An Episode Impromptu

I am in the land of easy opportunities, and so I decided to take complete advantage of that and henceforth was looking into getting a second part time job. A complete random move by me just for the extra buck. Anyway, my slight desperation got to the point where any job was just about all right. So I apply to every opening on campus (including the one where you have to shred paper for like ten hours a week and they pay $722/month.. now that’s what I call a well paid job!!).

My application and resume was actually reviewed and was done by random departments on campus. That is quite an improvement from last week, where a very convenient e-mail was sent. Quoting the e-mail "We appreciate you applying for this position, but we cannot look into your application because we have 300 applicants in our system". What the ****?? Then why the hec is the posting still on the damn website? Anyway, I get this e-mail for an interview. A very random e-mail just stating the place, time (which was wrong), no indication on what the position was going to be and if I was interested I had to show up. And then I get another e-mail with the correct date and time. And when I showed up for the interview the damn guy did not have me on his agenda. Now!!! This guy manages like a million computers on campus and he cannot keep track of his appointments?

It was an interview total impromptu. I barely introduce myself and the first thing he is asks me is "what are your computer skills?” Now a more appropriate question here would have been "do you have any computer skills?” Anyway I manage to kind of put my brain together and eagerly answered "yes! I took care of computers when I was doing my undergrad". Totally sounded like a nurse or something there. Who takes CARE of computers? Apparently I did. Anyway the whole episode was a completely chick flick finale. I had no idea what I was talking about and I managed to use every computer technical term that I knew. Naming a few: downloading, installing, and yeah CARING. Anyway by the end of the interview the guy was like your interesting and I think I might hire you. Yeah!!! I know!!! I reacted the same way too. My eyes did pop out. But we will know on Wednesday.
