Interview aftermath

Well I just finished my interview with Verizon yesterday. And to be honest I don't know how I feel about it. I answered all their questions with best of my knowledge a stuttered a bit because I was nervous. They even gave me a scenario I had to play out. And lastly I told them about my skills such as me being a multi-lingual. They told me in 3-5 Buisness days they would get back to me with a yes or no either on email or phone call. I was I bit discouraged about how many ppl their were being interviewed for the same position. This showed me that my chances are low getting this job. IDK maybe I'll get lucky. Here's hoping.

Edward, I wouldn't be too concerned about the number of people you saw at the event; it is a hyper-tight job market right now; and there are an awful lot of well-qualified people looking for employment: many have been out of work so long that they will take almost any position offered just to be employed again. Your multilingual skills could really be an asset for you; since we now live in a much smaller world we are constantly interacting with people diversely different from us. So, having the benefit of being bi-lingual truly puts you ahead of a lot of the other competition. Try and stay positive: you;re already ahead of most of us; there are a great number of us seeking employment who cannot even get an invite to an interview. You made the first cut; try and stay positive, they obviously say something in you that they thought could be of value to their company. Try and remain confident. Good luck; I hope that you hear some good news very soon. Remember; that often the person doing the interviewing is just as nervous sometimes more so than the person being interviewed. It isn't what most of these people do everyday; so try to be positive; I hope you hear some good news real soon! All the best.

That's a great recap, Edward! It sounds like you did the best you could. I know how hard it is when you're competing with a ton of people. I understand not wanting to get your hopes up but I hope something good comes from it!
