this meant I got lost. First I left the wrong exit at the station, meaning I was going completely the wrong way to the bus stop, then I waited on the wrong side of the road. Then of course I nearly went past my stop and when I did finally get there I had to walk up a rather long trackway to actually get to the office.
The work itself entails drawing large scale detailed drawings of facade panels and the like from architects' concept drawings. In effect, working out how to make the architects facade design reality. It is work I can do and the office uses computer programmes I'm rather good at.
So, do I want the job or not? Well, yes, in that it is related to what I've been studying. But at the same time it is a bit out of the way and I can't shrug off the feeling that if I'm offered it and accept that it means that my ambition to become an architect is, to all intents and purposes, dead. It isn't, of course, but that's just the feeling I get. Probably because it means I can't do my year out.
But if I am offered it- at least I'm doing something design and architecture-related, rather than just working in a shop somewhere.
