When I was applying for jobs all across the country a few years back I saw it as a positive sign when I started getting rejection letters, most don't bother. Some not even after interview.

My phone interview is tomorrow morning from 11:00 AM to 11:30 AM. Hopefully I'll wake up to be a different person.

I sorta prepared, but didn't write too much notes.

No, I don't got this.

It turns out I was lined up for two phone interviews.

So, yeah, I mixed them up. In fact, I have never heard of this second company until ten minutes ago, right in the middle of the interview.

I don't know if that's a good thing, or a bad thing. B/c I really want the internship with the first company. Definitely screwed it up for the second company. Maybe the interview with the latter can be seen as practice with the former.

Ah, it happens to the best of us. I had a job interview one time for a gardener/caretaker where I got lost on the bus getting out there, showed up an hour late sweaty and edgy. Then during the course of the interview, the manager tripped and landed flat on her face. Needless to say, I did not get the job.

Good luck on the second interview, comrade!

I sent in my app right before the only person who can read it went on holiday for 2 weeks. That's why I ain't herd back.

Also, I want this job because your class has seized the means of production, so I must sell my labor to live.

Is that what you actually told them?
