The iPod’s charging up — forgot to charge it earlier.  See, you need some music to maybe distract you while you wait.

I was confused at the instructions given: provide a list, but in essay format?  WAT.  If you notice anything wrong with the grammer — I was using a sign pen.  :) )

Job interviews are pretty much the same since 2006 — they still ask what you were, what you’ll do for them, what your top 5 all-time greatest strengths and weaknesses are (list in essay format), etc — it is interesting to note that different offices operate differently.  Of the 6/7/8-or so jobs that I’ve had, only 2 of them were in offices — and they were both different.

Of the last month, I’ve had several interviews — and the result?  Some feel just right, but can’t give what I’m asking for.  Some feel wrong, but are interesting in a way that I get to see how other offices operate.  Some are like girls who fail to call back.  :) )

I see it as self-help too — you get to appraise yourself in front of others (not that you’d need others to appraise yourself and prove your worth, you know that already) — you get to look back and wonder, “HOLY SHIT, DID I REALLY DO THAT?! / DID I REALLY PULL THAT OFF?!”

So tomorrow, I straighten my tie, step out into the world and maybe impress someone enough to maybe provide value for them (and their company).  Of the interviews that I failed — I think of them as a way for clearing up the position for someone else who wants/deserves that job more and can provide more value for it than I can.

Look at me, talking like an adult.  :) )

P.S.

If you have a Twitter account  — you could do me a solid by RT’ing this tweet.  I’d really appreciate it!  :D
