Looking Good Beehive! Interview Today?

So today I wore a suit to work, not because I really want to impress anyone at my current workplace, and not due to “dressing the part”. I felt the obvious need to wear a suit for an interview that I will have later on in the day, and since I work in a business casual environment that affords me the luxury of being able to wear comfy polo type shirts all year long I am sticking out like a sore thumb as having an interview today.

This morning as a couple of meetings let out the directors that were walking past my cube entrance stopped, took steps back to get a second glance at my glamorous look in a suit and tie with questions and comments along the lines of “Good luck on the interview today!” “Looking good. Interview today?” “Fancy party tonight or an interview?” “Oooh, white shirt. That’s different for you. Interview?” “Love the tie.” “I like your suit.” “I know pretty much everyone on the floor is interviewing, do you have one today? You do, where? Doing what”

I answered all of them with a smile and honesty. Only I left out one part, the hope that of my internal voice inside my head of “I hope I don’t screw it up.” At the same time of my thinking this internally another part of my internal voice tells me “You’re interviewing you for an internship. How hard could the questions being asked be?”

I honestly don’t know the answer to that question…all I know is that lets not go and screw this interview up, okay! Let’s not go and screw up our mindset. Let’s envision only the good things that can come from a good interview:

Different industry + new job + low pay = good times.
