Anyone who will take time to read my blog knows me well enough to realize how much I enjoy talking about myself - not at all!!!
This morning I had a phone interview for a job I applied for not long ago. The call lasted just over 30 minutes. And I will tell you, it was the most exhausting half hour of my life! It was only 9:30 a.m. when I hung up the phone, but I felt like I had already put in a full day's work - I was (and am) ready to go loaf for the rest of the day.
The interview was not difficult. The questions were very generic - like those found on "common interview question" handouts. So I feel I was prepared and provided solid answers. So why the exhaustion?
Well, I don't know if I have spoken about myself for a solid 30 minutes ever before in my lifetime. I do not know why, but I have never liked talking about myself. Even when people sincerely ask about my schooling, career goals, relationships, etc. I usually give a short answer and quickly change the subject. I shift the focus to them instead of me. Why do I do that? Why am I so uncomfortable sharing my life with others? I really do not know.

I am glad the interview went okay. I hope this job is somewhere in Utah?!? Trent is already telling the boys when the snow is gone they get to go camping with Jake!
you are alive jamie and i have both made comments that you never blog you slacker. But that's Good things went well
I can relate to how you feel on several levels. I had two interviews this week and hate the whole process. But I hope that all goes well with your job hunt and you get the job you want!
I love this post! Great honesty, from a great man! When you figure out the answer, please let me know because I have the same problem!
Best of Luck
