I hate afternoon interviews

I arrive and they're 6 people also in the waiting area. They all know each other and go out for a snack. While they're out I get offered some coffee by the HR. I accept and I'm given a freshly brewed cup. Then the 6 people waiting come back in, who I later figured were in some orientation (and were not given drinks). So in the waiting area, I was the douche with coffee. I only took two sips, very very awkward two sips.

For some reason they all decide they're close and take a picture right then and there. To make up for douchey-ness, I offer to take their pic so all of them can be included. I felt better after that, plus I had coffee.

Then it was game time, interview with the CEO of Bo's Coffee. I gave a less than ok performance and choked a little. This was one of the interviews where you just had to answer the questions directly with no extra stories (which I realized I'm bad at). A lot of times, I had to recall what the hell the question when I was talking. I even forgot to mention some of my major accomplishments, damn.

I was also asked what was my biggest failure in life and how did I turn it around. The first thing I could think of at the moment was not to say the Ms. Universe answer. Then, not saying that was the only thing in my mind. It was the worse thing I could say but at the same time the only thing that was going on in my head. It was like a giggle loop for the wrong answer.

"giggle loop" in Urban Dictionary

Fortunately, I was able to say an answer before the thought grew too big. The rest of the interview was harder questions and awkward answers. I was good during that morning interview last week with three different people. This was bad. I think I talk better when I'm grumpy in the morning, not when I'm steady in the afternoon.

Anyway, what's done is done. Let's see what happens.
