So I've only been working 20 hours or less a week lately, and I feel like a piece of shit.
The reason I haven't found another job yet, is because I was expecting a promotion at Steve Madden. It was supposed to be "asap," but the DM took a month and a half longer than expected to fly into town for the interviews (me and another girl).
I was confident that I had the position because all my managers had great things to say about me, the scottsdale store manager did, i have manager experience, and employers are always looking to promote from within. Also, I feel like I do fantastic in interviews. Besides maybe being a little bit jittery, which is kind of my style anyways, I give great answers and great examples. Plus, working in retail is the easiest kind of job there is. Honestly. Never had a job easier than retail.
So he came into town, didn't interview me, just asked me a few (three) questions casually while he was working on things in the store. I felt like I gave good answers to casual simple questions; I just didn't go all out because I thought I was actually getting a real interview.
As far as his other interview went, he made the girl wait for an hour and a half, said he didn't even want to waste his time, and only talked to her for a minute.
But no one has heard anything back from him and I'm pissed.
And I'm going to be even more pissed if I don't get this job, because you only have to be a moron who is friendly and pretty to be working in retail, and I am much more than that. You should see some of these people I've worked with over the past few years; it's ridiculous.
I'm so tired of this.
Anybody have any good suggestions on where to apply for a job?
