I don't remember my first job interview, but I do remember being interviewed for my Masters Degree in university seven years ago. I was nervous, and I didn't get much sleep the night before. In addition, there wasn't one interviewer, but five in total! Five professors and me in one room. The "interview" lasted four hours, and at the end I was given a "pass" (you either got a "pass" or a "fail"). Yes, it was nerve-wracking, but being able to go through it and passing it was a very satisfying experience for me. :)

Hi Jenna! Hope you had a great Monday!

Yes. No. I got the job. It was when I was in HS for a job in a gift shop.

I took Co Op last school year first semester. I had an interview with a woman who was very polite with me and I thought the interview went great. However, on the first day I got fired. That put me off Co Op. I ended up switching out of Co Op for two other classes that I ended up failing. Yeah, I'm not too brilliant. Anyway, I've never really had a "real job" interview. That was probably the closest one I had to one, though.

Yes, I went through this process recently and started my job today. I was a novice with little experience, and it was personality that made all the difference. This question was very important for me today as I began my job, but I really learned so much from my experiences.

Wow, Jenna... thanks for that follow-up... that's just awesome. It was an amazing day, and it was a rather surprising position. Just when I thought it wasn't going to happen, too.. :)

Thank you :) I'm going to write content for websites as an SEO Copywriter, manage accounts, and consult clients about how to improve their websites. It's dynamic, involves a lot of writing, and it seems excellent so far!
