Interview update

I have heard from all but one of the sites I applied to....the Ole Miss e-mail was partially working by Monday (I had to access it using Mozilla Thunderbird). I found an e-mail from Oregon State--they rejected me. That left three sites I hadn't heard from. I e-mailed the remaining three today....turns out that two sites had e-mailed Friday while the OleMiss email was down and I didn't get the emails. Annoying. Anyway, I got rejected by Wasatch Mental Health in Provo, UT. I got offered an interview at the University of Utah Neuropsychiatric Institute in Salt Lake City. The interview is on-site and will be on Jan 18th. I still haven't heard from one site (it's in Portland) and I'm not really sure what is up with that. They haven't responded to my e-mail yet. So, the total now....7 interviews, 7 rejections, and 1 site that hasn't contacted me.

I had my first interview this afternoon. It was a phone interview (the site only does phone interviews). It went ok, I guess. It's so hard to tell with phone interviews since you can't see the people on the other end. It was with two of the psychologists on staff at the counseling center. They were on speaker phone. I feel like I answered some of the questions pretty well, but feel like I didn't do so hot on some of the others. It was hard because this was the first interview. Plus, I was SOOOOO anxious. I'm glad to have one under my belt now. Tomorrow is my interview with the Boise site. I really, really hope it goes well since I feel like it's the most important one. They said I would meet with the psychologists for an hour and then meet with the current interns for an hour. Wish me luck!!
