Last Friday I was interviewing for a job at a local bank. The job is one with a fair amount of potential in and of itself, and should position me to effectively be able to use my AFC certification once I've attained it. Also, since the bank is fairly widespread, I'm hoping that any job with them would be at least somewhat portable. Anyway, I do a couple of skills tests (handwriting legibility, number recognition, workplace attitudes) and then they do the one-on-one questioning. I get the standard "describe your cash-handling experience," "what does 'teamwork' mean to you," "where do you see yourself in five years," questions, and then out of left field, the lady asks "what single word would best describe you?"
Um. I can think of NOTHING. So eventually I stammer out "speechless." Possibly an even better response would have been "flummoxed."
She laughed, at least. Hopefully a sense of humor will save my job candidacy. We'll see. At the very least, I have yet another ridiculous personal anecdote to share.
Oh, and I just remembered, I forgot to send a thank you note. I think I'll run it by tomorrow.
