One of my interviews today went so well that I am suddenly very excited about a job I wasn't thinking I would be too into...and I am really hoping for a callback. The other interview went like this:
Interviewers: "Why do you want to work for us?"
Me: "Blah blah blah practical experience, blah blah blah really interested in the things you're doing, blah blah blah make a difference."
Interviewers: "What attracted you to applying to our organization?"
Me: "Uh....blah blah blah practical experience, blah blah blah really interested in the things you're doing, blah blah blah make a difference."
Interviewers: "What do you hope to get out of a summer experience with us?"
Me: "Well...as I said before...blah blah blah practical experience, blah blah blah really interested in the things you're doing, blah blah blah make a difference."
This goes on for like 13 questions...all of them slightly different and yet making it possible for me to only give the same answer over and over. Finally, this happened:
Interviewers: "Well, what's the one thing you want us to remember about you from this interview?"
Me: "I'm not sure what I'd like you to remember, but I think you're gonna remember that I'm the girl that said 'blah blah blah practical experience, blah blah blah really interested in the things you're doing, blah blah blah make a difference' fifteen times in a row."
Interviewers: "Oh."
I don't think they were amused by my half-hearted attempt to make light of the fact that I spent 30 minutes with them and really didn't feel like they got to know me or that I got to know them very well. Oh well.
Cross your fingers and hope that I get a callback from the morning place. They were awesome.
