to put it bluntly, my interview didnt go well.
in the prerequisites for the masters programme there was no mention of the need for teaching experience at all.
so you can imagine the nasty shock i got during the interview, where i was constantly 'reminded' (this is putting it nicely) that i had NO teaching experience and would therefore struggle if i were in the programme. and psychologists are supposed to be UNBIASED, no?
on top of that, one of the interviewer (there were 2) mentioned tt i was very young. YES i am young. but does that make me any less capable?
this has held true time and time again, particularly for the field of psychology: YOUNG = NO EXPERIENCE = LOUSY.
if pple want to hold that mindset, fine by me. if they are already biased towards me and have marked me down in their minds, there is nothing i can do to change that.
i am only disappointed with myself that i did not answer the questions or defend myself as well as I SHOULD AND COULD HAVE. i was just not up to standard that day, and went away from the whole thing feeling very small indeed.
my spirit is crushed, and i will eventually pick myself up. but in the meantime dont blame me if im a grouch.
i dont really want to go into details abt the interview, cos reliving the experience leaves me with a bitter taste in my mouth.
so thats all.
