i've never been to an interview my whole life..and i had 2 this week!
on monday i had a group interview at GUESS. the interview was pretty casual i guess. we just all took turns asking questions like: why should we hire you...sell urself to us; tell us about our company, what would you do if you caught an employee shoplifting in the back; questions like that. boring questions..but i tried to sound as interested i could. i met some cool girls in the group interview. really down to earth and friendly people...GL to all of them.
then today, i had my interview dt...like china town...for ccnc..chinese canadian national council. and boy..this was a hard core interivew. first of all the office building is gorgeous. its relly nice and new inside. ccnc only has a small office in it..but ya, i would LOVE to work there. just a lil far... =/ anyway..
so they called me in and i went into this room..with a huge desk and 2 guys sitting across from me with clipboards, paper, andpens. they offered me a drink..and then began my interview (very professional). then they DRILLED me with questions. they drilled me harder than brian drills us in an oracles practice. :P questions like: tell us about ccnc; describe to us what human rights and advocacy means; why would you want to work for us; would you volunteer in the future for us; what would you do if you came into work and found that the door was smashed open and all the computers were stolen? grr..i was soo stuck on the stupid word advocacy...!! -.- anyway. after all those questions..they told me to write a letter to City Hall to book it for a anti-racism conference. so they left me in the room for awhile with paper, pen, and my cup of aloe drink to write it. so hard core. i totally did not expect the interview to be like this.
..but now i relly want that job. basically its a program assistant position. i would help plan and coordinate their events- which sounds liek a relly cool job. i'd be working side by side with the head coordinator and like high up ppl.
and it was relly nice for carson and aaron to come up with me for my interview today. well aaron only came up becuase he had a blue jays game to go to tonite..but it was nice for CARSON to come..and somehow drag aaron along heh. he is such a gentleman. he IS. and all aaron cares about is himself. and sometimes mindy. eheheh. sigh. but no..it was nice of them to come out and help me find the place. it was tricky to find! AND...after my interview they were waiting downstairs in the main lobby, and gave me an I <3 Jesus livestrong-like bracelets they bought while they were waiting. ahaha. they bargained 3 for $5 in china town..as opposed to $2/each omg. cheap-o's. haha. i can't believe they spent money buying samuri swords taht day too..lol and carson's "Me, myself, and I" promise ring..for himself. thats relly sad.
then after my interview i met up with albert LEUNG from the O's..and from there we headed to our practice at bev glen - took us awhile to get back up. from chinatown to york mills stn (where my car was)to bev glen. didnt'get to practice too much tho cuz it started raining like INSANELY. almost like a typhoon! but not...
then we went to wíll's favorite restaurant for a bit. (incase you didnt'know wuts his fav restaurant is..its pho's) and you can tell..he was very content with his pho's. he never gets tired of it.
then i dropped ppl off..dropped by to say hi to euge..and headed to kbbq with waterloo ppl! woohoo..i got to see uw ppl two times today. except aaron didn't make it to kbbq. (thankgoodness ..jk!) :) but ali, jaclyn, carson, and bobby came out. and it was nice catching up times. oh i miss waterloo..andi'm psyched for next year. i can't wait i can't wait i can't wait.
what a packed day. i relly hope i get either job. i highly doubt it..seeing that i have soo much competition.. :( its ok...there are many other opportunities. dang advocacy!! -.- grr.
