How, Corinna? UPPER CASE



Oh boy, oh boy!!!! Oh, help!

Usually it takes weeks till you hear something when you try for a job.

BOOM. BOOM.
They ask me for a Skype-interview.

Darn Corinna!!!!!

A job interview per se is difficult, but like this?!!!

Ingo will give me his cam, I have a micro , but...

I AM AN INTROVERT
I AM SHY
I FREAK OUT

I will blow it this way.

I seldom felt so bad before! What if I loose it, what if I cry???

What do I do???

I´ve never done this before.
I cannot do this, I feel sick already.

What if they see the billiard table behind me?



I have a paravent, put that up or do they think I have something to hide?

I feel just sick.
I was willing to drive all the way down there.

Why are they so quick???
Oh, boy.

Surnames are always in upper case, what does that mean??
What if my PC dies, what if... what?
Panic mode 100%

I certainly already said yes, I am looking forward to the interview, I start with a lie!!

I said it´s a first, that I take care I have the gear by Wednesday, so they even know I do not have it, that I am not used to it, that I´m a whimp.

Darn Corinna!!!
I let her - the contact person - know that I cannot hear much on my right ear and might ask back hence. That I will try to put it correctly with technique.

Oh, wee, and whilst typing I got a call, no cam needed :-) Boy is she quick!!
One burden off! And I made clear: Wolfsburg: No. And the lady was very nice, too.

Why I still blog this?
I have to get it out!
Home alone and feelings overwhelming is bad.
I´m calming down a bit now....

Henry!!!



At least I got rid of the lie about looking forward to that interview, kinda...
Guess she could hear how nervous I am...
Two "nice men" will talk to me, wish me luck...






Good-bye-pic? My phone she called me on.
I have a cell, but that makes expensive updates, so it´s just for WhatsApp via WiFi.
I have an "old people´s phone" that cannot go online and, well... is empty quickly, so I had to excuse myself for a sec to put it on the PC to load.
What a start!!! LOL...

Asked my T if he can speak in a higher voice and do the interview for me. I still wait for an answer, but reckon it´ll be a "no" ;-)

Oh Iris, dear Iris! I am sure you will do well. Take deep breathes when being on the interview, it really helps in calming. I am praying that it will all be well and the people who will do your next levels of interviews will be kind and comforting. you can do this dear Iris!!! I am with you in prayer :)

Thank you, Stevenson. But, LOL.
What will they think if I start breathing like that! They might send an ambulance - kidding.
Oh, wee. Thank you for your support, dear friend, it helps!

You Got This-hugs

I think it would be easier than being in person. I was a wreck about starting online teaching for all the same reasons, but now, I think it is better than having to be there and watch them look at you. Good luck!

Ella said...

First, you must have a drink for interview! 🍻 LOL
If they see the billiard table they say you live in a casino!
What do you think ... they are fast because they may not have staff anymore?
Listen ... YOU THINK TOO MUCH ... and in the wrong direction, ok! You can ...
YES, YOU CAN! Waarom ben je dan een Colonel dan, Hathi?!! 🐘
The trunk up and blow hard!
xoxo

Ella said...

* Then why are you a Colonel, Hathi? !!
I have a drink! LOL :))

Iris Flavia said...

Kathy, thank you, some hugs back!

Erika, oh, it will be the phone only, so facial expression will be missing, that is hard for me...

Ella, my Brother suggested valerian, but maybe a drink would do the better trick - and the trunk up! :-)
Yes, I think too much. Horrible.
Thank you for being there!
A little BIG hug and thank you, Hathi! xoxo

I have an old peoples phone too. Everyone thinks I'm nuts and maybe I am -- there are many advantages to the other but I fear being tethered to my telephone. I don't want that -- and no one tethers you if you have a "stupid phone" instead of a smart one.

I would be anxious too. But when the time comes, you'll be fine.
