5th time is a charm?

Jump to Comments

Today, I had my 5th interview since graduating at the end of May.  The company is a small interactive agency located in Boston.

I know that they say that the more interviews you have the better you get, but I don’t feel any more confident.  Today, the president of the company (seriously, it’s that small that the president interviewed me) asked me to give a good example of “how I thought outside the box”.  Umm, wtf, seriously? I had no idea how to answer that.  I don’t even know what I said.  Why can’t interviews just be based on looks and personality, not how much or what you know!  That’s my opinion anyway…

I also have trouble answering when they ask what my salary requirements are.  I just graduated, I have no idea! Plus, all my professors always told me not to answer that question.  Well that’s fine, but the guy today kept badgering me, “Well you must have an idea…no…or a number…no…are you sure?” yes I’m sure, I’m retarded and know nothing!

I have another interview on Monday, hopefully this place will judge me more based on my looks.
