Yes, interview. Just walked out of there with a feeling not unlike the LBMT. I don't have the same "I'm just glad to be done" sensation. I think I need to go back up there this afternoon and tell them a few more things. Oorah Devil Dog. I'm sure you made Chesty proud! I had the same feeling. Yeah, I reported to all my non-Board buds that I felt exactly the same way I did leaving the OPM SI. |

Just a little free association to cap off my day. Yesterday I quoted Fleetwood Mac. One member is Stevie Nicks, who is the "white witch" on "American Horror Story," and there it is, back to this process, "American Horror Story."

Not a bad experience. Started promptly at 12:00, lasted only an hour. None of the questions seemed "out of left field". Now back to waiting anxiously....

Done. I am very excited. I thought the interview went well, but I always think I interview well. I am sure the sense of relief will set in on the way home. I have done everything I can do and I am satisfied with my preparation and execution. It is out of my hands which is a huge relief in and of itself.
I don't think the wait for offers will be bad as there is nothing I can do about that. There is no more preparation for the next step. No more am I going to move on. It is done and for that I am thankful.

I had a 7:00 am flight for an afternoon interview. At 5:11pm the airline called and informed me the flight was cancelled. 5:35 am flight booked. That lady in the suit snoozing on the bench outside.... that's me.

That lady in the suit snoozing on the bench outside.... that's me. It will work out. One attribute of lawyers is the ability to go in another direction when stymied by one path. Doesn't help your nerves, but I am sure this isn't the first -- or the last --- time adjustments have to be made for interviewees. Power of Positive Thinking! (or the Power of Positive Drinking if that would better suit your day). |

Great that you had advance notice of the cancellation, rather than arriving for the 7 am after the 535 had already closed for boarding, and finding it canceled. |

That lady in the suit snoozing on the bench outside.... that's me. I had an 8:30 am nonstop flight scheduled and received a text at 11 pm that my flight was canceled. The only option to get me in on time was leaving at 5:50 am with a connection, so I took it. I got a solid 3.5 hours sleep, and yesterday ended up being a 21-hour day. Adrenaline will carry you through! Good luck! |

I thought the OMHA interview was tougher than the SSA interview. That may be because the OMHA interview gave me a better idea of what to expect when I did the SSA interview. Also I thought the SSA in person interview was easier than the OMHA video conference interview because I was able to get some facial expression feedback in the SSA interview that made me think they liked at least some of my answers. During the OMHA video interview I could not see the interviewer's faces good enough to get that kind of feedback.

I felt the same way on OMHA interview (I did not interview with SSA). I could not tell if I my answers were falling short or going past the target because I could not read any body language. The questions were one right after the other too and sometimes I thought to myself am I bombing and they are just going through the motions to finish this interview? At one point the video went out and I wanted to say "Ah Sh*t!" but I bit my tongue and they came back on 30 seconds later. |

If it makes anyone feel any better, it is possible I was bleeding from a cut on my face at my interview. Not quite vomit, but close enough. Lol.

Really too bad you, Devildog and I didnt go on the same day in the same room. With you Blood, DD's Sweat and my Tears we could have gotten together and worked in the lyrics of "Spinning Wheel." Love to see their faces when our answers included the phrase "ride a painted pony." |
