Woke up early on tuesday morning for the publication interview. I was a bag of nerves yesterday and couldn't fall asleep. It certainly amazed me how much effects can one interview had on me. Been preparing and practising for the interview for countless times.
Took a cab to the place. After meeting the associate editor, he assigned me the task of writing in less than half and hour! Imagine that. I was seriously unprepared to write especially at such hour in the morning. Furthermore, I had just finished my exams last Friday and I am still fatigued from all that late-nights cramming. The topic was quite ridiculous as it was on the issue of fresh graduates finding difficulties to get jobs. Oh well, I couldn't possibly backed out right? After leaving me alone in the Green Room, I began the task of writing. It was tough at first but ideas seem to flow out after a while. I wrote in an article style with various so-called interviewees. Frankly speaking, it wasn't my best writing but heck, he gave me approximately half-an-hour only to complete it. I couldn't afford to write a lot and there should be numerous grammatical errors! Haha... Seriously, I should start revising grammar rules again.
After the writing task, he interviewed me. The whole process took about one hour or so. I felt so relieved. Hopefully, I got the job. If not, it's their lost.
