Where my iPhone?

My tryout at the research company started and nine, and I assumed it would be over by around noon. I arrived early, of course, and actually had to wait about half an hour for some people to show up. They talked to me for awhile and then the first thing they had me do was listen to some recordings of interviews with doctors. Then they talked to me some more and set up an interview for me to conduct. Needless to say, I was incredibly nervous and it showed. The doctor could have been nicer, which would have helped a lot. Some of the questions I had to ask were a little repetitive, only requiring slightly different information, but when I would ask a similar question his response would be "Well, I already told you that." Blah.

After the actual interview (which was recorded), I had to go back and listen to it while writing up a report in Excel. My interview will be reviewed by people in the office and my report will be reviewed by the woman the owns and started the company. As I was writing my review, I was pulled back into the conference room where I had an "informal" interview with some of the other employees. They were actually really nice and that was my favorite part of the day.

I finally turned in the report and left around two. They actually gave me a little compensation for working so long, and I immediately went out and spent it (which, before you judge me, is something I rarely do and was very much needed).

At least you got to do the interviewing instead of being interviewed yourself! :)
