more interviews...

Now it's out of my hands. On Thursday morning, I had my third and last interview for this particular education-support job that I've fallen in love with over the last few weeks.
This one wasn't as warm & fuzzy as my earlier experiences. She asked tough questions like (get a pen & paper--take these down and think about them!):

"Talk about a time you failed"

"Tell me about a time you received really harsh feedback"

"This is a rigorous job; do you think you can handle it?"

Of course, the moment i hung up the phone, i thought of brilliant ways to handle all those questions (just not when we were actually talking...). A friend of mine who is familiar with this company's particular process assured me they were "throw away" questions--just to see how people react to being asked tough questions like that. I still think it's not a bad idea to have some answers ready!

I'll find out by Friday (having an offer under my belt would definitely make me feel better about giving advice about interviews!)
