Life is a whirlwind.
Sorry, for not posting last week. These last two weeks have
been crazy. Please don’t mind that this post might be slightly scrambled, it’s
currently how my brain is lol.
Last week, I went to a conference at a local college. It was
a day conference sponsored by several associations. The conference in general
was really good. The keynote speaker was great and so were the presentations I
was able to attend. One of the things that the conference offered was mock
interviews. I signed up of course and when it was time for them to start, I was
the first one called. I was so nervous.
However, the lady that interviewed me gave me some great
tips. One of the things she noticed was that I nod my head while I’m listening.
It was something I didn’t even notice I did. She said I could mention it so
that they won’t get distracted by it. She also mentioned that I have an unique
look and a great laugh and to showcase both in my interviews.
In regards to answering questions, she said that I did
better as the time went on since I was clearly nervous.She said my varied experiences would be great in an interview if I told them in the right method
and pulled them together to fit the needs of the job. I left the mock interview in great spirits. I
know I have to practice some answers to the common answers but I know I’ll be
good.
On another note, my mother had a heart attack this weekend
and ended up in the hospital all weekend. That messed me up. I obviously was a
mess and couldn’t think straight. It made me question moving away to the DMV
area. The nurse laughed at me when mom told her I was moving away. She said “You
won’t leave your mom for 5 minutes to get some food and you think you’re moving
to DC?” It was funny cause it was kind of true. However, if you know my mother,
you would know that if I stayed in the area and didn’t leave because of her,
she would be mad at me. She’s all for me leaving and starting my own life.
(That or she has plans with my room already.lol) I told her I would come see her at least once
a month just to make sure she was okay.
I’ve found about 5 or so jobs that seem to
match something I would be interested in. They are all in the DMV area. I’m
going to work on those jobs and apply to the ones I really like. I'll let you know how those go soon.
Graduation
Countdown = 88 days
