The weirdest thing happened to me the other day. I decided to apply for a job and they wanted an application essay. Any job I have ever applied for has kind of been a fill in the blanks application and I was taken aback that this one wanted an essay. I felt like I was back in school and wondered if I should study for it. Then I wondered if I really wanted the job that badly.

I decided to take the application home anyhow and think about it a little bit more. I told my mom all about it and she suggested that they were maybe doing it to find out who really was serious about wanting to work there. She said that the purpose for college admission essays is so that they can tell which students really want to be there and thought that this was maybe along the same lines as that.

I decided that I would do it, after all. I sent in an online essay with an online application and it was not very long when I got the phone call asking me to come in for an interview. I was excited that I was this close to working this job that I really wanted to have. I have my interview tomorrow afternoon and I am just hoping that it goes as well as writing the essay had.
