O.O
I... I am about to go to my first job interview ever. The appointment was made two days ago.
I have not stopped thinking about it ever since.
And now it's here.
And my stomach feels like it's shriveling up.
And I get the feeling I'll forget how to speak. Or I'll forget everything I've been reading these past few days about the company and about interviews...
"It's your first interview. Relax."
That's what one of my friends told me... followed by... "It's always bad the first time. Good Luck!" ... but I don't want it to go bad. But I don't know what else to do. I suck at preparing stuff to say. I'm more of a read and understand and say what's on your mind than practice til you learn it by heart kind of person...
My eldest bro says it's easy- that they normally just ask what your goals are in the company. Goals. My brain has gone into hiding.
I have to leave for the interview in like an hour... Oh God... an hour... writing this should be therapeutic not stress-inducing!!!!
Usually I freak out hugely about new stuff -in my own quiet oh-God-my-mind-won't-shut-up kinda way- and by the time the TIME comes I'm more relaxed... but this type of new is a different kind of new.... and I've stopped making sense already.... I'm gonna go stare blankly at my info papers and hope answers appear magically.
I'll post a more coherent -I hope- entry with holiday wishes and an interview re-counting after I get back.
