Oh me! Oh my!

So, as all of you may have already experienced. Getting a job isn't always a walk in the park. I know this just as much as most of you. I'm one of the few who's searched for jobs, sent out tons of resumes, and had very little call backs for interviews. But for those interviews that I actually acquired and went to, I never got the job.

My first interview was with Staples, didn't get a call back.

Second was Subway, nothing.
The Source, uh uh.
Baby-sitting, kinda got the job but the employer didn't respond after sending me an email saying I was hired.
Zellers: Sales Associate, nadda.
Sears: Sales Associate-> Jewelry Department, nope.
Salsbury House, maybe next time.

And next time indeed. By this point I was kinda let down and maybe starting to develop a small hatred for interviews altogether, I decided to try whatever I felt like doing the next time. Whatever being the infamous phrase "When do I start?" when asked "Do you have any questions?"

And that's what I did. My next interview was on December 28th, 2010 at 11 am. It was for a new Mini Donuts shop that was just opening. My interview was actually going great, and I thought, well it's now or never, and I did say that I was going to try it. I have nothing to lose anyways. So I did. And as soon as I said it, they seemed to have stop smiling and stared at me as if I had just burst into flames. For the rest of the day, I wish I had.

Then, on January 4th, 2011. I got a phone call from them saying that I got the job and believe me I was more than thrilled. I couldn't believe it! So as much of a happy camper that I was, I decided to start writing down about future interviews and what the interviewers reactions would be when I say that cliche clever phrase. Of course I'll tell you, my readers, if I do get the job or not.

Well, good luck with job hunting my unemployed friends!
