5 jobs just isn't enough. I really need to have 6. So today I interviewed again. I am becoming quite the interview queen. I don't dither with my answers, or prolong the agony, short and succinct is my style. And it hasn't failed me yet.
Some of the questions they asked:
- Have you heard of A Million Little Pieces? What do you think about the controversy? -Yes, not much, is all non-fiction really true?
- What is the best book you read this year? - A Complicated Kindness by Miriam Toews
- Why is merchandizing important and what are the benefits and drawbacks of it?
- A nine year old boy is looking for something humerous to read...
- What are graphic novels and why do they appeal to young readers?
- Are you looking for a full-time permanent placement?
- Are you planning on staying in this area, are you applying for positions in other provinces?
Another one bites the dust... we eagerly await the results. Actually not too eagerly, yesterday I hired on with a major system so I should have plenty of work. Just when something good happens though, someone always rains on your parade. A few hours prior to hearing the good news, a jaded old on-call monopolized me on the reference desk with tales of this particular library system. I refuse to become negative-even if HR used the term "interested in bringing you on board" twice on my answering machine. Blaaah!
