interviews are worse than blind dates.

I've been on more interviews in my life than dates.

I can count on my hands and feet and would still need extra fingers and toes to count the amount of interviews I've had in my lifetime.

I was thinking about this the other day and with the number of interviews I've had, that also comes with some good stories.

Here are just some tid bits...

- On my first job interview, the guy that was interviewing me asked me "If I was to go out and look in your car right now would it be messy?"

- Have you ever cussed in an interview?  I have.  More specifically using the word "sh*t."  I got the job.

- During an interview, the man interviewing me told me that they had never fired anyone before except for a woman that was on drugs. Thanks for clearing that up.

- I went on an interview one time where the guy looked like he was on drugs.  He was so skinny but was wearing the biggest suit.  His "receptionist" was also watching TV at her desk on one of those old school 8" TV's.

- Have you ever called a person interviewing you by the wrong name? I have.  I almost got that job.

- I had a guy interviewing me and he said "okay" after everything I said.  Which would have been fine if his "okay" didn't sound like that of the guidance counselor on South Park.  I couldn't look at him for fear of laughing.

Last year between July and November I interviewed for 5 different jobs and talked to over 20 different people.  It was exhausting, but I got a job out of it.

I guess the moral of the story is...if you need interview advice, I'm your girl.  Or if you need to vent about your bad interview I bet I have a story to make you feel way better.
