Interviews and Eurovision

Aloha, world!

I had my first job interview yesterday. It was scary times. On the plus side, it was probably the scariest job interview I will have to do in the next few years. It was for this kids' party place that do themed parties, like High School Musical and Disney Princess, and they were looking for entertainers for the parties. So basically, it's dressing up and playing party games and stuff for a living. Plus, it's only on weekends, the parties only last about two hours and the pay is pretty damn good. And even if it wasn't well-paid, it's more money than I'm being paid at the moment (which is exactly nothing).

Anyway, I didn't have a clue what to expect when I arrived (having never been to a job interview before, and especially not one for a themed party place). There were about fifteen people there to start with, but people dropped out at each stage of the interview process and we ended up with about nine people who were willing to act, dance and sing. Basically, we had to do a little roleplay of a game that we'd do with the kids, followed by learning the 'We're All In This Together' from High School Musical. It was during the dance section that most people left, as soon they found out that they had to perform the dance on their own. Then, literally minutes before they were about to start the individual auditions, they told us that we were all expected to sing a little bit on our own. At that point, the last of the leavers left.

I was the third person they auditioned. I got in there, was given the option of having one of the staff do the dance with me and declined it, and was told that I was the first person to do it on their own. Then they asked me to sing, but my mouth had gone completely dry so I was given a glass of water, which I drank as slowly as possible while I decided what to sing. Eventually, I sang the opening of 'My Junk' from Spring Awakening, as I'd been listening to it whilst getting ready to go to the interview and therefore had it stuck in my head. It was the best singing audition I've ever done, and my voice didn't go weird like it normally does when I sing in front of people. I was then told that I was the only person so far who hadn't turned to face the back wall to sing. So that was good. They're going to back to everyone within a week *fingers crossed*.

The other thing I'm going to mention in this is Eurovision. Obviously, if you're not in Europe, you probably won't have seen it and might not even know what it is. Google it, I can't be bothered explaining. I was happy with Norway winning (that guy with the violin was SO CUTE!), but Germany should've got more points than they did. Dita von Teese was in their act, for goodness' sake! And the UK came 5th! That is amazing, considering how far down the scoreboard we normally come. So yes, overall a very good night, consisting of me and my friend mocking all the songs that weren't in English and eating ice cream.

I'm sorry if this blog post is of no interest to anyone, but that's what's been happening to me recently. Yay.

Bye <3
