On My Way to an interview

[Crankin]

I am leaving shortly for my first interview for a clinical internship for next year; I am nervous! Mostly because, as opposed to other interviews I had when I was teaching, I don't feel like I "know" that much about my new profession. I guess it's like going from being the expert/mentor to being the low person on the totem pole. While I know this is normal for all beginning therapists to feel, I think it's intensified a bit more for me because I already had a successful career.
But, the interview is at the counseling center at a small state college (5,000) in central MA, where I have actually taken many courses. It's one of my top choices because it's in the opposite direction of Boston, no stress driving there, and when the weather is bad they close! I am already thinking how I can ride my bike there; probably too far to commute, but there is a nice parking lot for a rail trail about 12 miles from there and I could definitely do that...
And I am wearing my black Shak and cranberry Kate with a wool skirt and boots, so I will have the support of the wool weenies as I sit there!

Good luck, hope you've done your homework, know how to answer the standard questions and remember, interviewing is a game between you and the HR person.

That's how I see it.

Good luck! If you haven't left yet brush on "modality speak", whenever we interviewed interns or new staff therapists the question "which treatment modality do you find most effective for ____________" was always asked.

And the answer is???

Good luck Crankin! Hope they love you, and offer you a nice salary to boot!
