Interview 1

I had my first (hopefully not last) interview today. Actually, as I was on my way out the door, another district called to "pre-screen" me for their official first round of interviews. The second the guy started asking me about my past and my reasons for leaving Past District, I got all nervous and my voice started shaking. After his call, I tried to think of a good answer for the Actual Interview I was on my way to, but I still think I fell short on that one. Other questions I think had suck-ass answers:

• What do you consider your biggest triumph and your worst failure?
• What was one of the suggestions on a recent evaluation?
• What would you have done differently at your past job?
• What do you know about APA? (At least this one is easily researched.)

Because I no longer want to dwell on these questions (today, anyway), I am going to tell you about my appearance... because I looked fabulous. I can't find the links to anything I wore, so you'll have to use your imagination.

• Dress: Navy blue faux-wrap. Cotton fabric textured with tiny navy dots. Wore with a white cami, but when I am not trying to get a job, it shows just the right amount of a little too much cleavage.
• Shoes: Red leather heals with a rounded toe and a skinny red leather bow. If they were a little higher, they'd be sort of pin-up style.
• Accessories: the usual little diamond necklace from Alex, but also a chunky wooden bracelet, bright yellow with painted red flowers. (I had to add another color so I didn't look like I was trying to be red, white and blue.)
• Bag: Light brown leather clutch.
• Etc.: Nails were OPI Sweetheart (a sensible pale pink), and even my hair came out great thanks to the low humidity and my new dryer.

I almost wish employers gave positions based on appearence, because I know I looked hotter than the chick who walked out as I crossed the parking lot to go in.
