well that was interesting. uhg. seriously... why? why is it always SOMETHING. i thought i had this interview nailed. i had all my answers prepared. i brought extra resumes. i looked professional. i was excited. all prepared for a one on one interview...... and then BAM! 25 guys crammed in the same room! of course i knew i would be one of few or one of any girls applying.... no problem. but to do a group interview as a girl with a bunch of guys.... different story. I felt so awkward. at first. it was ok after a while. but.... i just didn't expect it. no one mentioned "group" on the phone explaining my interview. just... you have an interview at 1pm and this is the address... had i known... i would have prepared differently. its a whole different experience, its a completely different game. in a group interview you can't just look great and do good.. you have to stand out... but i didn't know how on such short notice. except for the fact that i had boobs and the other 25 applicants did not. well... heh. but seriously.... it ust wasn't cool. i just don't feel like i was able to present myself the way i wanted.. the way i planned. and now i am just a resume in a stack. speaking of resumes... i was one of the only people to turn in a resume with their questionere. even so, being a girl just didn't help me case. as if i didn't have to prove myself enough... they already think i am less than capable being a girl... a Mexican girl. and to make it that much harder.. i had to pull a stupid mistake right off the bat. with the whole setting up a gamer tag thing. not going to get into it. but it was just a dumb mistake where i pressed the wrong button so he said to use the pre-made game tag which he said was fine but honestly.. idk if it is. because its supposed to be your initials and the date.. what if they keep your gamer tag on file and review what you did.. but mine wasn't my initials.. it was just a bunch of random letters.... so how do they know its me? if it even matters, and maybe it doesn't. but i sort of felt like he was pretty much saying "it doesn't matter, not like you're going to get the job anyways" :[ no.... maybe i read too much into it. I'm sure i did. i think i did ok. for my first time ever game testing.. i don't think i was as detailed as i could have been, looking back. but he said "jot down some notes" so that's what i did.. i jotted. but when he was collecting all of the papers.. these guys wrote like paragraphs and paragraphs. i had 1 paper front and back of jotted down notes of bugs.. and they had like 3-4 papers :[ idk. i can hope but the realist in me thinks I fell a little short. And they don't know things. like... maybe they'll think "she lives too far away" but they don't know that Timmy is probably going to get that Torrance job and that we'll be moving if he does. and depending where exactly we move, its like a 15 minute drive.. that's nothing! and i forgot to get business cards. I didn't even shake their hands and thank them for their time. some ass was hogging up all their attention. way over the top going on about the experience and blah... its like... get on with it and move on, we'd all like our turn in the spotlight. but i didn't know how long he would take. i left... i know i know bad move. but idk why i did it. i guess i was scared. not scared but intimidated. its hard being the only girl. i find i relate better to guys than girls but first interactions with anyone are hard... and i was just afraid they would make fun of me i guess.. for even applying.. :/ i should have just sucked it up. worst case scenario would be they would laugh and make fun of me... but at least i would know i tried and if nothing came from it... i would have to see them again. but that's not the case is it... no. no now i keep wondering if it was that one bad decision that could make or break this job. ahhhH! anyways.... the drive wasn't too bad. thought it would be a lot worse. i got lost too and it wasn't long. so that's good. I'd say about an hour and 20 minutes. they said they have locations in el segundo and santa monica. i guess it isn't in Encino. which is fine anyways. just would have been a plus. but idc.. i just want a job. like i told Timmy, I'd rather be in that crap traffic than sitting around this apartment all day.
