That was the most uneventful interview I’ve ever gone through.

I got there at about 5:20pm for a 5:30pm interview. About 5 minutes after I get there, the woman interviewing me comes out and brings me into the most unorganised janitor’s closet office I’ve ever been in. She gives me the worst handshake anyone could possibly give (imagine shaking hands with a corpse), and tells me to have a seat on the folding chair. We go over my previous retail experience, and what I do now (no, I didn’t pimp out the members area). She explains what the jobs are (either jewelry or drapery department), scheduling (rotating days and nights and weekends), and pay (minimum wage-ish plus commission). Then we do the typical quiz portion of the interview, where she asks me how I’d handle getting a customer to buy something, how to upsell, and all that sort of bullshit. After no more than 10 minutes, we’re done. She then tells me that they’re looking for someone with actual experience in either of the two departments, so that they don’t need to train anyone, but they will be going over all the applications and calling folks at the end of the week. Which means I get to wait a week to confirm that I didn’t get the job.
