Why are you interested in this job? What is your biggest life goal? Sorry, what was it you majored in? (She had not looked over my application & had never heard of my major) If chosen for a second round interview, would morning or evening work better?

Why are you interested in this job? What is your biggest life goal? Sorry, what was it you majored in? (She had not looked over my application & had never heard of my major) If chosen for a second round interview, would morning or evening work better?

After a few minutes it became apparent my tour was really a rolling interview designed to both put me at ease and to prevent me from using all those stock answers I had been rehearsing. My head was spinning. Floral Department - what types of flowers have the most impact on you? Linen Department- do you like the way the light reflects off that or do you prefer the flat finish? Lighting - "Meet Tom, he is our expert. Ask him any question you want about Lighting. It went on and on - Audio, Props, Sets, Special Effects, and then finally the office sit down. By then I was elated to be sitting in that chair ( a scene I had played over and over and dreaded in my mind). My resume was finally in her hand and I was ready to shine. I knew how to answer the questions which were sure to come but no - more torture! What was the funnest event you ever attended - what made it fun? What was the worst - give me 5 things that you would have done better? In the end I got the job and four years later I myself got to take a poor unsuspecting applicant on this same emotional roller coaster.
