Today, for the first time in over 2 years, I went to a job interview.
Yes, it's true. Swear to Goddess.
I was happily playing CIV III, that my sweet Hubby had sent me, when the phone rings, and a guy I've never talked to before in my life calls from a company I've never heard of, and says that he has found my resume on the Unemployment Agency's webpage, and thinks it sounds promising. We talk a little, he asks me to tell him about myself, and I do so, without bothering to be modest, because modesty, I've learned, is very, very dangerous - people MIGHT take you seriously and go to someone who claims they DO know what they're doing - and then he asks me to come over for a job interview. "Sure," I say. "When?" "Well, it's pretty slow today... can you come over now?"
Hop in the shower, get dressed, put on make-up, off to the bus - and I'm in the meeting, I talk to him for 45 minutes, and I think I made a good impression, because when I left, he gave me a gift - a bottle of perfume from their newest collection - and even gave me a ride to the bus stop, so I wouldn't be late for my driving lesson!
He said they'd call me. Oh, I hope I'll get it! Or that other job, the computer technician one. When it rains, it pours, huh..?
This job was about updating a webpage, handling orders from salesmen, writing out invoices, answering the phone, organizing the structure of the company, that sort of thing.
Just the fact that they looked me up, and contacted me, because they thought I was interesting - my self confidence has really got a rise out of this!
I've been humming to myself all night! This definitely calls for a whole bunch of nanas, don't ya think?
