It was a quick interview this afternoon at the Killeen newspaper, and worthwhile. We discussed the many job openings the editor has in his newsroom, with the city editor job opening the one I'm interested in. We quickly discussed my qualifications, which he said were excellent, and how busy the newsroom is now with so many openings to be filled.
The editor told me I'm overqualified for the job, and that me walking in the door with my resume was better than finding a diamond in the rough. I agreed and told him I'm still interested in the job. He said he hoped to have the general manager call me, and maybe even interview me, before we fly out Monday afternoon.
With the Texas economy doing much better than California's, I plan to look at other papers in some of the metro areas to see if they have any openings.
And I now have my first Texas T-shirt, a simple one with the state flag on the front. I'll wear it tonight when we go out to an authentic Texas BBQ. I'm still looking for a good "Don't Mess With Texas" shirt.

Overqualified? interesting. Killeen is huge but I think you'll bring a different flavor to the newspapers over there coming from a rich, artsy-fartsy domain like the CCT.
And at the very least, I'm sure you'll be pulling for former A's 3rd base coach Ron Washington at the Rangers games.
