No more whining. I promise.
Got a job - part-time with the chance to go full time in a few months. I guess this means I can’t bitch anymore?
I swear, this was the fastest interview/hiring process ever. I walked into the place (a well-known print shop whose name rhymes with “Plinko”, that Price is Right game), which I noticed was hiring when I drove past Friday night. I go up to the counter, ask the woman behind it if they’re still hiring, and she hands me an application and tells me to have a seat and fill it out. Ten minutes later, the app is filled out, and I bring it back up to her. She tells me not to leave because she wants to look over it with me. She opens the application and looks over my resume, confirming what software I’ve got experience with and what hours I can work.
“This looks good,” she tells me. “Looks very good. I’m going to show this to the manager, and he’ll probably call you back in a day or so for an interview.” What fun! Another application going into the black hole of a filing cabinet, I think. We shake hands (yet another person with a limp noodle handshake), and I head back out to the car to tell a waiting Eddie how it went.
I get half-way to the car when the chick comes running out after me. “Ma’am! Can you come back in?” I walk back to the store and she says, “I showed my manager your resume and he wants to talk to you right now. He told me not to let you leave yet.” Well then, that’s a good sign, I guess. We walk back in, and she tells me to take a seat near at the desk with the computer at it.
I wait for about 10 minutes before the manager comes and sits across from me. We go over my resume and the application for about 5 minutes - typical stuff about where I’ve worked before, what sort of computer experience I’ve got, basic pay requirements, and what hours I can work. “This is good,” he says. “Can you come in tomorrow morning to fill out some paperwork? You’re hired.”
Yay!
