From one opportunit to another

So, the interview today didn't go exactly as planned, but it definitely wasn't a failure. Here's the story... I get there 15 minutes early. Which by the way, why is that when you get somewhere 15 minutes early, that's when the person decides until the exact time of the meeting to come out and get you but other times when you get there only 2 minutes early, they act like they've been waiting for you?? Does this happen to anyone else?? Anyway, so I get there and proceed to wait until my scheduled meeting time. The woman comes out to get me and we go back and start the whole interview process. I was feeling really good because she honestly seemed interested in me and she seemed to like me a lot, so that gave me some confidence. At the end of the interview, she told me that it was unfortunate, but she wasn't going to be able to hire me as the Creative Service Producer because I didn't have enough experience... Well, that was a bummer obviously. But then she started talking about how maybe getting me some experience as a Freelance Producer would be the best thing! (for those who don't know, freelancing is when you are employed but you are not salaried and it's somewhat under-the-table) So, I'm thinking to myself, "Hey, this is way better than getting turned down for a job!" Moving on, she tells me that the Freelance Director is on vacation and that next week, she will talk to her and see if they can work something out for me to freelance for them. She didn't promise me anything, but it definitely sounded more than likely that I will be freelancing for Buckeye Cable! I'm excited even for the prospect of this job! I know it's not a leadership position or anything like that, but hey, I gotta start somewhere, and at least I'd be making money while getting good experience in the field I actually want to make my career in! So with enough good luck I will be working at Buckeye Cable very soon!
