Face To Face

I went to the interview at the large tech company yesterday.  I had to do three back to back interviews with three different managers.  Surprisingly, I did a lot better than I thought I would.  I didn't stammer as much as I did when I was doing the telephone interview with the manager at the pharmacy company nor did I freeze up.  I was even able to immediately answer questions I wasn't expecting.  I guess four years of psychological and social self-training is starting to pay off.  Though I felt it went well, I think I should ask more questions when the interview is nearly over.  I ask the second interviewer several questions and she asked if I had anymore, when I said no, she asked me if I'm sure.  I may not have made a good impression for that interviewer. I also could have improved my body language.  I realized that I was slightly slouching the whole time when I should have sat up straight.  I also think I was looking out through the corner of my eye when talking to two of interviewers when they sat next to me rather than across from me.  Amount of eye contact was good though.  Whether I will get accepted or not will depend on them.

Despite the scorching weather in the Bay Area yesterday and having to wait almost an hour before the interview, the experience I gained from the three interviews will be helpful in the future.
