I always feel bad after interviews, but I have a couple reasons here. No experience with giving interviews (well, oops, I do actually have such experience), minor point, or so I thought. Then there was the “what do you hope to learn from any hypothetical internship” which I apparently took as a “reconstruct a history of your writing anxiety for us”. Why am I so stupid? He asked me how my search for other opportunities were going. (ouch) In the thank you note, I added the information on the interview experience, and a couple writing samples. (Offering protestations that I was too hard on myself seemed completely retarded, besides, they didn’t have any real writing samples. Let them judge for themselves if I’m too fucking self-effacing). Le sigh.
I need to look into other opportunities, starting pre-surgery. Bleh!
You’re not stupid, hon. You’re very intelligent, and I’m sure you came across as such in the interview. You’re just being hard on yourself right now. I bet it went better than you think.
