On August 1, I had my first professional (or as I like to call it: Big-Girl) interview. The process actually started a week before the actual interview. But I'm getting ahead of myself: you're probably wondering where I interviewed at.
This is where I have been interviewing at: Southern Oregon Head Start. I'm being considered for a preschool teacher position. I love the Head Start program and anything that allows me to work around kids every day is a dream job. The process first started with a 15 minute observation of me coming into one of their classes. They just wanted to see how I interact with the kids. The next step was a "meet and greet". I actually really enjoyed this part. We got to find out more about the position and also ask any questions that we had. And finally, the official interview.
The experience was awesome. This was the first professional interview that I've had. I've done interviews before with places like Ross and Subway, but nothing that actually related to my degree. And I want this position so much! Working with kids isn't a job to me, it's my passion....as cheesy as that may sound :)
I was interviewed by four different people and they all took turns asking questions. I should be hopefully finding out tomorrow whether or not they have decided to give me the position. It's so challenging waiting. Part of me wants to be confident and feel like I got the job, but at the same time, I don't want to get my hopes up, so I'm trying to prepare myself for the worst too. I'll breathe a lot easier once I know for sure what is going to be happening. Hopefully I'll be able to report back good news to you all soon! :)
