For those of you who don't already know this, I hate interviews! They seem like such a waste of time!
I had one today & I was there for an hour & ten minutes! Holy long. That seems a little bit unnecessary! It went well, they liked me, & I liked them - it was just long. I don't understand why it needs to be that long! They asked questions like "Name 2 attributes that are important for a supervisor to have & 2 that you dislike in a supervisor, but they can't be opposites." Whaaa?
They don't really get to know the "real" me because I am in my "interview mode" & on total best behavior. [Not to say I'm not always a lovely, smiling gem.] That's fine & dandy for ten, maybe fifteen, minutes - but over an hour? That is a lot of work! I hate the feeling of being looked over with a fine-tooth comb! Come on people, can't you just love the real me? The girl that likes to wear jeans & a t-shirt? No? You need to fancy me? Ok, fine - but I'm hating every second of it!
I had two people interviewing me today & it was a little much. They'd take turns asking questions & they'd both secretly write down my answer & their thoughts on my answer. That's a lot of pressure. Two people judging me! I handled it like a champ though, if I don't mind saying so myself - & I don't =)
I actually really hope I get this job. It's at a bank. There are great benefits. Good pay. Nice people. Pretty good hours. Closed on Saturdays - which is so rare for banks, & I love me some Stephy Saturday time! We've been praying for me to be able to find a good job, & who knows - this one could be the winner. If it's not...I don't think I can handle any more idiotic and/or long interviews!!! It may be the death of me.

No seriously! "Whats your grandma's favorite sandwich and why?" "If you could be a color, what color would you be? And why?" I've had some dooseys of interviews in my life and I mean crazy!! I know that the right job will come along and hopefully you won't have to jump through a million hoops to get it!!
