After 4 interviews and sub-sequentially 3 internship offers, I was run-down, un-hopeful, and pretty cynical about my last interview, which was yesterday, Wednesday, at 4pm. None of my other offers have excited me at all. After a busy week, I put little effort into preparing for this last interview with an organization that I will not publicly disclose for confidentiality reasons.
Normally, the following is how I prepare for an interview:
1. Read mission statement/basics on organization from website and/or handouts
2. Look up interviewer to know more about them and their accomplishments
3. Bring packet of
a. Resume
b. Rec letter
c. Business cards (as stupid as it sounds its good to make business cards at this age)
…I did NONE of this for this interview. It was the one that I was (or so I thought) least interested in. So I walk into the interview exhausted and clueless as to what the organization does. As the interview progresses, I realize that I love what they do and it is an ideal internship for me! But due to my lack of mental and background preparation, I think the interview went badly. My plan is to stalk her until I hear back so she knows I am interested.
Send me good vibes...
