My first real job sort-of interview
I’ve been applying to quite a few jobs since February for when I come home because I would like to start working right away and start paying off my loans right away. But I haven’t had a whole lot of response. One job was already filled, one job said I didn’t meet their qualification requirements, and the other ones I can’t seem to get to respond to me…until today. One position I applied for was an energy analyst for this company, E. ON, which is based in Louisville, but it’s an international energy company, which also has a headquarters in Germany. They e-mailed me back a couple weeks ago to say they were interested and for me to respond by e-mail if I still was interested and then we would set up a phone call to talk more. So I e-mailed, didn’t hear anything, e-mailed again, didn’t hear anything, then called today. He said they were still organizing the phone screenings, but they would let me know and to call again if I hadn’t heard anything in 3 weeks.
But then a couple hours later, they called back and set up a time for them to call me. Which made me really happy, and then scared. Monday at 3:00, I’m talking to four men over the phone to see if they like me and want to do a real interview later, I guess. I’m not really sure what it will be like, but I would really like to get this job, I think, although it’s weird to think I’ll actually have a full-time job soon that isn’t just lasting 2 months like all my internships. They’re an energy company, but they have a lot of stuff about climate change and emissions standards, so I think it would be a good place to work. And the offices are downtown, so if I lived downtown, then I could just ride a bike/walk/take the bus and not have to buy a car. Then I can just pay off student loans and not worry about paying off a car too. So pray for me and hope they like me. I’m sending out some more applications, but I think this would be great if I could get it, so I hope I do.
