» Joni Rose - Hi Mario,

I wanted to tell you a story about an educational job interview that I went on. It was to be the Director of a university career resource centre for students.

I was asked to give a PowerPoint presentation on "The Role of a University Career Centre". After the presentation, I answered questions from a 5 person panel. Then a student actor came in for career counseling and I was to counsel her while the panel looked on through a 2 way mirror. Talk about an intense interview!

When I asked the "student" why she was coming for counseling - she responded with "I have NO idea what I want to do". When I asked her about her favorite subjects in high school - "Home Ec" but she didn't want to cook for a living. Let's just say that it was obvious that she was told to make this the career counselling session from hell! Ha!

All of that and they had an internal candidate in mind for the position!

Ahhhh well, chalk it up to experience!
