marmalade and toast
I think I'm running out of places to interview. Yesterday, I went on an interview with a city agency that already interviewed me… in February. What is going on? Have they run out of people to see so they’re re-interviewing everyone or am I just that unmemorable? Shouldn’t they have a record somewhere that they had already seen me and they didn’t want me? That's poor organization – your tax dollars at work everyone. I don’t think I’m going to get a call back this time either. Hmmm… getting rejected twice by the same people can’t be good for an already bruised ego. Although, I think my ego is very robust and healthy considering all the rejections. Anyway, I take every interview that comes my way even when I know that I don’t want to work for them just so I can practice. If I don’t practice then my mental filter gets weak and I scare the interviewer with my chattiness and honesty. That’s what happened during my very first interview when I started this whole looking for a job adventure – frightened the interviewers with my honesty. Suffice it to say, they didn’t call me back for a second interview. I wouldn't have either...
