Trying to be appealing to employers is difficult. I know what your supposed to do at an interview, but I never seem to be able to do it and someone is always better than me. I know who I am, I know what I can and can't do, and I have such a difficult time playing up who I am to employers.
It's especially hard in the teaching field. I have been applying left and right for teaching assistant positions and I always receive the "Better Candidate" call. I do not like Better Candidate, Better Candidate is a jerk. Better Candidate takes away my hopes and dreams and then crushes them in front of me.
I bring all this up because today I had an interview at an elementary school. I was not prepared for it - they called last minute, said they received my information from the school districts HR department and asked if I could come in. I of course said yes and met with the principal this morning. Principals scare me, and I found it difficult to read her as she was completely emotionless. I thought I did the best I could at answering the questions asked, and even asked some questions myself, which is a first for me in any interview I've ever had.
However I can feel the call looming in the distance.
By week's end I will get a call.
It will probably be Better Candidate.
