Yeah, I guess it does depend on the type of person you are. I wasn't a natural interviewer at all when I first got out of college and I had some awkward-as-fuck interviews. But after law school (which is basically a three-year gauntlet of formal and informal interviews) I became pretty solid.

I don't mind interviews.

In fact, I feel like I hit a home-run with the SLCO interview to the point that when I asked "hey, do I need an official transcript for this other posting (said posting was mentioned during my interview)" the main point of contact, IE, the head of the Paralegals/legal assistants seemed HAPPY I was asking about another position in their office. I feel good about it to the point that if I don't get the job it's because they somehow found some law school graduates willing to take the job.

The issue with the Pierce County job is I get that Pierce County is a far larger jurisdiction than Whatcom County where I am now. There's no question about that. There's also no question District Court will almost always generally be busier in the criminal realm because of it covering more subjects essentially.

However, when you're in a smaller jurisdiction like mine it means you have less staff/Judicial Officers to cover hearings and shit. As an example, we have 4 Judges and only 3 clerks in the Criminal Dept. I mentioned in response to a question about how I would deal with a high stress environment that we average 80 cases on our motions calendar a week which can be a struggle and one of the interviewers fucking openly laughed at my response. Like... I get District Court in Pierce County might have 200 cases a day... that's nice but you also have like 10-15 clerks and about 10 Commissioners and another 8 Judges to handle all this shit... We have... 3 Commissioners and 4 Judges and only 1 Judge does the Criminal rotation every month so it's not like you can spread shit out to alleviate the burden.

The openly laughing when I said "for us an 80 person calendar is large" really irked me. Like yeah, ok... 80 compared to your 200 is small but let's also note that say in places like Alaska where they only have like 2 cops in a small town that like 4 murders is high for them compared to the high numbers you see in like LA.


I'm not offbase feeling like this am I? That reaction to that question is what bothers me the most about the Pierce County interview and why I frankly want out of this state. Every time I have interviewed for King County, City of Seattle, or Pierce County I feel like the interviewers look down on me a bit cause "oh look, this small town kid doesn't know what real work is" completely ignoring that the smaller your town is the harder your job becomes when you have just one person in the office missing.

Pierce County and King County can recover fine when one person from a department is missing cause they got 10 people in each department.. Where I live? 1 person gone means the work goes from 3 people to 2 and if there are 3 different hearings your department is having it means... well, you're all going to Court today which means the over the counter shit gets backed up.


The asshole that sent me the "denial" also hasn't responded to my question.

FUcking pussy

Just did learn something new:

The last child to be killed under Aktion T4 was Richard Jenne on 29 May 1945, in the children's ward of the Kaufbeuren-Irsee state hospital in Bavaria, Germany, more than three weeks after U.S. Army troops had occupied the town.[67][68]

I knew a girl from the Alps of France who her dad grew up in East Berlin stealing bread and shit to take home after school. HIS mother remembers the end of WWII as a young girl. She noted that the German media had the civilians living in fear of both the Soviets and Americans and she said the Soviets went block to block looting their way through Berlin. The Americans were looters too to a point but they almost always seemed far more interested in booze instead of taking literally everything like the Soviets.

She also said the other key difference between the two groups was that the American GI was far more likely to lean down and give a kid chocolate or something or after the occupation started play ball with the kids and shit whereas the Soviets would shove kids out the way.


EDIT:
I have no idea why this story came to mind just now.

Chemistry is why I changed majors halfway through my freshman year of college.

Went to WSU and entered the Neuroscience program with the intent of going to veterinarian school. A combo of seeing how much Chem I had to take IN ADDITION to realizing I didn't want to spend my life putting animals to sleep once or twice a week made me shift.

I wasn't there so I don't know, so don't take this the wrong way, but is it possible that this reaction upset you right away? This will have an impact on your face and body language, just saying. Personal fit is always a big deal in my experience when you have several people fitting the requirements. And if they felt you get easily triggered...

Seems like the less I've wanted the job being interviewed for the better it's gone. Guess I don't have that clutch gene. :oops:

Haha I think most people are that way. I certainly have had the same experience.

Teachers make all the difference. My highschool chem teacher showed us how to make explosives without blowing ourselves up (after a mishap by another student), how to ferment and distill alcohol and made the Principal shit himself by igniting a garbage bag of oxy-acetylene mix in the quadrangle.
Great times.

There might have been a slight reaction on my face I will admit (I think I noted that on the last page but can't remember now) but I'd like to think I have a decent poker face from spending years in Court hearing defendant's claim that the 12 year old girl came on to them.

Soviet forces apparently were more likely to use rape as a weapon, too.

That was something else I was going to note initially and then decided my week I've seen 4 separate rape cases and felt that I didn't want to bring up more sexual assault.

The "salt wives" thing from Game of Thrones has a basis in reality to the Soviets in WWII and real life Vikings.

Apparently her grandmother grew up in a small apartment essentially and it was decided by those still there when the Americans and the Soviets were walking into Berlin that:
"we better move to the American lines. They may all have mohawks and facepaint and be murderers but they aren't using rape as a means of control like the Soviets"

Neuroscience? :eek:

I skipped chem in HS. Decided my third year of college I wanted to study human nutrition. Seemed ok up until organic chemistry. My God. Took two years off to regroup and study something else. lol

I never wanted a job less than my current position. Best interview ever.

The brain is interesting as fuck but there's too much Chemistry involved for me to earn a degree in it. :P
