My first job interview… ever

Tomorrow’s the day. I’m leaving Williamsburg at 9 am (ehh… maybe 9:30) to go to my first job interview with the Peace Corps. I’ve never done a job interview before. Needless to say, I’m kind of nervous. The next time the clock strikes 2 pm, I’ll be sitting in Rosslyn and getting called into the interview room for one and a half to two hours– depending on how many questions I have. Did I just say that I’m kind of nervous? I’m totally freaking out actually.

I’ve just been perusing the Peace Corps website for some last-minute research and it’s making me more and more excited by the minute. With the Peace Corps, I’ll have the chance to learn a new language and spend 27 months in a foreign country, living with a village, incorporating myself into the community, and hopefully doing something beneficial. There’s a lot of people out there who need help, and I think I’m ready to just get out there and do it.

On Wednesday, October 20 2010, I will cross (and hopefully not crash into) one of life’s big hurdles. Wish me luck.
