So, I just finished my interview for the Dispatcher position at the Miami University Police Department. The interview ran a little under twenty minutes and both people seemed to like me a lot. The guy asked me this random question about what word uses the letter "W" as a vowel. I was like what?! Apparently they called up King Library and had someone look it up one time. That's really awesome & geeky of them. The letter is cwn I think. It traps water in a mountain? Needless to say, it was too early for a question like that. lol. They said that there are A LOT of applicants for this job and that discouraged me a little. There's more I wish I had been prepared to say. I bascially told them that I genuninely enjoy helping people and I work very well under stress. They are supposed to get back to me on Tuesday. I just don't feel I am as qualified as the other people who applied (god knows who in this city.) Anyway, confidence issues are grabbing me by the throat right now.
I don't feel like I botched the interview... I just hate that when I leave situations like that I feel there are so many other things that I could have said. I wasn't nervous during the interview. I was very friendly and looked both of them in the eye and smiled a lot. Wish me luck, I have never been so excited/nervous about a job before. Usually I take some shitty bottom feeder job that has no signifigance to the world around me at all (unless taking money from people is significant.) Now I am awake and I have absolutely nothing to do. I was going to take the dogs for a walk but they are in the other bedroom with the boyfriends. haha. I guess i'll just read or something.
