Wow. So much has happened in the last 2 hours. I went to drop off my application at this new clothing store by Target called CATO. The lady there asked me if I had time for an interview with her right then, and since I had nothing to do, I told her of course. The interview went really well and she told me the things she liked on my application.
After that, I went home and called my mom to tell her. She was happy. Then I got a phone call from Kim, the lady at CATO who interviewed me, telling me that she tried to call my previous employer, Vicki Taft, and ask her some questions about me. However, that didn’t go so well Kim told me and that in order to hire me, she has to ask my former boss some question about rating me, which she wasn’t able to do, so she advised me to call them and ask.
So I called Vicki and she told me that Kim is only allowed to answer yes or no questions about my working experience there, but that if she wanted her to answer other questions about me, Vicki would have to ask her for her boss’s permission. Vicki agreed to ask her boss and then I called Kim back to let her know. Kim sounded kind of disappointed, which made me feel disappointed, because now maybe I won’t get hired because of this incident.
I wrote an email to Vicki saying how much a appreciated her help and asked her to let me know as soon as possible. She said she still loved me lol.
But I can’t help feeling depressed now. Today was going so good and I thought that I might just get this job because how well it went and how Kim was already looking into my references.
But I guess I can’t give up hope. It’s funny how happy I can feel about something good that happened, and then the next minute all that happiness can be taken away by something bad that happened. It really is a roller coaster like people describe.
Please let Vicki get permission from her boos to talk to Kim so that maybe I can get this job! PLEASE!
