The VERY first Interview

Does your VERY 1st interview have a tendency to be the Worst?! (especially if it's an interview for your Dream School)

I remember my very first interview so vividly and I keep replaying it like a bad dream. I was completely nervous, shaky, and I let my nerves take over. Even though the interviewers were the kindness people you could ever asked for. It's just biggest fear of messing up that made it so nerve-wracking.

Do you guys remember your Very 1st Interview?

That makes the two of us. But mine wasn't as nerve-wrecky you as you sounded.

It was one of the gazillion times my sense of humor came to my aid😀

They'll expect you to be nervous I bet. Just keep your cool. I remember when I had a job interview for the technician job I felt like I was shaking. A week late I got the job and when I asked my interviewer if I was shaking and he said not at all. Just don't let your nerves get to you. Keep cool, calm, and collective. 😀

Yes, the first interview is the worst. Try to make it so your first choice school isn't your first interview. I was sweating and shaking.

My first interview was not great by any means, but my interviewer was horrendous, too.

I think I did very well, but I def had good cop bad cop and that was the first time I've ever experienced that method before. This one a-hole kept disagreeing with my answers EVEN WHEN I WAS ANSWERING THE "TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF" question! GOD!

Mine was pretty tough. It was one of my two top choice "dream" schools. I was trembling for most of it and my interviewer didn't smile really or wasn't particularly "welcoming". Once, he asked three questions in one question and I was so nervous that I had difficulty keeping track of where I was going with my answer and I probably rambled quite a bit. Then he asked me if I had applied to my state school and in the same question, asked why it wasn't my first choice lol I was like wtf- how do I answer that? (Because my state school- where I go now- was also a "dream" school for me) Then he teased me about where I am from and asked how I could function in the opposite climate. I made a couple jokes at the end and made him laugh, but only after he made me feel ******ed. I thought the interview overall went ok but I was really, really, really nervous until about halfway through it.

I wish I had a "dream" school. I got my bachelors degree a few years ago so I was tyring to find schools that I met most of their pre-reqs because I refused to take more classes without a guarentee of admission. I only found 3 schools that fit the bill in the whole northeast. Luckily I got in, but with a bachelors they're still making me take microeconomics at a CC. Lame. There was no way i was taking any more science classes so it was tough because alot of schools have some kind of A&P or micro lab- no thanks.
