RE: What I Learned From My First Job Interview - Life Advice For College Students
Congratulations on your first job interview. Most of us went through it so we can find ourselves in the feelings that you described. It's great that you overcame your fears and you tried to be confident and self secured. It is important to show that you're worth it. It is not a company doing you a favor by hiring you. They need you too! So it's a normal conversation between two parties trying to come to a result that is acceptable for both of them. This is very difficult to realize when you are young and you have no experience but you did it!
I hope for you that you get a job offer. At least I am sure that you left an impression there. And if you don't it doesn't matter as you gained new experience and you proved to yourself that you can do it :)
Well done!!
Have a lovely weekend and be proud of yourself :)
Such an uplifting comment! I'm smiling like an idiot right now haha
Exactly. They need your skills just as much as you need their money.
I think the reason why teens accept any kind of pay in the first few years is because they are easily manipulated by the company or are either too desperate and in need of immediate money. Fortunately for me, I know how much I'm worth and I could sense that they were quite impressed with the entry test I gave in the interview.
Let's see how it goes from here. Gonna be a fun ride ;)
Your post is past payout, but the comment is not, so I am making my remarks here and upvoting you. I think we all remember the first job interview. Mine was for a part-time job that didn't matter much, but still memorable. Sounds like you were poised--much more so than I was at my age.
Good luck!
No matter what it is, a first job is a first job, regardless of what it is about. It gives you experience and more importantly, perspective and the memory, like you said.
Thank you for the encouragement! :D
