So I had a job interview yesterday. I was there for 3 hours! The interview was at 10 am. The company has a store, as well as sells products through print catalogs and online. So I got there 1/2 hour early and checked out the store. Then I headed up to the corporate offices.
I talked with the person that is doing the hiring for 2 hours. I couldn't tell if she liked me or not. I'm horrible at interviews and since this is only my second interview in 11 years, I feel like I stumbled over my words a lot. She asked a lot of hard questions that I hadn't anticipated. If I don't get this job it definitely helped prepare me for my next interview.
Then at noon, the interview was over but she wanted me to take two tests. One was a personality test and the other was a timed test with math and grammar type questions. I got out of there at 12:50 and had to rush to work since I had to work a half day.
I sent a follow up thank you email and she responded with a follow up thank you email to me and that they will let me know once a decision is made.
This job would be perfect for me. It's exactly what I want to be doing and I think that it will open up some more opportunities. The company I work at now, I'm pretty much as far as I will ever go.
Crossing my fingers and hoping I hear something soon.
That's a very long interview. I hope you get it!!
ReplyDeleteHow exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteKeeping my fingers crossed. 3hrs is indeed quite excessive, in my opinion. Mine was about an hour, tops. Sending you lots of good luck.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she would have you take those tests if she was not interested?
