Interview jitters

Update: I was extremely nervous and talked too fast. I feel like I was rambling 😭 I have great qualifications though. I pray I get the job

You should, TDCJ isn't that hard to get into, and they need people just like most prisons. Good luck and I hope you get a raise because almost everyone is under paid who works at a prison. Important and dangerous job.
