Interviews suck. Its such a long drawn out process of awkward questions and you trying to figure out how to say the "right" answer. What makes it worse is that most interviews now, (at least for retail jobs) are GROUP interviews. So then you're forced to sit and listen to other people say the "wrong" things and tell their long stories...
I was asked to do a group interview yesterday for a sales position at a store in SoHo. It was a pretty good interview session although it lasted for an hour and a half. But people say the darnedest things when they're put on the spot:
Interviewer: Tell me about your worst boss...
Dude: Oh my god.. this manager I used to work with was the WORST. He was, excuse my language, AN ASSHOLE. Theres no other way for me to describe him but that he was AN ASSHOLE....
We were all looking at each other like did he just say that?
It was SO FUNNY. Situations like that make me feel like why do I want to settle a job when I may be more qualified for a better position somewhere else? But thats really just MY opinion of myself.. I don't have the experience to do what I REALLY want to do yet, so retail it is.. for now.
So now begins the process of waiting for the call back.. Nerve-racking..
