Interviews

As of today, I went for like.. * numbers of interview where * = number which I forgot/lost count.
The one that I went today, I think it went rather well. It was at MOE (Ministry Of Education), and it was a call centre job. I didn't go with a positive attitude. Positive = I want the job. I just wanted to experience more interviews and make myself comfortable and hopefully get the job I want. But the working hours and the pay is quite attractive, so.. Let's see how it goes.
Anyway, from what I've experienced, interviews are like so different in different environments. I went for 1 at a retail shop, 1 at government organisation, 1 at private sector and some which I think weren't really interviews. I guess different places has different work enthics and different work requirements.
1 thing is common though.. Or rather, an interview is a place where you sell yourself. I gotta admit I should have known beforehand. And reading "blink" really makes me wonder. The first impression thing is really important I guess. And if you sell yourself well in the interview, you get the job. Doesn't matter if you're really not capable. (They may regret and kick you out but at least you succeeded in getting there first.)
So.. I guess it's something I gotta learn to do. And I think it's just something that I don't really do well. I really can't be bothered with other people, in the area of impressing them. Why should I? I just wanna be myself and not fake who I'm. But I think who I'm should suit the job and the environment. But it's how I sell who I'm. Grrr.. Getting a bit confused and irritated.
Wish me luck.
