I got an early start this morning. Woke up at 8:00 AM - Which is totally early for some of us! - and hauled ass downtown to Barnes & Noble for their 9:00 AM group interview.
I honestly don't know how it went. I was the first one to show up and was chatting with the manager doing the interviews and we seemed to get along all right. I think I might have made an impression, but I'm not sure.
There were four other people there. A very nice young lady, a single mom taking a business management course at UAA and a couple of youngish college guys. One guy had a Beiber cut and the other guy was a very quiet black dude.
The interview was interesting, but I don't know how well I did. They only asked like three or four questions. I think I gave some pretty good answers on a couple of 'em. The manager guy looked at me and sort of nodded, which I take as a positive.
But the single mom did exceptionally well. She was very well spoken. I'm tempted to use the word erudite to describe her responses. The young lady sitting next to me was enthusiastic. As for the other guys? The black dude was just too quiet, in my opinion, and the Beiber hair guy was enthusiastic, but sort of twitchy.
Eh. They'll review their notes and if I haven't heard anything by the end of next week, I'll know it was a wash.
In other, job-related news, I faxed in a follow up document to a temp job I applied for last week. Its with a research firm that does political polling. The work sounds interesting, as long as I don't have to do it from home. I'm not cold calling people from my home phone. That's just not going to happen.
Got an e-mail from a guy who claims he saw my resume on Careerbuilder. But it read like a generic e-mail and it's a job in telephone sales, which I'm so not interested in. And speaking of Careerbuilder, I sent off my resume to their free resume review and got a totally generic response, stuffed full of links to their pay services. Fuckers.
My own fault though, since you get what you pay for.
That's pretty much it right now. Hope things are going well for y'all.
Still alive and looking for the right job. - G.
