Interview # 22: Closure Closure, you need closure! *Closes door*

Interview number 22 was my third interview at a book publishing company called "Nova".
I was interviewed by a woman named Jo-Ann, I would have been interviewed by Donna 3 if she hadn't been on vacation.
I think I had a very nice interview, I presented myself well and I would jab at anything about the position.
For example, it was about editing and re reading subjects in books and I would make sure everything was correct. So I would go on about how I've used programs like microsoft word and excel.
They also liked me  for my graphic design experience, they mentioned there was someone who had so much work to do that extra help would have been... well....helpful!
I was on the interview for about a half an hour! I really thought that maybe I had a chance... before I left I asked if I could be contact whether or not I got the position or not. The interviewers exact words were "You want closure."
BUT! I never got a response! It's almost been a month since then, it was at the middle of August 2012.
So, it's safe to say I didn't get that job. =_="

Lesson Learned: It can really really seem like you got the job, the person/s may love you... but it doesn't mean you did get it.

Interview #18: Hi, this is Tricia Takanawa... reporting from news -20

Interview #18 Was once again at Nova... this time it was the 30th of July.
It was actually a different department than the previous one with a woman named Donna.
This time it was with a woman named Tricia; I thought it was cool that she only contacted me via email, because I hate it when someone calls me. Cause most, if not all the time I get contacted via phone... it's always at the worst time and then I can't even hear what they're saying...

The interview was pretty basic, I went on the interview and I think it went well. But I got an email a few days later from Tricia, saying I did not get the job.
I said that I was thankful she actually contacted me, because I hate how most companies leave you hanging and never tell you. NOTE: By the first month... if they didn't contact you, you really just have to let it go... they didn't to hire you....

Lesson Learned:  It may seem like the interviewer likes you as a candidate, but it doesn't mean they will choose you.

Interview # 14: Do these glasses make me look smart?

My 14th interview was in an industrial park, it was for a book publishing company we'll call "Nova". This was in the middle of May 2012.

I was contacted by a woman named Donna, which oddly enough... I have a friend with that name. I had actually thought that this Donna was my Donna; which made me hope that I would get hired definitely.
(Note: I actually have two friends named Donna, we all went to the same college.)
Let's call interview Donna, Donna 3. Because my two Donna's get to be Donna, but I don't want to pick favorites by calling one of them Donna one and Donna two. So to be fair, they both get to be Donna, and this Donna is Donna three because she is the third Donna I have met.
So, there's Donna, Donna and Donna 3. I hope you've got a handle of all of this. :P

So, I did research on the company. Which I named, so even you could look it up.
It was a book publishing company that mainly sells very intellectual and educational books for professors and college students.
I was actually really interested in the ones they had about human sexuality.

"Sexual Minority Research in the New Millennium"

Which is a whopping 166 USD. (Holy cow Charlie brown!). Which you can actually also buy off amazon.
Last time I checked, it was more expensive on Amazon, but now it's less expensive.

So, when I got onto the interview with Donna 3... it was a very interesting place. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't run down and it had a homey feel to it.
The interview with Donna 3 was very nice, I think I presented myself well and I answered the questions nicely. I was also lucky enough to get interrupted by one of the people that works there who had a problem for Donna 3, it was good cause the question she had just asked confused me and I wasn't sure what to say.. so it gave me time to think about what to say.
The interview went well, but it had me worrying about something. Donna 3 had mentioned that once you make up a schedule for when you come in, you can't change it. It was a part time job, so it was only about 5 hours a day, Monday-Friday.
For some reason that made me feel constricted, even though that's how most jobs/careers are.

Lesson Learned: Most jobs do not have flexible hours, sometimes it's good to ask.
