interview blues

[orangerful]

Well, I had my second interview for the YA Services position today. Apparently they narrowed it down from however many original applicants they had to just 3 of us. I think I was the last interview of the day. I arrived way too early because I was nervous about the 895 tunnel around lunchtime, construction, and so on. So I ended up on the other side of the tunnel around noon...and my interview wasn't until 2:30. But I did want to check out the Bel Air Branch since I'd heard so much about it. Now I'm sorta upset that I looked because OMG SO AWESOME! My mouth was hanging open the whole time. It's HUGE. And there are all these great places to sit and read. And they rent video games! So nice. If I don't get the position, I'm so asking them to keep my information on file for the next time they have an opening at that branch.

Treated myself to a Happy Meal before the interview and snagged a Padme bobblehead. I hope her wobbly neck is a sign of good luck!

Finally just went to the admin office at 1:30 because I was sick of sitting in my car. They gave me the questions in advance and I wrote copious notes. Since I was there early, they came and got me when the previous interview was over. I saw the person that went before me and for some reason that made me really nervous. I don't know why. Perhaps just seeing the competition...anyway, my nerves went a bit crazy. Hopefully I didn't talk too fast. I managed to slip in the things I forgot to mention at the last interview but still managed to drive away going "DOH!" about other stuff.

They said they would call and let me know either way relatively quickly.

I think the fact that you were in the final three is a good sign :)

GOOD LUCK!!!

Good luck!

Those "DOH" thoughts are so typical of interviews. You can never remember all the good stuff, or get it in.

Yes yes yes. Everybody feels that way after an interview. Just tally up all of the good things you did slip in and don't worry so much about the others.

Oh, sounds so awesome! I will miss you terribly though! (Because, honestly, I will be surprised if they *don't* try to steal you!) =(
