just had my final interview with my manager. i am suddenly considering the fact that i won’t get the job. a friend of mine gave me some pointers pre-interview. he said “think quickly, speak slowly.”
that so didn’t happen.
there were some curveball questions, not the typical interview ones i was expecting, and the answers weren’t coming to me quickly. so to fill the gap during which i was thinking, i babbled. two words: VERBAL DIARRHEA. i was mortified as i listened to the salad of words that poured out of my mouth (and i could do nothing to stop it). i had to somehow try to pull it all together at the end to make it all cohesive but i don’t know if did that in every case. my manager would contribute during my soapbox with “mm hmm” and “yes” and “very good” but that doesn’t mean i’m making sense. i do that to the Brit sometimes when he’s talking about advanced user forms in excel.
i thought i’d feel relieved to get this over with but i’m still tense and stressed out. i’m left to contemplate my crap-on-a-stick answers and wonder if i really did muck it up or if i’m being neurotic.
they will make their decision early next week.
i need a drink. badly. now.
