These interviews are grueling!

I've been interviewing for the past few weeks and had a tough one Friday and a tough one today. Friday was 4.5 hours of me sitting in a stifling hot room (in my awesome suit, which I didn't think was so awesome after I started sweating) with 5 people grilling me. By the time I was done I wanted to go home and pass out lol.

Then today was just a phone interview, but the hiring manager made me nervous through the phone. How ridiculous is that? I think I psyched myself out because it was a big company that I like and the hiring manager was purposely asking me questions to trip me up. Probably not my smartest move Stick out tongue.

Don't get me wrong, I'm really thankful to have interviews! Just not a fan of the whole intimidation process. That part sucks.

Re: These interviews are grueling!

  • All of my job interviews have been laid back, but that reminds me of dental school interviews... that I did 2 times!
  • Don't worry, I'm sure you are doing great!  That's intense though... five on one?  And as if nervous sweating wasn't bad enough, they stuck you in a hot room.  Oy.

    I know what you mean about the phone interview.  I was away on vacation when they held admissions interviews for my grad program, and so they had to call me instead.  I almost think it's worse because you can't really convey yourself as well over the phone as in person.  I got nervous too!

    I hope you find something great that you love... I say you should treat yourself to something nice soon for all your efforts!

  • Janks, I'm sure school interviews are tough too! Definitely the same concept. I hope I'm done interviewing soon...for a long time haha.
  • Star, glad I'm not the only one. I kept telling myself, "chill out, they can't even see you!" But agree that may be part of the problem.

    Thanks for the encouragement Smile
