Surprise Interviews -- Like Surprise Buttsecks?

[Sentama Lin]

So, I just got a phone call and an email message from Brave New Media (looking at their portfolio and comments they've designed stuff for Malt-o-Meal, WB, and other things), a design firm with offices in Minnesota, California, and Greece. They want to interview me tomorrow. I just turned in my resume yesterday. Now, I know that they're most-likely rushing this interview because it's Thanksgiving week and not because of my skill but I'm still nervous.

I've never had experience working in an office environment (I've had some fairly light clerical duties) and yet they're willing to see if I do have the balls to work for their firm. I'm so nervous about it because they seem so big and intimidating, and the woman who I talked to seemed like the no-play-just-work kind and I'm so hoping that I don't mess it up somehow. But this could be the break I'm looking for; it would officially make my weeks 35-40 hour work weeks.

Soooooooooooooooo Neeeehhhhhhrrrrrvvvvoooooouuussssseeee.

Slap your balls and drink 5-Hour Energy.

You'll do fine, kid. ;D

Well, I've never had an interview, so I don't know what to say on that...
But good luck, Linny! *good luck hug... okay, it's just an excuse for a hug, deal with it =P *

Congratulations on getting an interview and good luck to actually get through it. I'm sure you'll do well. Everyone's gets nervours about interviews. smile

When I applied for my first job, I went in to hand in my resume and they asked me to come back the next day for an interview. Mind, a check out job really doesn't compare to what you're going for but it was my first ever interview for my first ever job so I was as nervous as hell.

Interviews aren't new to me at all, but this is the first time that I've felt really really nervous about it. I mean, I'm capable of doing teacher interviews, but I feel a bit fish-out-of-water with this one because it's a clerical position. Not that it's that difficult or anything; I'm essentially doing clerical and secretarial duties. But it's something new.

Make sure to bring a pillow for your knees.

*high fives Xikrai*

biggrin  

[Sentama Lin]

...lolwhut? Why would I need a pillow?  

[Jafthasleftthebuilding]

Lolwhut indeed. ;D

So, after the interview, I just got what you two meant.

Bastards.

I wouldn't do that for 11 USD/hour.

You'll do perfectly fine, Kasu. I feel nervous like that every time they call for a random personnel inspection here on base. I get all shaky and crap. It's difficult to know exactly what to say and do just as it's hard to keep your uniform straight, pressed, and squared away at all times. -_-; I feel you. stressed

*Steps in late* :O You've had it? How did it go?

What about for $11.50?

Great way to start the day. 3nodding

The person I'm working for is a female. talk2hand

Lots of money would need to be paid for that kind of thing, Jafty.

As for the interview it went swimmingly. Though I was: a) way overdressed -- everyone dressed casual (not business casual but casual-casual) and b) probably blabbered on a bit too long. But I sounded natural and she seemed interested in me working. She said for sure I'll be called back for second round of interviews. :3

Yay for Lin!
