Their faces were pleasant and smiling. But somehow, they intimidated me. I sat restlessly rubbing my fingers against each other, waiting for them to finish reading my resume. It was my first placement interview and I was brimming with worry. Waiting patiently for them to begin, I watched as they made notes from that sheet of paper that defined me professionally.
A basic question was thrown at me. I answered, but not without stuttering. Then came another, and another, and I found myself drawing a blank. They were subjects that I was familiar with, but it so seemed that I struggled to explain the fundamentals. It was clear that they didn't want to waste their time any further and I was shown the door. The floodgates waited till I got out of the building to release the tears.
