<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your fingers curl into fists impulsively, your heart beating out of your chest. You take the deepest breath you ever have as you stare at the door ahead of you.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Aqu\u00ed va nada. <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Simultaneously excited and anxious\u2014but mostly anxious\u2014you walk through it into an office; one you\u2019ve been hoping and praying to every single day for the last twelve months, your mind reeling with a billion thoughts that all focus on one thing:<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n El futuro.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Your<\/em> futuro.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Stern eyes look up at you behind dark-rimmed glasses, a vertical furrow separating them. They both belong to a stocky, middle-aged man who sits behind a slightly cluttered desk, holding a form in his hand. His permanent, involuntary frown greets you, one of those \u201cresting bitch faces\u201d that you can always spot because you have one yourself. Then again, you wonder if it\u2019s intentional; an intimidation tactic so many interviewers use to test the mental fortitude of potential hires. If it es<\/em>, est\u00e1 funcionando a las mil maravillas.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u201cHave a seat\u2026\u201d his eyes dart to the form briefly before meeting yours again, \u201cMiss Myers.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You settle into the chair across from him, calmly lacing your fingers under his desk to suppress the urge to drum them against the armrest. Or fiddle with your hair. Or pull it out altogether.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You don\u2019t tener<\/em> the luxury of showing fear. Not even a little. So, no nervous quirks. No fidgeting. No signs of unease. None of that. Not now. Not here. Not while you\u2019re in the middle of an interview\u2014la<\/em> entrevista\u2014para la pasant\u00eda de su vida.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Yet, even with your resolve, you\u2019re nervous. Nervous as hell. But a lifetime of practice veiling your emotions ensures you don\u2019t show it. You suppose you can thank your parents for that. Who knew there\u2019d be a silver lining to their \u201ceducational system\u201d, after all?<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Deja el formulario, sin perder tiempo.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n "As\u00ed que cuentame sobre ti."<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Despite your tenseness, you answer without a hitch, integrating truth and relevance with what you know a person in his position most likely wants to hear.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Y luego sigue la siguiente pregunta.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00bfCu\u00e1les son sus puntos fuertes? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Y el siguiente<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00bfCu\u00e1les son tus debilidades? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0Y el siguiente<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n \u00bfC\u00f3mo te describir\u00edan tus profesores\/amigos\/compa\u00f1eros de clase\/compa\u00f1eros de trabajo? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfD\u00f3nde te ves en cinco a\u00f1os? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n de que logros est\u00e1s m\u00e1s orgulloso? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Que sabes de nuestra compa\u00f1ia? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 decidiste solicitar un puesto de pasant\u00eda con nosotros? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 considera que es una buena oportunidad? <\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfPor qu\u00e9 deber\u00edamos considerarte?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Inquiries come one after another, and you tackle each one without missing a beat, keeping your answers precise, straight to the point and on topic, making sure you sound assured and professional but not forgetting to be personable so that you don\u2019t come off mechanical. You manage to uphold a straight face the entire time, keeping your eyes on the bridge of your interviewer’s nose; a trick you learned long ago to feign confidence. Maintaining eye-contact without actually maintaining eye-contact.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n But, in spite of your nerves\u2014birthed from both your current situation and tendencies typical of an introvert\u2014genuine, undiluted passion drives you, allowing that select emotion to bleed through your calm facade, manifesting in your voice and in your expression.<\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfCon qu\u00e9 tipo de personas te resulta m\u00e1s dif\u00edcil trabajar?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfQui\u00e9n fue el peor compa\u00f1ero de trabajo\/compa\u00f1ero de clase con el que has trabajado?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfCu\u00e1l es uno de los conflictos m\u00e1s dif\u00edciles que has podido resolver?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 tan bien trabajas con otras personas?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfTrabajas mejor bajo presi\u00f3n o con tiempo para planificar y organizar?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n Describa c\u00f3mo asigna su tiempo y establece sus prioridades en un d\u00eda t\u00edpico.<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 buscas en tu posici\u00f3n ideal?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 es m\u00e1s importante para usted; completar un trabajo a tiempo o hacerlo bien?<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n \u00bfQu\u00e9 tipo de decisiones son las m\u00e1s dif\u00edciles para ti?<\/em>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n And, just like that, the interview that has consumed your life for months is over, a hell of a lot faster than you thought it would be. It\u2019s almost a blur, really.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Concluding, the interviewer informs you that you\u2019ll receive both an email notification and official acceptance letter in the post if you\u2019re selected.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You thank him for his time, smile, and walk out. You damn near collapse once you close the door behind you, slouching against it as weeks and weeks of built-up tension seeps out of your body.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Dios, necesito un trago<\/em>, is all you can think, realizing the magnitude of your state considering the rarity of alcohol in your life.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You guess all there’s left to do now is wait.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n You resign yourself to the fates, knowing you\u2019ve done the best you can and whether you get selected or not, you gave it your all.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n ***<\/span><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Your fingers curl into fists impulsively, your heart beating out of your chest.
