The Interview

How did my interview go? It could only happen to me. 
I had an interview this morning. The lady interviewing me meets me at the door and tells me I will need to fill out an application, but there is a meeting going on so I will need to wait till it's over then she will come out and get me. Ok. I sit quietly and can hear the whole meeting. Every word. I might as well be in there. The waiting area is empty and hollow. Every sound echoes. 

Suddenly the biggest crow I have ever seen comes up to the glass doors and starts knocking with his 6 inch beak (no lie)! I swear to God it sounds just like knocking. It pauses and knocks again about six times. This is very loud and resonates through the whole waiting room. I then hear someone from the next room say among themselves, "is someone needing something?"

Then another knock from the crow. A woman finally sticks her head out of the meeting door and looks directly at me sitting there, alone, .....with a stupid grin on my face. All I do is point at the doors and say "CROW".  She just closes the door and the next thing I hear is a room full of people laughing! 

I had heard this company had openings but couldn't find information on what positions were available. So I just emailed my resume and cover letter to the only contact info I had. When I was asked what made me want to apply for this position (not knowing what it was), I answered "because it was open". The women kinda lowered their heads and chuckled. My career management teacher Dan Nichols is probably wondering if I learned anything. 

So between the crow and my not so smooth answer I either got the job with flying colors or will never be allowed on the premises again. As Debbie Heritage-McDowell suggested, through gales of laughter, "I wonder what a crow knocking on the door of an interview means. Omen? Goodluck?"  Well I've got another interview tomorrow. Wonder what adventure awaits me there!
