Unemployed!

As of today I am unemployed! As I have mentioned I have been searching for a new job, and honestly it has been going pretty well. I have my resume out there and many different non-profit agencies and I have had 4 interviews (the 5th is tomorrow morning) and 1 job offer. I don't know if it was the wisest decision but I turned down the job I was offered because of the promise that the 2 interviews I have/had this week. The position I was offered was a central intake specialist for a non-profit agency. I would have spent a lot of my time on the phone accessing the needs of clients and referring them on. Not my dream job, and the salary was less than what I am currently making. Both of the jobs I'm interviewing for this week are for positions that I would love excel at. Through this process I have had to put to work many of the skills that I taught my classes this summer. I have been asked many interview questions and have had to think on my toes. Here are some of the interview questions I have been asked so far....

The person we hire for this position will be the 'face of the company', why would you make a good face for this company?

What are you strengths and weaknesses?

What brings you joy? And what irritates you?

What are your professional goals?

Have you ever had to deliver hard news? How did you respond to that?

What do you like about this agency?

Describe a stressful situation you've encountered at a workplace, how did you deal with the stress?

What type of schedule do you like to work with?

And so many more! One interview this week took 1 hour and 45 minutes! I was told earlier this week in a interview that I am very poised which I guess is a good thing! I hope that tomorrow as I go on yet another interview I am as poised as I have been. I will keep ya'll updated on the process!
