One interview down, one more to go.
Today, during my interview, I discovered that I really like doing interviews. I wonder if there's a job out there that requires you to answer questions and just talk. I suppose Journalism is the closest thing out there to that description.
Being a spokesperson for some company wouldn't be so bad either. I would have to really like the company though. It would suck being stuck with some company that you hate where you have to pretend to like the company. Especially if the company endorses slave-labour and everything I don't like.
I was really skeptical about getting a job at Starbucks. The manager really liked me but something in my head told me that I didn't want to spend 15 hours of my week breathing in coffee air, making people's frappacinos. The location I applied to was really busy, so I could tell it wouldn't be a chill place to work like I had anticipated. Also, I don't like the capitalist image that comes with Starbucks. It's also against my brand-free lifestyle.
When I went in for the interview, the manager offered me a free drink. I picked hot chocolate because it's comforting to me. I wonder if he offers free drinks to all the interviewees and then analyzes them on what drink they pick. I should have asked him that. Damn.
Tomorrow, is my interview with Rogers Plus. I really want this one. I hope they don't ask me questions about technology or detailed questions about movies. This interview should be harder than today's interview.
Today's interview at Starbucks consisted of: How do you feel about uniforms? and Describe the relationships you have with your co-workers. Basically, if you don't have personality disfunctions, you can be hired at Starbucks.

Normally when they offer you a drink, it's as an ice breaker so that you'll be comfortable. Still, unless you're the type of person who easily gets dehydrated, you should either politely refuse or accept the drink but not drink it. That way, you won't distract yourself or your interviewer when you try drink in the middle of a sentence or drink while the interviewer is talking. There's also a chance you'll spill the drink in the middle of an interview. In my opinion, it's better to just refuse the drink to avoid all that trouble.
ReplyDeleteYeah that's what I thought. I wouldn't refuse the drink though because I think its more polite to accept. Refusing is like rejecting them. Haha I do admit though that I was drinking mid-question lol.
