Two days ago, out of sheer boredom, I decided to search online for any local reporting jobs. While there weren't any in the reporting field, I found two for copy writing and copy editing, so I applied. What would it hurt right? Besides, I don't want to be working for Rite Aid my whole life.
Yesterday, I recieved a phone call while I was at work from the one looking for a copy writer trainee. It's $10 to start and while I know that doesn't seem much especially since I have to travel 20 minutes, I look at the long run. They have great benefits and internal promotions are possible. Besides, any experience is great for resume, which right now has a 2 yr lull as far as the journalism field goes.
Today, I called the woman back and I have an interview next Tuesday at 9:30 in the morning. She mentioned that I have to take a short test which is really simple on a microsoft document. Ok so this is where I start getting nervous.
1) Taking tests always get me nervous because for some reason I always do bad on them.
2) Usually when they say simple, its not simple or
3) It is simple but I overthink and make it more then it seems. Thus doing bad.
I guess when I go in there I just have to stay calm and take out the old motto from college. To help me focus and not freak out in an exam, I would just act like I didn't have a care in the world and just say "If I pass I pass, I fail I fail". It always worked. I usually passed the exam with flying colors. The only problem here is that it isn't an exam I can study for which makes me even more nervous. I have no clue what to expect. I guess I just have to take their word for it. It's simple.
