Interviews

I had my first two interviews yesterday, both unlike anything I have ever experienced in MI.

1. Project Renewal (shelter for addicted men-would love to work there!) for an administrative assistant and a case manager. (Two positions open.) It was a group interview. 8 candidates, me included, and one interviewer, all in the same room, same time, answering questions. I think it went well, but I think you never know until (or if) you get that call back.

2. Starbuck's in mid-town. Picture speed-dating (no, I'm not admitting that I've ever done speed dating, I just know how it works for some reason!) A hundred candidates all waiting for their three minutes with one of 6 interviewers, who then reads questions to you from an index card. My interviewer said it took him 5 interviews before he got his job, and he had to be persistent. Really?? 5 interviews to work at Starbucks??
