It was a typical Tuesday. I was up early that morning
for my daily workout. Then I hopped in the shower and got dress for
the day. I made breakfast since they say breakfast is the most
important meal. But the day was not a typical Tuesday. I
was wearing my best pantsuit and my hair curled in all the rights
places. Interviews can be nerve wracking and even though it
wasn't my first time, it still created butterflies. I wonder will I
make a good impression. Will they even like me? Will I
like them? Does the job pay well? Can I really do
this? Too many questions flooded my head as I ate my cereal.
Taking a deep breath as I sipped my tea, I prepared myself for the
journey.

ReplyDeleteOh, I'm so glad I don't have to do that anymore! I've been both interviewee and interviewer and I'm not sure what was worse. I wish you all the best and hope you got the job. I like the way the haiku reflects those feelings in such a subtle way.
ReplyDeleteYou have described well the anxiety and doubts we have before an interview. I love the calming effect of the haiku.
