The Interview | The Odyssey Online
Start writing a post

Recently this past week, I had the opportunity to be interviewed by a large corporation that I have wanted to work for the last couple years. I feel like I should not put their name on this article, just because I don't know how that would effect me in the process; it is a large technology and advertisement based company, here in Omaha, Nebraska.

I was prepared. I was dressed nice. And I knew exactly the points I wanted to say and get across. I forgot to mention at the beginning, that this was for an internship, not a real live job. However, this internship entails 40 hour weeks during the summer; that's a lot for a summer internship, I believe. Nonetheless, I digress.

The woman I have been communicated with the last couple weeks comes out the lobby and takes me back to the interview room. However, shortly before walking into the room she stopped me and forewarned me that this is was a panel interview, not just a one on one interview. I was prepared, yet extremely nervous when she said that. I smiled and told her that it would be completely fine. Then I walk into the room and there were 7 people sitting around a large table looking at me. I suddenly got much more nervous than I previously was.

Yet I continued on and believe I stayed calm, cool, and collective.

The interview continued and didn't have any misfortunate events happen, which is always a great positive. I will hopeful hear back from this company in the weeks to come and start working there this Summer. Wish me luck!

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter

It's not all morning coffees and singing along to the radio.

The Daily Struggles of Being a College Commuter
morethanwheels

I've been in college for four years now. I spent half my time as a commuter and half as a resident so I've experienced both sides of the housing spectrum. One thing I've learned comparing the two is that my struggles as a commuter far outweigh anything I went through while living on campus. Commuters have to deal with the problems school brings along with a slew of other issues; I've filled up my gas tank in the worst kind of weather conditions and napped in random places in public more times than I'm proud to say of. This is a list of some of the most challenging aspects of being a commuter.

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!
