Perhaps I was a little naive in thinking that I wouldn’t have any problems getting a job right after graduate school, but it’s been over 2 months and I haven’t found anything yet. I’ve heard stories of it taking 6 months, 9 months, a whole year for some people to find a job after getting a master’s degree so I’m only freaking out a little. However, I mentioned on Wednesday that I have gotten a few interviews lately, and after successfully completing a phone interview, I was invited to an in-person interview this past Friday with a local Girl Scouts office. If you know anything about me, it should be that I am extremely passionate about women’s empowerment and girls’ leadership development, and I would love to work for an organization like GS that does just that. Plus, those infamous cookies! It’s not exactly public health but I have many passions and this is just one of them. So anyway, this is what I wore to my interview.
I didn’t want to go ‘all-black suit’ because I read somewhere that it is intimidating or something ridiculous like that but I thought it looked great and I felt really confident, so I went with it! I followed my own advice about faking a suit when you don’t have one. Also, the second I laid eyes on this top I loved it. It feels so grown up to me, and the neutral colors in the floral print will go with both black and brown.
I’m pretty sure I crushed the interview questions and that it went very well. I should hear back within the next few weeks about whether I got the job or not. *Fingers still crossed*

I love the interview outfit you chose – it is professional but has some great personality as well! 🙂 Keeping my fingers crossed for you!!!
Thanks, Brynn! I actually didn’t get the job BUT I do have some even more awesome things in the works so I truly believe it has worked out (or, at least, is working out) for the best.
Girl, you look AMAZING! I really love this interview outfit. Your hair looks so pretty, too! I’m excited for you, and I hope you hear back soon! 🙂
Thank you, Jenna! Unfortunately, they decided to go with another candidate but I know the right job is out there for me somewhere 🙂
This is a PERFECT outfit to wear to an interview! Classic and professional while still being fun with the floral top. I hope you hear good news about the Girl Scouts interview!
Thanks so much, Lauren! It was really hot on the day of my interview, and when I met with the team, everyone was dressed so casually that I almost took the blazer off but I didn’t. I’m sure it would’ve been fine if I did. Anyway, I’m still not-so-patiently waiting to hear back from them and a few other organzations that I’ve talked to. *Fingers still crossed*
