Durty gave me some props in her blog...so I thought I would just give an update...not like there's much to tell...

They ask dumb questions...mostly about my personality type...nothing about my skills, or what I can do with a computer...if I thought I could learn the job...or even that I can speak Spanish...

For example: What would you say is your greatest weakness?   Um, well let me just say, "Stupid people," wasn't the most appropriate answer, so I went with, "I am not a very patient person sometimes.." 

During some of it, I think I spoke in circles...but one of the people in the interview said I did fine.  Whatever.  I think they underestimated my experience.  One of the questions, which I think sets you up to fail, was:  What do you hope to expect from your boss?  I said, consistency.  I find it difficult when new rules or regulations are put in to play, and the expectation for everyone to follow them isn't held the same across the board.  One of the ladies in the interview said that this attitude should be transparent, that you shouldn't know what your co-workers are or aren't doing....WHATEVER!  I politely gave her an example from previous jobs...she agreed with my example.  I know there are exceptions to the rule, and co-workers often don't know the whole story...but those are exceptions, hopefully not the general rule.

SO...we'll see what happens...I should find out no later than the end of next week.  Now, I have a week to pick apart what I said and didn't say to death...I hate being in a holding pattern...haha


I'll just suck it up...I know someone will say it anyways...LOL 


I hope the rest of you out there looking for jobs will find some financial stability soon...I know this looking part stinks big time.

Good luck, it sounds like you handled it just fine. Just remember that you don't always want to say what you think, but instead, what you would want to hear if you were an interviewer, not an interviewee!
