What
we knew before the applications came out was the site was undergoing a complete
re-design and the initial application would be a lot cleaner than before. I
knew that I had this in the bag and I just had a feeling. I stayed up to date
on the count down to September 5th.
The
day September 5th came around was unlike any other and there’s no
possible way to describe what happened on the Facebook group I was in, other
than all hell broke lose. People were freaking out. Every other message on the
wall of the group was all about the applications, how people liked them, how
people hated them, how they weren’t sure what something meant. In my opinion,
at the time I liked the older applications, but reflecting back on them almost
a month later, I’ve realized how much nicer they really were. They were a lot
simpler and a lot nicer to look at compared to their obnoxiously yellow sibling
that had been around when I initially applied.
I
filled out all of my information as I had done, by this time, 7 months ago. I
knew what was coming and I was dreading it – the web based interview. Instead
of stressing out about it, I forced myself to relax and I read the questions
carefully. Finally I hit the last question and feared for the worst.
I
wasn’t expecting the “Congratulations” that showed up on my screen. I went and
showed my mom and she was happy for me. I then went and scheduled my phone
interview for 11:30 AM on September 8th, since I couldn’t schedule
it on the first day, the 7th, because I had classes. Still, I was
ready and I immediately threw myself into researching possible questions for
the phone interview. I was not about to blow this, but I was extremely nervous.
Not so much for the interview, but for other things which I will discuss in my
next entry.
Until
next time,
