What a hot day. I went to an open house job interview today, for the Metropolitan Jewish Health System. I wasn't prepared at all...
I walked into a totally business atmosphere and another interview-ee had interview attire and her paperwork. Unlike me I had on a t-shirt and a some khaki pants and only my resume. I didn't realize that an open house interview meant the actual interview. I thought I'd ask some questions and they would ask some questions and I'd leave a resume and that would be it. But this was a real interview on the spot. Hence, I learned, what an open house Interview is. I stayed for five minuets, signed out and left. I was an hour early, anyway. No harm done. I have another open house to go to next week. I will be more prepared this time. I will also remember to bring my certifications and liscence with me. (I didn't have those either.) You'd think I wasted time, but at least I learned to always be prepared.
I Love this post! I did the same thing many years ago at a job fair, and have since learned from my mistake.
ReplyDeleteWell done for what you did do right, arriving early and then planning for next time! :D
