Oh yeah, the interview!

So in a post below I talked about my interview at T*E*S*S*A, and how it went well. They called me for a second interview while I was in Chicago, and I was supposed to have it this week. However, after the second interview call, they called me again to let me know that they realized they didn't have enough clients to take on new interns for the fall, but will probably be interviewing for the January crop later this year. Sucks, but what can I do?

I'm going to volunteer for an event there next month, so that should help my cause in case I can't find and internship that starts in September. I'm applying for one more, and just waiting on one more recommendation letter to send my packet in. It's a huge mental health agency here in Colorado Springs, so it's be great experience. However, it's really diagnosis driven and medical model based, which is what I've been doing for the past two years. I wanted something a little different, but at this point I'll take what I can get. If I don't get this agency one, I've been invited to do the September training at T*E*S*S*A so that I wouldn't have to do it in January. Sort of makes me think that they'd accept me in January, and almost makes me want to hold out for it.

I just want to finish this damn degree and keep busy while Todd is deployed. I've also applied for 2 PRN hospital jobs as a mental health counselor, so hopefully I get one of those.

Now it's time to go see Dark Knight! Yay for cheaper IMAX matinee prices.

Nerves

I have an internship interview today at 2pm. I'm a little nervous now, and I'm sure it will get worse throughout the day. Just writing about it right now has made my stomach do little flips. However, I've been emailing back and forth with the internship coordinator since March, and she seems really nice and easygoing. She keeps calling this a meeting, which sort of puts me at ease, but I'm still wearing a suit.

Speaking of my suit--I got the wrong pants drycleaned! I have two black suits, but I like the way one of them fits more than the other. So now I have to wear the less comfortable suit today. Yuck. I'm taking it as a bad sign.

So wish me luck. In a perfect world, she'd love me so much that I'd have the internship when I left. Considering that their application isn't officially due until 3 weeks before the training in September, I would say that I'm ahead of the game. I think.

*Update*

The interview went really well, and I am waiting for a callback for a second interview. They should be calling me this week, but I have to wait for my background checks for the interview. Since I'm in Chicago for the next few weeks, that works out perfectly. I would be shocked (and a little confused) if i do not get a second interview. Yay me!
