You know what the downside of job hunting is? I mean, the sending out of application part of job hunting.
It's that the best case scenario is that you get a job interview.
I hate job interviews. I don't much like talking about myself in the first place, let alone doing it while trying to impress the person sitting across from you.
So, I had mixed feelings as I listened to a voice mail on my cell phone after work on Wednesday. I've been on Jobs.Utah.Gov pretty regularly, and I found myself applying for a lot of bank teller jobs. It seemed like it would be something close enough to cashiering that I could get the hang of it easily enough, but different enough that I wouldn't get sick of it soon. And sure, I would still be dealing with the public, but at least it would be dealing with the public during regular business hours.
Anyways, I get a call back from the Wells Fargo on Gentile Street in Layton, by where Kings used to be (on a side note: How long has Kings been closed?). I call them back and set-up an interview, which went down today. I think it went alright, but I've thought that before, so we'll see. The woman who interviewed me, the manager for the tellers, was pretty nice. She said that they'd call people for a second interview soon...maybe starting tonight, but probably tomorrow.
So, yeah...I went through a job interview...and now the best case scenario is another job interview.
Meh, I guess it's what I have to go through if I want to get out of retail before the holidays start again.
I agree that job interviews are very painful, but I don't know very many people who have got a job without one. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteIf nothing good comes of this one, at least you can look at it as "practice" for the next one. Ha Ha
