Today, I signed up for an interview with an architectural firm that's coming to our school on Saturday. I'll get dressed up, bring my portfolio, and pretend I'm on a real interview, but I won't be. They're not hiring. They're only doing informational interviews with the full disclosure that they are actually not hiring at this time. Six firms are coming to this event, informational-interviewing students all day, and then not hiring any of them. Thanks. Thanks for this....opportunity?

Why am I going? Because I'm terrified of interviews and I figure if this one's a flop it doesn't matter. And I'll probably learn something and feel more confident going to the next one....one that has the promise of an actual paycheck at the end of it. Or maybe I'll nail it, maybe they'll be so blown away by my work and my poise that they'll call up headquarters and tell them to put aside 100k and a desk with a view. Maybe.
