Sooooo my interview is today. Holy crap I'm a bundle of nerves.
Yesterday at Le Sad Store was absolutely hectic and crazy. Despite torrential rain and looming thunderstorm people were at the store as if we were going out of business. The moment I walked in I couldn't helped but feel swamped by the amount of people crowding the aisles and cafe.
When I finally clocked in, I found out that three people called out and that we would be short staffed the whole night. Because the interview for today is scheduled a lot later than I am use to having them (mid afternoon, instead of early morning) I have contemplated whether to call out from work interview day (today) instead of coming in.
I mean, I rarely called out and I have gone to interviews before with work just hours away. I decided that I would get to work on Sunday and see how I felt. Sunday would determine whether I would want to go in; especially with a six day work week (because Evil Manager is a...evil manager).
Needless to say, I am calling out today. Yesterday was dreadful and I may have cried in an aisle. The three people who called out did so because of a party they were all attending ( i know, because they told me via texts) and combined with the state of the store and the mood of customers I quickly decided that I would call out today. Yeah, it ain't happening. After my shower, I hope I'll have a better excuse (stomach ailments) for this Interview/Bueller Day.
Outside of the disaster that was last night, I am completely excited about the interview today. I feel confident and spiffy (a tad bit nervous) and just plain excited to talk about my awesomeness to the HR Manager. This job is amazing and the company is too, and for once I feel like everything I have learned in the last three years will translate well in this sales position.
It is raining something awful outside but I will take it as a good sign. Heather and I have plans after the Big Interview to grab cupcakes and walk around the city (hence the bueller day) with two prospective new jobs at our fingertips.
I haven't been this excited in a very long time! I am so ready to take control of my life and this job will be the first step in doing so.
Ack! Time to get ready.

Oodles and buckets of good luck to you! I can't wait to hear how it went.
Ooh, and one more tip: enjoy the interview. If you go in with a feeling of "this is fun and I can't wait to talk to this person," it keeps the nerves down and the confidence up.
Rock it, yo. :)
how'd it go, how'd it go, how'd it go??? I've been wondering about the interview since the anesthesia-fog lifted on Monday night!
I have so much to say about my interview on monday I don't think one post will cover it.
To summarize: the job I applied to WAS NOT the job he was looking to hire for. He describe the job as a Sales Coordinator position to get more applicants interested in working for their company.
OH, and the company consists of 65 employees. ONLY. That means while there are offices in Europe, Asia and Africa this company currently has 65 people working for them.
The interview was soooo bad, I can only laugh about it. Seriously, towards the end I sort of went 'sooo what exactly are you hiring for because everything you just said contradicted the job post'. It wasn't creepy or unsafe in the least but he may have stretched some things and their company website is very mislead.
I've been trying to write a post about it but I am much too ticked by the whole experience to get past a few paragraphs of that day.
I'm glad the surgery went well though! I was worried and anxious about your progress.
But yes, tomorrow all the deets on the interview will be on here :)
