Tonight Chris had his interview with Bejing scheduled and was ready to go. Half an hour before the interview was going to start, he received a call from Burbank during his Facetime call with Ben. Enthusiastically, Chris returned the call and it was the HR recruiter from LucasFilm informing Chris that they were extending him the internship! Halfway through the phone call, Chris kindly put it on speaker so I could share in the excitement of the moment, but I was so confused as to who was on the line that I didn't do a good job of celebrating in the moment... more like Chris kept shooting me ecstatic glances and I kept mouthing, 'Cool! ...who is this...?'
He filled me in as soon as he was off the phone and we shared a moment of triumphant party dancing before we hurriedly prepared for his interview with China. He has until Friday to accept the internship, and since we already had the China interview set up, we figured we would see what this job was all about before we gave the final word to LucasFilm that we would take the internship.
After a positive experience with the Bejing interview, we had to decide between the two.
...which was easy. LUCAS FILM!! In California. Near family. And Star Wars?! How cool is that?!
Bejing isn't completely ruled out. There is a possibility of remote pipeline work or possible previous work in the future. But for the next six months, we will be in CA.
It is very nice to have an idea where we will be in the next few weeks. The cardboard box alternative did not seem appealing.
