I was spacing answers to my own questions before the guy called, but I went down to see Scottie to calm down before the interview. He did calm me down.
So I got the call, and the interview was an hour long. But I think I did alright. I did mess up, but not horribly. He was asking me about field experience that I have, and about vegetation sampling. This lead to me mentioning invasive plant species, and he asked what common invasive plants were in the area. Cue me having a brain fart and apologizing for not being able to think of a single damn plant. Dx Not that the field position that I am applying for has anything to do with invasives unless I was asked to help out with something else in a different project... So I don't think that should hurt me too much. Should it? x_x;;; Damn you brain!! I know invasives, but I just wasn't prepared for or expecting that particular question which threw me off a bit and caused me to brain fart it. :P
But of course that small mess up could mean that I don't get the job. But I don't know. I guess there's nothing I can do about it now though right? So I shouldn't sweat it. Either I get it or I don't. It's now out of my hands.
So he said that he's going to call me around the end of next week with his decision. He also said that I can call with any questions that I may have.
Now all I need is my drivers license (which I am currently working on getting). :)
