Why are you interested in this job? What is your biggest life goal? Sorry, what was it you majored in? (She had not looked over my application & had never heard of my major) If chosen for a second round interview, would morning or evening work better?

After a few minutes it became apparent my tour was really a rolling interview designed to both put me at ease and to prevent me from using all those stock answers I had been rehearsing. My head was spinning. Floral Department - what types of flowers have the most impact on you? Linen Department- do you like the way the light reflects off that or do you prefer the flat finish? Lighting - "Meet Tom, he is our expert. Ask him any question you want about Lighting. It went on and on - Audio, Props, Sets, Special Effects, and then finally the office sit down. By then I was elated to be sitting in that chair ( a scene I had played over and over and dreaded in my mind). My resume was finally in her hand and I was ready to shine. I knew how to answer the questions which were sure to come but no - more torture! What was the funnest event you ever attended - what made it fun? What was the worst - give me 5 things that you would have done better? In the end I got the job and four years later I myself got to take a poor unsuspecting applicant on this same emotional roller coaster.
