Another week come and gone....not gonna lie that makes me happy...one week closer to graduation!!!
This week focusing on interviewing had me thinking back to interviews I have been involved in. Trying to remember the questions I was asked, what I wore, how I interacted with the interviewer, etc. This brought back many memories, and made me thankful that I have not had to go through this process recently. Interviews always stressed me out. What should I wear? How long should I plan for the drive? What are they going to ask me? All these questions and more brought a smile to my face. I have been at my job for 9 years, and when I think back to my first RN interview I think of how I had no idea what I was getting myself into. As a new grad the excitement for your first paying RN job is so overwhelming. The stress of school is behind you (until you go back for your BSN), no more papers to write, no more tests, no more lectures. I had no idea that the learning was just beginning! And even 9 years later I still learn things about my specialty almost every shift I work. That has become one of the things I love most about my job!
As my perspectives and goals change in relation to my current job, I realize that more interviews may be in my future. This week has helped me tremendously. As mentioned above I haven't been interviewed in a long time. So bringing these types of questions and considerations to the foreground of my thoughts has helped me mentally prepare for what may be coming in the next few years.
