vw, what kinds of questions were asked? I think my interview with the photo database was quick, and I got that one pretty handily.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

vw, what kinds of questions were asked?
What do you want to do with your degrees?
What attracted you to this job?
Are you a self-starter? If so, give me an example.
What do you look for in a company?
Why are you looking for a weekend position?

This is why I hate interviewing for office jobs. Apparently "no" is not an acceptable answer.

"This bar smells like kerosene and stripper tears."
Those sound like pretty standard questions. Why do you think it didn't go well? I know you said it was short. Did you not feel like you answered the questions fully? Maybe it was short because they knew they had their girl.

I would guess that someone interviewing 5 people doesn't have someone pre-selected, so I don't necessarily think short means that it wasn't a real interview. That may just be all she thinks she needs to know. Did she give you enough time to ask all the questions you wanted to ask?

Mostly just 'cause it was short. I think I answered the questions fully. Oh, she also asked what my former positions would bring to this one. I think I answered that one really well. I felt like I talked a lot about school, but that was partially brought on by her, so...Plus, I think it would be to their benefit to have a student...someone who has several years left in school and wouldn't be looking for anything else for that period of time.
She did seem to just be kind of quick in her explanations and stuff. Maybe that's a typical interview for her. I'm just used to interviewing for an hour and seeing more people, I guess.

whee! Raquel is back!

She could just be a crappy interviewer, vw, or wicked busy. That was me, when I would interview people.

Yeah...the more I think about it, the more I think it went ok. It was just short. That can't be all bad. I smiled a lot, laughed a bit and was relaxed. If I don't get it, well, then it wasn't meant to be.
I just sent off the thank you note. Hopefully that will put me back in her mind and help her remember the good parts.

Hi Raquel!! Yay for access to the internets.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
Yay, Raquel! Glad you're back!
vw, the interview sounds like it went great. I wouldn't worry about it.
Heather, your boss sounds like a complete toad. (Okay, I know you said that his isn't always a toad, but he was about that.)
I ordered these shoes from Zappos.com yesterday. They were delivered this morning. How cool is that? And, they are so comfy.
