I've managed to avoid job interviews on my own behalf for 20 years now. I've been at the same company all that time and have had the good fortune to have other people come to me when there were new opportunities. (Good thing since I can be very lazy and resistant to change.) For the past 10 years I've been the one interviewing job candidates and I really feel for the applicants who've had to endure my "wing it" style of interviewing.

I've never thought about job interviews, just did them. The last two I did were pretty stress-free; I knew I could do the job, it was just a matter of there being a slot open for me.

No, that's not the reason why.

Oh, I love job interviews. I just hating prepping my resume for each application. My body hates it too. I ache in ways that I have never ached after the physical task of the online job-search.

(So sayeth a person on the hunt at present.)

I can't say I love interviews, but I feel that I'm good at it and I do enjoy the challenge somewhat. In the waiting room I get the fun nervous tension/adrenaline that I'm sure skydivers get before jumping, and afterwards, if I did well, it's quite a high.

I have one coming up next week for a promotion and I keep going over it in my head. Should be interesting.

I got a silver medal in the Interview portion of the Academic Decathalon in high school, so I can't be that bad at it. That one was especially scary - 15 minutes to impress people that see one student after another. Plus, I had put on my info sheet that I had traveled to South Africa, so the African-American man on my panel asked me about that...talk about pressure! After I left that room I did a full-on fist pump "Yessss!" in the hallway :D
