Had my interview. It went very well, but I don't think I'm getting the job. For the last half hour, we just sat around chatting about various things, and he came out and admitted that I was always a long shot, based entirely on my lack of experience. HOWEVER, he appreciated my interest in the position, and was receptive to the fact that I am shooting for a leadership position within this company in the future. He said there are definitely ways that we can bolster my skills and experience, and while I might not be branch manager outright this time around, he wants to put me on that path.
I always knew I was going to be a very tough sell, and honestly, I think it went better than I could have hoped.
