What are your interviews for?
Yeah the interview went pretty well. I felt rambly at a few points, but its hard not to when its a phone interview I think. Getting set up to chat with the prof's other grad students later in the week.. i think thats a good sign!

I graduate with my Respiratory Therapy Diploma /Bachelor of Health Science at the end of April. Most of the hospitals try to have the students locked down by the first few days of March.
So I will be ultimately fi.guring out where I will start my career in the next 2-3 weeks...and it is making my stomach churn. I haven't had a serious job interview since I was 18. I have never had a phone interview, and most of them will be via phone. I just don't know what to expect.

Well you can probably expect a few standard questions regarding your strengths, weaknesses, academic history, where you see yourself in x many years, why you'd like to work there, etc.
I read out loud some materials before my phone interviews... stuff like my statement of intent, abstract from my undergrad thesis... shit like that. So I have smart words primed and dont end up saying "shit like that" in my interview. Make sure I have a quiet space that no one is going to be around in. And then I listen to music for a bit before I know I'm going to get the call and just relax.
Heck, I'm off work for at least two more days... I can give you a call and we can do a mock interview! Fun!

Yeah I don't know if fun is the word I would use. I really need to find a good place to do it. I also need like large signs of the words I don't normally use but want them to think are part of my regular vocab posted all around me. One of the interviews is on the phone with like 6 people, I am akward on the phone talking to me mom, let alone 6 strangers. Eek!

Hahaha I'm sure just being you will be just fine. The awkwardness goes away pretty quick once you get focused on what they're talking about or what you're answering.
I do, however, have a list of questions ready that I can refer to that will make me look smart (but info that I also actually do need).

Q: So how did you get familiar with the Beatles?
A: They are the biggest band.

My complete and total inability to ever read a captcha code properly has lead me to believe I am a robot.

Bigger than Jesus, in fact. More popular than Jesus. Also: I am all for ridiculous notions of art based on the Beatles, but this is pretty stupid. Visually kinda cool (for about five seconds), but reading the interview with that guy illustrates just how half-baked it really is. I have a first press of The White Album, but I'd rather eat a thumb tack than sell it to that guy for five dollars.

I got a different impression from the interview - I think it's a badass art project, and the interviewer was asking ridiculously redundant questions the entire time, and the dude didn't want to throw him/her a bone.

Yeah I was actually really intrigued. It's one of those, 'unsure if totally stupid or brilliant' type of things. I'd personally like to dig through the collection just to see all the fan art doodled on the covers. That's a pretty cool site though, I ended up reading a few of those articles today. Thanks Bjorriturger.

I agree with drew. Did you guys listen to the recording of 'Side 1 x 100'? I love it, especially the way the vocals overlap on 'Dear Prudence'.
