When I got home I started thinking a lot about bravery, and what it means. Doing this has given me a richer life, and so for me, that’s my biggest accomplishment to date.” Be brave With that in mind, I moved all the way out here to Los Angeles (from North Carolina) to do what I love to do, and I studied abroad. I used to be scared of things and wouldn’t try something because I was nervous, but a couple of years ago I realized that life is just too short, and that you should do things that make you scared! The man in the plaid shirt who was managing the restaurant and running the interview looked to me, and I said “My biggest accomplishment to date is giving myself permission to do the things I’m afraid of. How do you choose what the ‘best’ thing you’ve ever done is? I thought for a while, and then suddenly I knew what to say. Then I started thinking about what I was going to say when it was my turn. But she added that the next year she worked her hardest and studied and made lots of drinks, and placed first at the next TGI Fridays competition, and second in her state (VA)! It was so neat to hear everyone’s stories! Then, another girl – Kimberly (who I’d met outside) said that when she first tried to do TGI Fridays bartending competition, she had placed really poorly. His daughter was sitting beside him (she was 18) and said her biggest accomplishment was graduating high school. The first man said that raising his wonderful daughter was his biggest accomplishment. I was suddenly very glad this was a group interview. “What is your biggest accomplishment to date?” Then, the question came that really got me. He asked our names and our favorite beer and what we would pair it with for food (the restaurant has an emphasis on craft beers).

They took ten of us (out of the 35) in at one time and we all sat around a table in a restaurant.

I had never done a group interview before, and was a little nervous just because I didn’t know what to expect. I went to a job interview today, and it was a group interview.
