Post 55: Interviews and Nerves

While my résumé certainly isn't blank, I have not had many interviews. In fact, I've only had two. Wow. When I write that out I am truly aware of how shocking that is. I mean, two. That is so few. (Haha, that rhymed.)

Right now, I am waiting for more my third interview to start and I am very nervous. I mean, I've only had two interviews. And one was more a formality than anything else, I technically already had the job. So, the butterflies are aflutter. 

My first interview, I was really nervous as well. But it was really easy. It was to be a cashier at Wild Rivers over the summer. It was a mass interview process. Basically, hundreds of people who wanted to interview were given a time. They check-in in a massive group and then that group slowly is moved from place to place. I think three hours passed between the time arrived and the time I actually interviewed. Lots of time to build up stress,  but quite a bit of time to just reign it back in as well.

The interview itself went well, I am blessed with a natural talent in getting people to talk about themselves. So, I think he said just as much about himself as I said. We even had a chance to talk about his kids and how he moved to California. 

But this is a group interview, so I don't even know how this will work. My step-sister went to a group interview but I suspect this will be different.

So, my interview is over now! 

I didn't get to finish this beforehand because I had to finish filling some things out and then I got to talking to this really nice girl who was also there for the interview. Her name is Natasha, she seems really cool. She is going to be Psych major with a Phil minor. 

So, hope I got the job. Hope she got the job as well, it would be cool to work with her. There was another girl who sat on my right, whose name I wish I could remember (I should have written it down) who it would be interesting to work with her. She started a club called the "Sushine club" because there is a rumour that my Univ. has a high number of student suicides and she and the friend she started it with want to help make people happy to try and dispel the rumour.

It isn't true, by the way. There aren't more suicides or anything. It is okay. It is just an urban legend. There are quite a few floating around about my University.

Anyway, the interview...I think it went well. I think I answered the questions well, I feel like I connected with the interviewer, I got some laughs, and I think I came off as smart, capable, and interested in the opportunity.

Time will tell, but I really hope I got it, 

Fingers crossed!
