Interview

I had a job interview this morning. Well, it was a phone interview. I applied last week with Wake Forest University in Winston-Salem, NC to be their new International Studies Advisor. Its a job that I want, just not necessarily in the location that I was hoping for. I mean I'll take the job if its offered to me but I was hoping for someplace more Metropolitan. I'm tired of small town living.

The interview went well, but was short (only 17 minutes). I answered their questions fairly well and only used "um" I believe three times, which is of course three times too many. Its the first interview that I've had. It bothers me that I'm sitting here in my Mom's house alone on a Wednesday afternoon. I'm bored, I need something. My self-confidence has been shot although it did receive a small booster when they called me for the interview appointment yesterday. Now having done the interview, I feel like I did a crap job after a friend of mine pointed out how short the interview was. This is of course, just the pre-interview and any final decisions will require the applicant to go to Wake Forest before they make their selections. Either way, its bothersome. It's been four months since graduation, I"m half-way past the seven month rule.

Still no word from the local employers that I've applied with. It's annoying. I feel as though even if i can't get a job and I'm forced to apply at say Starbucks or Borders (nothing wrong working there in itself at all) that they won't take me. There is such a thing as being over qualified. Employers can usually snif it out when an employee will bounce for the next best thing, which I would.

Job hunting sucks.
