My very first phone interview.. and I should be proud.

As most of you all know on here - I am hearing impaired - and I dislike talking on the phone because it is not easy. For Christmas, my parents bought me a CapTel phone where I can see "captions" from the caller on the other end. It is pretty cool. It is actually very useful, and I am getting used to it slowly. I am not too confident to talk on the phone sometimes, so a little bit of practice, and it'll be all good in no time. :) I SHOULD be proud of myself - I would resist or refuse to use a phone for any reason, and this is a big step for myself.

So I had my first job interview OVER the phone, and I was nervous about it - I am so much better in person when it comes to a interview one-on-one. Anyways, the interviewer had a heads-up about myself being hearing impaired, and she was VERY understanding about it and took her time and I took my time, and in the end, it turned out to be a very good interview. I meet their requirements, etc. what they are looking for.. I had applied for a job position in the photography/graphics department for the small jewelry company here in Cleveland. Hopefully, I will get a call back this week or next week for a interview, so fingers crossed. Prayers please!

We are proud of you, too!

Thanks for the heads up! John's hearing impaired too, and hates talking on the phone (unless it's someone he knows who can talk sustinctly and slow). Hearing aids don't work for him, but I'll bet he'd love that phone.
