Out of the half dozen internships I applied to, I received one hit. It was from some pharmacy company north of San Francisco for a finance intern position. After a week of emails back and forth, the recruiter and I scheduled a telephone interview for this morning to see if I would be a good fit for the position. After four years of constantly trying to improve myself socially and in interacting with people, this was the moment I was preparing for. Despite several years of improvement and psyching myself up for the last few days, my interview with her was a mess. I felt like I was trying to rush through it and end it as quickly as possible. While I did followed proper social etiquette, I stuttered a bit and was extremely nervous throughout the whole thing. The recruiter stated that she will relay the information to the finance manager and contact me later, but I got the feeling that I won't be hearing from her again. I found myself pacing back and forth for half an hour afterwards wondering what I could have said better. I guess I should just write this one off and apply to more internships or even full time jobs.
On another note, I got accepted into SJSU again for computer science. It's a plan B, if needed.
Note to self: Work on telephone interactions.
