Feeling Fatalistic
Jan. 22nd, 2014 05:31 pmMy first interview went well. They asked me a billion questions and I did okay on them. I asked a few questions that apparently got right to the heart of the issues.
The second interview was not so well. I did a very mediocre job on their questions, and my questions were just okay.
Afterwards I felt kind of like skipping in a "Yea! It's over!" sort of way.
By the time I got home, I had decided that in the second interview I gave the impression of having no experience working with people and no experience with presentations. My internal response to that feeling? Screw it. I don't care anymore. I don't even care if I get this job or not. Either way, I plan never to do another interview again.
And waiting for me at home was a letter explaining that the tax company is not going to offer me a job after all based on the findings of the background check. Which they did not even get because of the typo on my Social Security number. I'm not sure why they had me correct my SSN when they were just going to ignore it anyway.
In conclusion, I want donuts.
P.S. Yes, I should write thank-you e-mails to the interviewers that will help defray any bad impressions, and my reference is actually one of the three people in the second interview, so overall I think my chances are still quite good.
