peer interviews

I totally scrwed up a perfectly good interview. I had to follow with the peer interview. I was tired and nervous. I struggle with shyness and was not the most popular kid in highschool. I think if I had been interviewed by one or two, not 3 or 4 in a cramped office surrounded by the interviewers, I would have done better. I suspect I would have gotten the job if it hadn't been for the "peer interview" I found it frustrating because I had the experience and knew my limits. I'd have been a good fit, but....welcome to politics...I didn't get voted onto the island. I look at it this way, I found the job that was waiting for me, and they missed out on a really great person and nurse.

It's sad that it's become such a process that relieves any one person of any personal responsibility of hiring someone. And the whole "who will fit" bs- it's a job. It's not a country club. It's always nice to have friendly co-workers, but as long as nobody goes out of their way to make my life h*ll, I really don't care.

I had my peer interview but because it was so busy I only ended up talking to the charge nurse. It was extremely laid back and she only asked me a few questions such as what are my strengths and weaknesses. It was mostly talking about the job. Although I was offered the job and the staff was wonderful, I took another job offer that was offered to me from a magnet hospital! My job hunting days are now officially over! :)
