I went for an interview for a job that I really want. I feel that it would be a good match for my experience and clinical interests, and I was very excited to interview. However, the interview ended up being very standard. They opened up by saying they are going to ask me a series of questions that they ask everyone. The interviewers took notes as I spoke, but did not offer much in the way of nonverbal (nods, smiles, uh-huhs, etc), so I became quite nervous and off my game. I felt wound up internally and fear that may have come across in my own nonverbals and tone of voice. I am worried that I blew it. It’s been a while (since internship) that I had such a structured interview. I am more used to conversational type ones at his point. I feel like I answered the questions and the content of what I said made sense; I just feel like they did not get a great sense of who I am, and I may have come across as a ball of anxiety. I guess I do not have a question. Just needed to vent that I likely shot myself in the foot for an exciting job opportunity. At least it renewed my sense of what structured interviews are like.
