Review, Fake Personality

My dad bumped into the client who worked at the large tech corporation several days ago.  He asked her why wasn't I chosen as an intern and she said it was because the managers said I didn't talk enough.  Great, just great.  I actually thought my interview with the the three managers was decent, but apparently they were expecting more.  Looking back at the few interviews I had, I sound like an absolute idiot.  Regional audit manager ask me what are my hobbies and I respond with that I take hikes around Golden Gate Park.  Seriously, what the hell was I smoking?  My body may have not reacted poorly to being interviewed, but my mind sure froze up.  Interview for the student payroll position, the manager asked me if I would be interested in learning the payroll system and I responded with "if I found it interesting, I definitely would."  Facepalm.  I should have responded with "yes definitely, I'm always interested in learning new things."  The interview with the economics company was so messed up, I don't even know where to begin.  I really need to work on my personality.  I need to create a fake one that others can relate to.

My test results for the audit associate came back and I failed it by a few points.  I can't believe it.  The test wasn't even math heavy and was more focused on customer service.  This must be a sick, twisted joke by the universe where accounting exams are about interpersonal interactions.  Ugh.  At least another city job opened up.  I wonder how I'll do on that.
