When job interviews go wild.....

So as my search for the perfect job continues I finally wrangled a job interview as a liaison for the Education Graduate Program at the University of Wyoming!!!

I am one of those people that you can take to a karaoke bar, a bat mitzvah or even your grandmas funeral and I can make it wildly more fun. My super powers of fun, however, end when it comes to job interviews.

The old, "What are your weakness's?" question can always be answered one way....  My weakness is job interviews! I act like a total putz. I look like a deer in the headlights with the possibility being totally "On something."

In my coveted UW job interview they explain how their main interest in me is the fact that I can develop and maintain websites. I proudly explain that I love that type of work and go on to boast about the website I created for my job search to set myself apart from the competition. 

"Well", says the Assistant Dean of UW, "Let's take a look at this website!"..........................NOTHING! She can't pull it up!

At this point I am digging my heel into the floor to see if it might be soft enough for me to dig a hole and bury myself so the pain of humiliation will finally stop.

As you can imagine the rest of the interview was tense. All I could think about was how nice it would be to bury myself under the covers when I got home in the safety of my bed.

Today I get an email with the slightest essence of jest..

"Hi Christine – just wanted you to know we found your website right after you left. It was user error …. I wasn't connected to the Internet :)"

Funny. 

After profuse profanity (to myself) I came to the realization that Haiti will freeze over before I get a job offer from this place. Great. Finding a date wasn't even this hard.

So onward and upward the job search continues.....
