The First Interview
Well yesterday morning after having taken my grandkids to school (in my jammies btw). I came home did the nice relaxing bath and washed my hair. I primped and powdered, perfumed donned my power suit. Printed out my resume' on thick expensive paper I might add. Made sure M&M's water and food dishes were full, jumped in the silver bullet and drove downtown to the County's HR offices. Have I told you how many years it's been since I've been job hunting? It's been well over 25 years and that's no joke. Well I walked into the office and was the only applicant there, so I get the stack of forms and applications from the receptionist sit at the table, pull out my reading glasses and proceed to share my life with these people. After about half an hour I'm finished with that portion of the task turn in my paperwork and now I need to take a typing test. It has been as long since my last typing test as it has been since my last job hunt. So I go into this little room and practice for a couple of minutes to get familiar with the keyboard, and take the test. I amazed myself I gave them twice the words per minute than they required with near perfect accuracy. Then they did the interview. I was calm and poised and made eye contact, asked lots of questions. I got the feeling I made a very good impression BUT it will be 2 weeks from tomorrow before I know anything. S
