11 Unavoidable Thoughts We All Have After A Job Interview

Whether it's over the phone, from Skype, or in person, job interviews always prove to be a little bit nerve-racking.

No matter what kind of job it is that you are applying to, you definitely feel this type of way before you get a call or an email back.

1. "Geez. How did I do?"

Everyone's initial thought right after an interview. You might already have a good idea of how you think that you did. If you think you might not have done your best, picking on everything that you could have done better on will probably be what you do on the silent drive back to your place. Or if you think you nailed it, you might be totally geeking as you walk out of your interview.

2. "What did they think of me?"

Did I sound smart? Did I seem nervous? Did I make a good impression? Thinking about how the interviewer perceived you during the interview can be a weird thing to think about, but it is a good way to possibly help yourself in other interviews.

3. “Okay if they didn’t like me, there’s always other jobs.”

It is their loss if they don't hire me. It's okay. I'm okay. Not necessarily the end of the world.

4. “Why did I even apply for this job?”

https://media.giphy.com/media/xTk9Zxw5LoEOuCLCQE/giphy.gif

Do I even want to work here?? I mean, am I THAT desperate? Is getting paid...worth it?

5. “My resume stands out, I think.”

After rereading my very ~ impressive ~ resume, I realize that I must be the most hireable person that applied to this position. I mean, come on.

6. “Is this what all job interviews are like?”

So this is what it's like to apply for a real job.

7. “I didn’t even answer the question right..”

https://media.giphy.com/media/xUPN3zWOUeA4PgKOkM/giphy.gif

Looking back at the interview questions, I don't think that my answer even made sense. Wait, actually I think it did...

8. “What if I hate this job?”

https://media.giphy.com/media/11RIDouEyKZ116/giphy.gif

What if this job isn't even what it says it is? I'm just going to hope that I am not going to regret this.

9. “I think I got this one.”

https://media.giphy.com/media/uhXHCg4IWzozu/giphy.gif

Why wouldn't they give me this job? I would call myself over qualified, in fact.They would be crazy to not hire me.

10. “Why haven’t they called me back?”

https://media.giphy.com/media/13yTWxNez02T2o/giphy.gif

You know, they haven’t called me back but, I am going to take that as a compliment because they are trying to find someone better than me. And they can’t.

11. Okay, it's not the end of the world, if I don't get this."

I didn't want a job anyways!

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
