Open Post Time - Interviews are Scary

Interviews are scary.

As some may know, I graduate in May. I've been looking for jobs for a while, and I've applied for a few. One finally came back to me today, and I had an interview. First of all, suits are rough on me. The pants never seem to fit, the jacket never seems to be the right length. Although, I think I happen to look damn fine in a suit, they're always tough on me. I prefer jeans any day.

So, I get myself all cleaned up for it, and of course, I'm nervous as hell. As some of you have seen this week, I'm sick too. It's been off and on, and it was on today. That certainly doesn't help. So, I'm not at 100% and then I'm in a suit, trying to not get lunch all over myself. Then the time came for the actual interview.

It was with Weather Central, where I already work, but at a separate building. Of course, I didn't know where it was. After searching for the building, I went upstairs. After the interview began, I did two things wrong. With the question "What do you think is your greatest weakness?" I responded "I have a hard time explaining things to people." Of course, I'm applying for a customer service rep position that explains things to people for a living. Smooth move, huh? I was also asked "What does it mean to mount a drive?" I said it either meant to physicall y attached it to the rack or to hook it up to the computer. OF course, it meant to VIRTUALLY mount it. Terrific. Other than that. I learned some things today.

1. Always try to be yourself as much as possible. It makes life easier.
2. Don't wory... just do your best.

I'd love to expound, but I feel rather gross at the moment. Sickness is not cool.
