I have three job interviews tomorrow. For someone who has had less than five job interviews in his entire life, this is fairly daunting. It becomes more daunting when I start to think of all the possible nightmare scenarios that could play out…
Interviewer: Let’s get started! If you were a plant, would you be a bryophyte or a tracheophyte?
Adam: I guess… a tracheophyte?
Interviewer (putting away my application): Oh… well, I think that’s all I needed to know…
I know that’s unlikely. I mean, really, what kind of person chooses a moss over a vascular plant? Do I want to work for that person?
The more likely horror story would be me confusing which job I’m interviewing for, since all of my interviews are in the same building and within a fairly short span of time. I’m just going to hope that my not-yet-senile brain will effectively handle that one on its own.
At this point, I would ask you, dear reader, to share some of your fun and not-so-fun experiences with job interviews, but I’m afraid that will have to wait. I’ve spent the past few days building this website, so that it could be live in time for me to give out the URL to potential employers, but I’ve yet to build the comment section properly. It should be up within a week. Be patient. (The Archives and Category sections are still works in progress as well, but they’re not very important, until I get a few more posts under my belt.)
To be honest, most of this post was a way to let you know why there are no comments yet. Now that I have, I’m gonna go off and get ready for bed. I’m not my pleasant self without my usual five hours of sleep!
