hugmeI have two good solid interviews coming up tomorrow and Thursday... hopefully I won't be under-employed for long...
I have realized that I SUCK at phone interviews... first of I hate talking on the phone in general, for some reason it's always bothered me. I think part of it is that I like to look people in the eye when I talk to them. for some reason when I do a phone interview my brain just goes to mush... even SIMPLE stuff that I know backwards and forwards and would never forget I can't seem to give an answer to when I talk to someone over the phone. the two phone interviews I had last week were horried... I couldn't articulate the answer to their questions... for some reason my brain wouldn't come up with the answers... and the sad part is that it's stuff I use every day...
The phone interview today went fair... I used the head set and tried to concentrate on relaxing.. he had a long list of questions he asked me. every time he would ask one I would have to close my eyes, slowly breathe and then give the answer. I think I got them all correct, they wern't difficult. (but neither were the ones from the other interviews.
Last night I found a silly flash game.. it's one of those sim-date games... I played it for a couple of minutes (yeah, I was that bored) and was about to close it and go find something else... when I entered one of the fight sequences (don't ask) and realized that I knew the music that was playing... it was the theme to pi!! wow... I may put a link to it up later... both newgrounds and stileproject link to it (DO NOT go to stileproject from work)
