Topic: Share a story

Topic #7  (just 358 to go).

These topics are optional – if you don’t like ‘em, don’t use. Feel free to post something else, or explain why you don’t like this topic as your topic. It’s all good.

Here’s today’s topic idea – brought to you by Plinky:

Share a story about a memorable job interview.

If this suggestion doesn’t fit your blog’s general topic (e.g. Your blog is about your long life without ever having a job),  that’s ok. Simply apply the question by adding or changing some words. If you’re a photo-blogger, find or take a photo of a job interview related item.

Reminder: Do not answer this in the comments. That would be very silly. You should grab this topic and write a post about it on your blog.

  1. I really like this one but I’m afraid mine might turn into a short story! I know a two parter!
    Thanks Scott

  3. Interesting idea. But, it is one I won’t be doing. However I am planning to do a story every Friday (for postaweek2011) that is fictional. This plinky prompt is a good idea, and I have to note it down for a future fictional story focused around that. Thanks! :D

      Sounds good – it’s your blog so feel free to use these ideas as you see fit.

    • Have you seen the other sites that have suggestions on them too? There have been a couple listed only I don’t have them handy.

      January 6, 2011
      • Can you send me a link to a few via my ask form? Thanks! I’d love to check em out.

    • As long as you can wait for them until I have some time. Might not be until tomorrow, is that okay?

      January 6, 2011
      • Sure thing, classyrose. Thank you!

      There are some on this page. Scott talks about one and then I think there are some further down.

  9. Not crazy about this idea. I guess because I have had so many interviews where social norms as well as laws were broken so I’ll think of something else for today’s post. LOL

    January 6, 2011
  10. This topic is too risky for me. I’ll post something else for today’s post.

  12. I’m new to your site. Just thought I’d check it out for some inspiration. This looks like a fun topic. I just may have to use it.

    January 6, 2011
  13. hrmm, it’s risky to post anything to do with career wise on the internet!
    but it’s a good one for those who are game!

  14. Loneliness of the long distance blogger. Posted today about the long slog of committing to writing a blog post. And guess what, it resonated with a tweet and a comment from others. Just need to keep at it! Here’s the link:

  15. Hmm. I think I’d be better off writing a fictional short story about a job interview…if I were to do this. But my blog doesn’t feature any of my creative writing, and I’m a bit hesitant about putting that sort of thing online to be misinterpreted by heavens knows who ;p. I’m chicken!

    January 6, 2011
  16. Cool topic. I’ll write about my FLEX interview
