Thankful.
This word pretty much sums up how I feel after my first interview. I received a lot of positive feedback after today's interview which was incredibly validating. I felt nervous and unprepared before the interview but when I entered the room, I was filled with confidence. I actually (sort of) know what I'm talking about (maybe). The answers thankfully came to me easily, which I attribute to my undergrad training. I would love to have this position and I hope that I make it to the next round. I'm really looking forward to what the next round entails because I would teach a sample lesson to actual students if asked to continue the interview process. I love working with kids and think that will definitely come across in my favor in a teaching demonstrationWe'll see how my next interview goes at the end of this week, but as of right now I'm feeling great about the first one!
Things to look forward to tomorrow - getting fit for running shoes, going on another run, playing my wonderful flute for FUN!
Things I have to do but don't want to tomorrow - finish unpacking my life and organizing my room.
Woohoo for your first post!! I totally have a list of things I need to dont want to do as well. Getting fit for running shoes sounds super exciting! Oh, and I totally get the boost of confidence, too - I think we probably know a lot more than we feel like we know. I get so super nervous before interviews and juries and exams and concerts, but once I'm there, I totally calm down and it's not as stressful as I crack it up to be in my head. In fact, it's quite the contrary! Yay for pleasant experiences!! Keep us all posted on the interview process, and congrats on getting your first interview and doing a great job! :)
