I’ll never forget my first job interview.
It was a 36 position at an elementary school in my hometown.
I was very 37 and worried, but I thought I had an “in” 38
I knew many people in this district. I felt 39 that
the interview would be a piece of cake. I had 40 well for my
interview; I had been 41 interview questions in front of my
mirror for days. I wore my navy blue suit and took my 42 of
lessons I had taught during student teaching. There was 43 I
would not face this interview.
After arriving at the school about half an
hour early, I waited 44 in the office. The secretary told me not
to be nervous.“ Just 45 ,”he advised. When the time for
my interview 46 came, I was so nervous that I didn’t think I
could 47 any questions. Inside the interview room, 48
people sat at a round table: two teachers, two principals(校长),and a member of the school
board .I had been 49 there would only be three people at the
interview, and was overwhelmed(不知所措的)by the presence of 50 interviewers.
Once the interviewers started asking
questions, 51 ,I answered with ease. Everyone smiled and we
even 52 .After they finished asking questions, the 53
told me they would call me in two weeks. Two years later ,I ‘m still
waiting for the 54 ! I eventually found out that it was my
lack of 55 that kept me from getting the job offer.
