Interviews. :cry: Options

[*Kathleen*]

Okay, so I've been a lazy-ass bum with no job for SO long now (November, actually ). JCPenney was the first and last place I worked at, but the thing is I NEVER had to be interviewed - my best friend easily got me the job. So now that I'm currently looking for one again, I actually have to go through interviews. And for some reason, I get so nervous when I do so, even though it's no big deal. I used to be the same way before debate rounds, even though I was prepared. On top of that, they always bring up my past employer.. and then ask why I quit (which is understandable), but it's a touchy subject for me because they treated us like shit when I worked there, and one time I even broke down in tears in my manager's office. So gaah. I don't know.. then they ask stupid questions, like, "What do you think you'll bring to the team?" WTFIDON'TKNOW. I'm applying to be a greeter.. I wouldn't expect them to bring anything to a team. Blarrgh. I don't know.. have any tips or good answers for next time I get an interview? Or just.. have any horrible interview stories? It'd make me feel a bit better.

Mmm, I figure it doesn't matter if i'm nervous anymore because my mother doesn't want me to have a job either. She wants me to focus on school. She'd always tell me to ask her if I need/want anything. Ugh, I kinda want to feel responsible for myself too you know.

LUCKY. I keep asking my mom if I can just concentrate on schoolwork, but she's bent on me getting a job. Both of my parents kept nagging me this entire summer, calling me a bum while I'm researching colleges and whatnot.

Ewww, I'll have to do the same thing pretty soon. I've never had a job, but it shouldn't be too hard, right? Just stand there and look pretty - that's all you'll ever have to do, Kathleen. But you could always say that you're a hard worker and you learn fast and you'd love to contribute anyway you can. That's what I plan on saying when I apply for a job... cross your fingers and hope it works, I guess.

Where do you want to apply?

Haha I WISH. Trust me. You have no idea how long I've been searching for modeling gigs around here. Yeah I guess that's what I tried to say.. I know I came across really nervous and unsure of myself, though. But oh that first interview was at this local chain restaurant called Eat N' Park. I've submitted applications, but no one else has.. called me back. The Eat N' Park place.. I applied AND THEY INTERVIEWED ME THE SAME DAY. I had no idea. That probably added to my being scared out of my mind.
