I happened to stop in to the local game store today to check on a game I had reserved and they happended to have a Wii Fit. I have wanted one since they came out, but had not been able to locate on. Using the last of my bonus money I bought it. I am looking forward to trying it out tomorrow afternoon.

I got it. September 16, 2008

Well I don’t know if they hired me because I truly was the best candidate, or if they were desperate for the help, but I got the position. I think the interview went ok. Not great but much better then the last time I interviewed. I know they were looking for 15 people, but they did admit that the did not have enough qualified applicants. So I know I was at least considered qualified, but I will never know if they would have picked me even if they had enough people apply. I am not going to look a gift horse in the mouth though. I accepted the position and I am going to do my best to be a success at it.

Putting myself out there again. September 15, 2008

So tomorrow well technically later on today I have another interview. This is also for a temporary coaching position at my work. They need 15 people so I hope my chances are pretty good. I know I can do the job. Hell for more then a year I have been doing the job with the title of “Subject Matter Expert” with great success. I just interview poorly. I know this. I get nervous. My hands shake. I forgot my own name. I focus so much on not fidgeting that I appear stiff and unapproachable. My company interviews in what is called the STAR story format. The questions all start out with “tell me a time when……” They can’t make it simple and ask questions about my qualifications, my job skills, or anything else. I hate that. I have a hard enough time selling myself as it is and to have to remember details about specific stories when I am having trouble remembering my name is beyond not fun.

Well I just need to remember to Be Positive. Be Confident. Be Myself. Easier said then done but I am going to try.
