This needs to be the last time I'm looking at a screen or a monitor until tomorrow afternoon lowkey.
I've played Kingdom Hearts pretty much all day, and it felt great (I finally got my serenity powder!)!
I had my interview with Carly, Jr. Recruiter at 2U, yesterday. Honestly, EYE felt it was a trainwreck. I was so nervous and nothing came out clearly and succinctly and I was rambling on while searching for the right answer.
I went to a public speaking workshop the night before and distinctly remember that being my primary issue and I can't believe I let it happen again! And to be honest, after reviewing the interview in my head...she didn't ask any difficult questions and I'm quite sure each of her questions I had rehearsed before hand. My GAWD! Tragic. I mean, it got to the point in the interview where I could feel her saying, "Okay, shut up...I get it..next question." But what I did like about Carly is that she often referenced something I said in a previous answer to introduce the next question. That made me feel like I was saying SOMETHING of relevance to the position. stressed
(I think the rambling tactic is a defense mechanism. I don't want to be too short or vague unless I know it's the perfect answer?.....I don't know gonk )
But I was still passed onto the next round, speaking with Brian Lane - a VP of Brand Marketing. Wednesday at 10am. Not sure how that's going to work yet. Thinking about saying I had a "Dr.'s appointment" and I should be in by 10:30am. Sounds good to me.
I honestly think that I might have overthinked that last round and psyched myself out. I need to chill out for the talk with Brian...I kind of wish it was in-person though...phone interviews are a little rough, but I'll have to make it happen. Hopefully Brian will want to bring me in for an in-person sweatdrop
Honestly, the more I think about it the more excited I get about this opportunity, about the benefits and about this move. It's lowkey everything that I've wanted for the past several months in a new position. I mean, I was totally ready to take a minor decrease in pay and title to join a company where I knew there was a lot of growth potential. That or do the same trying to get into a university and obtain free tuition.
But THIS opportunity has a but of everything. Increased pay, free tuition, and a specialized job title with potentially direct reports (Brand Marketing Manager has a nice ring to it!). So I'm hoping and praying for the best. I've told my family about it and they're excited for me. I was also excited to learn that my little brother already received two acceptance letters for college (Morgan State and UMES). So proud of him for navigating that process because it isn't easy.
I definitely look forward to being around more and I still have my fingers crossed that this materializes. Major shoutout to Justin for being the plug rofl
I took off today and yesterday to get my life together, apply to some jobs and finish my google training but if this happens then all of that goes on the backburner! That and some people in digital marketing department of 2U can familiarize me with all of that and I wouldn't have to do all the hard learning myself...which is what I've been wanting 3nodding
Love heart
