That I have never had a formal interview before... EVER. Yes, I am 23 have worked in three or four jobs (without much of a break since I was 16.5) and have never interviewed. I haven't even had a "fake" training type interview. Absolutely NO interview experience (have you caught onto that yet?)... until yesterday.
I realized this startling (and detrimental) fact while driving to the Auburn School District to interview for a Special Education paraeducator position. Well, sitting in a room with a person asking questions wouldn't be too bad. Except it was four people. Four principals. Four principals that all have a paraeducator opening at their school. Four principals with two pages of questions on which they will rate my responses.
During one or two of the questions I actually started answering before having a complete thought of where my diatribe was going and was thinking "oh shoot, what was the question again?" All-in-all I think it went just fine (although they were curious as to why someone with a Math Education degree was looking for paraeducator work, they understood when I told them I had to take tests to get my Washington licence). If I haven't heard from HR by next Wednesday it "would be appropriate to call"...
