the real world.

today i found how terrifying the real world can be.

halfway through my trip to central america, i was notified that my internship was opening up positions...SCORE! through multiple technologies, i sent them my resume and was bummed to find that they were hiring for the next week and interviews had already passed. my bummed-out-ness ended quickly as inside info told me that they were hiring for another position. i quickly threw a cover letter together and applied for the job--not knowing what it was (mistake number 1). i heard back right away and set up an interview.

the interview quickly approached and i realized how idiotic i was for not finding a description of the position. i scraped together what little info i could and quickly researched answers that might semi pass for legitimate.

this morning i woke up excited about the prospect of not being thrown into unemployment. i put on a big girl suit and swaggered over to my interview. imagine my horror when i was suppose to meet with the CEO of the company...uhh what was this job for again? "so, we werent going to invite you in but you've volunteered here and we thought why not? so, sell it." umm, well, funny thing...i dont know what this job entails.... "tell me when you think this job is?" uhh...

after 5 painful minutes, the CEO grabbed the VP of the company who asked me what i thought the postiion was, i quickly stumbled through an answer. "thats the worst answer ive ever heard. thats about 3% of the job." great. "tell me something difficult about your current position"--honestly my answer to this question was so rushed that i don't remember what it was. "thats an interesting answer, don't know if i'd go with that". the interview quickly finished after that and i grabbed my bag and was running for the door but not before hearing the VP say to the CEO "yeah, now i see what you were talking about..." shit talked at my own interview.

too late to register for fall quarter?
