charliesmumSo I did the interview thing. For the record, I wore this cute black shirt with purple flowers and these black trousers I had in my closet - thank goodness, with the not working in an office for over a year, I was severely lacking in dress casual clothes. Especially since the things I did have no longer fit.
There were 6 other people there besides me, two men and 4 women. We all were approximately the same age - early 30s and up, I'd guess. There were 8 people from the group there as well. We were shown this slide show that discussed what they did and how they did it, and then we were individually interviewed by two panels.
My first interview went well, I think. The first thing I was asked was, "What would you say to someone who was scared?" I said that I would tell them that it can't hurt them, and the best way to stay in control was to not let the fear take you over. That the entity is not trying to scare you, but just get your attention. That seemed to go well.
Then we talked about my claim to being sensitive, and I think I scored a point, because I mentioned an experience I had in this place near here, and it turns out they've documented some things in that house. So cool.
The second interview I think went well, but I'm not as sure. I didn't get as good a vibe, if you know what I mean. I think maybe I was trying too hard.
Ultimately they have room in their training session for 5 people, so I've a 50% of not getting in at all, simply because of space.. If that happens, I can try again in August.
The guy in charge said he'd send out an email tonight or tomorrow. As of no, there is no email. So we'll see.
I'm trying not to get my hopes up, but I do hope I get in. It really sounds like it is going to be interesting. And Dave, the guy who runs it, is all personal friends with the Ghosthunter guys on Sci-fi channel. How cool is that?
