Interviews

So with that, I've had 5 interviews this year already... One of them I got an unpaid internship from, I didn't get the job for another, and I'm still waiting on three of the other ones.

I had two job interviews today. Inititally I was expecting only one - in person. I wake up this morning to realize that I will be late for school if I don't get up soon. While laying in bed, I check my email on my ipod. To my surprise, I get an e-mail from one of the jobs I applied for the previous nights. It was just an email stating the location of the position, and thanking me for my resume. I wanted another email, from an employer who I was supposed to be interviewed by on Sunday, but I couldn't go, because well, the commute would have been too long and we had a blizzard the night before (which I had no idea the snow would melt on Sunday...), but that e-mail didn't come... at least not in the morning.

I make my way to school, and realize I get a missed call. Turns out it's from one of the employers... however it's a long distance call, so I listen to the voicemail, hesitant to call back. I eventually call them back, but they were out of the office. I leave them an email, they call me again, but I was in class so I called them back when I had a break.

The interview was interesting, I didn't expect to have a phone interview on the spot. It was more of them going over my experience, and abilities/skills... I had to interupt them in the middle of it since I had to head back to class. I got sent some surveys to fill out for them. Hopefully it goes well. Not so sure if I really want that job now, even though it pays more. The position seems like it might be boring... but the location is nearby, and the hours are reasonable.

Then after classes, I was going to head home, but I decided to check my e-mail once more. Got an e-mail from the other employer I was waiting to hear from. Turns out they were able to do an interview today, so I went ahead and attended the interview. It went well, at least I thought it went well. The interviewer was very easy going and she was really nice. I feel like I want to work at this establishment more because it actually has more skills needed compared to the other job. This job is in the food industry so I'd definitely learn a lot of things about preparing food that would definitely help in the long run. The pay may not be as good as the other job, but the location is in a place I'm familiar with, and I love their products.

I'll have to see which one gets back to me first. If the food one gets back to me first, I'll take it. As long as there are hours available for me. If the other job gets back to me... well, I guess I'll take it, but only after I've asked some more questions about the detail of the position, what it's like, how challenging it could be, and how much fun/comfortable it is to do. Once those questions are answered, I'll make a decision. But yea, I think I want the food job now... lol. Although, it requires some heavy lifting, which I may not be able to do without assistance.

Other than those kind of interviews, I've got some interviews I need to do for my unpaid internship... which is filming interviews where I interview people. Ah, lots of work to do.. busy busy.


...excuse any typos/spelling errors/grammatical errors/errors in general in this post. It's almost 2AM. I'm so tired.
