Job Interviews YUCK!!

Tweet

I am on a quest for a job so I have been sending out my resume to various companies. So far I have had two interviews. The first one I thought went very well the gentleman was very nice and we laughed about a few things. I was extremly comfortable from the time I walked in the door. On the second however, I wanted to leave the moment I got in the door. The interviewer made me wait 15mins and never said a word like sorry for the wait or anything. Then he kept calling me Kathleen when my name is clearly Katherine. I corrected him once but I was unsure if I should have kept on. It became very clear that he wasn't going to hire me and I didn't want to work there but instead of him just leaving it at thank you for coming in he says "I feel I need to bring you into the real world a bit since you haven't worked in so long, no one is going to pay you more than $12/hr for your skills so asking for a wage between $13-$15 is almost an insult to the future employer" I looked him right in the eye and said "I am sorry you think that I have already talked with several people in my industry and this is the wage they are paying. I have already come from one interview today were he thought my wage request was more then reasonable. Oh and as a parting thought to bring you into reality if you have interviewed 120 people for this position already then my guess it isn't the people who have an issue." I just walked out and said good luck to the gal sitting and waiting her turn. I hate job interviews! I get nervous and tongue tied. I don't know why I just can't pull it together and be a normal person. So how about you do you have any interview tricks? Any truly bad experiences? Let me know I am not alone in this missery.
