So my 2nd round for my interview will take place tomorrow. I have so many things I still need to prepare for, such as: Google mapping the location, finalizing arrangements with my ride, putting things on the GPS (yes I’m paranoid), having contact information ready, ironing my interview clothes etc.
But those are relatively minor things. What I’m most concerned about is my interview. I’m set to give a talk when I arrive around 11am. This talk is driving me insane. It’ll be about my PhD work and they told me to be prepared for questions (obviously). It’s like living the thesis defense all over!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m so nervous right now. I need to review everything and I have no idea what they are going to ask. I wished I had my hard copies of the papers I’ve collected over the years (since I had reading the files on the computer).
So scared of questioning period!
Then after the talk, I can’t even relax b/c they are then going to take me out to lunch and then show me the facilities. So it’s going to be stressful talk, super stressful questioning, stressful lunch, stressful tour.
I need to breathe, breathe breathe.
