Well folks, today I had a job interview .Although I received encouragement and well wishes from my friends and family I have  feeling I will not be receiving a call back. I looked the part, nice suit, well groomed, portfolio in hand.I looked like an employed person. Hee hee but once I got in there and was told "Well Azizi after reviewing your resume, you seem to be overquaified for the position", my whole demeanor changed. It was like I already know how this is going to go.I have'nt been on many interviews in my life. As a matter of fact I think I've been on five job interviews. It's always a nerve wrecking experience but it's worst when your not the type of person who brags or boasts about themselves.

When you get hit with the "Tell me a little bit about yourself?", I usually respond with " Well, what do you want to know about me?". Then I go from there. But in an interview type situation you have to be assertive and lay it down. That is not my personality. I think that is whee I messed up. I am very soft spoken and shy and it shows. So if they wee looking for a stern person, then I am not the one.

Am I discouraged? Ofcourse I am but will I let this stop me. The answer is no. I got to keep on going. I will hand my resume out like it's a flyer to the jump off event of the year. I will get better with my skills. I need more practice. I'll get it together. This journey is not an easy one but it is well worth it in the end. It better be.
