Well, I had my interview with the STL. I don't think I did so well, unfortunately. I felt unable to answer a lot of questions honestly, gave half-assed answers, and took a while to give those answers. But I really can't tell what he's going to say as far as whether I got the job or not; I find out when I next head in for work in a few days.
Wish me luck, TBR. I think it'll be a miracle if this works out.
I know it's a little late for this now but for next time.
Pick five things that are really important about being a GSA, say Great Customer Service, Highly Organized, Manage People, Good Under Stress, and Knowledge of Procedures.
Make sure these are things that you are very good at and have examples to prove, a little story or two.
Now every time they ask a question, turn it around so you are hitting them with those five traits.
Repeat them over and over.
No matter what they ask, get those traits in their face.
You want to say each one of those at least three, if not seven times.
When you see a politician not answering a question but switching it around to meet their canned answer, that's kinda what you have to do.
Don't worry about them stopping you or giving you a hard time, if you sound confident and sure of yourself that will sell it.
Now if they ask, is there something you think is bad or wrong with you?
Say something like, "I work too hard and care too much." or "I'm my own worst critic and want things to be perfect."
Bullshit answers really but it keeps you out of the danger zone.
