Improvising Is the Key..

After I turned in my first interview, I felt so relieved and happy. I felt like I was stress free for a second. However, two weeks later, the second interview is due. A week before the due date, I started to feel paranoid for some weird reason. I felt like I was not going to be able to find someone to interview and I started to feel overwhelmed. Also, the interview started to feel impossible to do even though in reality, it is not that hard. It also did not help that I was not able to get hold of the person I was planning to interview. Luckily, I spotted someone from my church again that Sunday before the duedate. When I got to sit down with Kimberly Magtoto, I realized how unprepared I was. I did not have papers to write on and any new questions I needed to ask her. At that moment, I started getting really nervous because beside the fact that I was not completely prepared, it felt a little awkward being alone with her. As my interview proceeded, everything started getting better. We started having long conversations and even though I did not have new questions for her, I was able to just improvise on the spot and think about the things I am interested on knowing. If this ever happens to you, my advice is to just stay calm! Just try to keep the conversation going and get the interview done. Improvise to make your situation work out and always think about what you want to get from that interview. It also helped me when I actually told Kimberly that I was pretty nervous because she actually tried to make me feel better!
