Back from interview. I think I did ok. I did my research and it was the second most difficult interview. He did not ask me "so tell me about yourself?"
He asked me why I am interested in the field, my two greatest strengths, weakness, if I can drive a 15 passenger van, an example where I excelled at a job, questions about my previous work at Holy Family and Happy Pet, and judgment calls: what would you do if someone told you he/she is suicidal?
Overall, I did well. I did say some things that I would like to have back but I was very personable and asked lots of questions. I did follow Erin's advice and I asked if he liked interviewing and he said he's done many years of it, "write a book!" I exclaimed.
However, my intuition says I did not get it. I didn't prepare so much for the judgment call questions and I think that hurt me. I did sell myself very well and I told him "I know I can do this job. I have excelled at every job I have ever had." And that is when he asked me to give him an example and I did.
Maybe psychology isn't for me..
