It's been two years in the making and today I had my 'Assistant Store Manager' interview with Starbucks. Needless to say, I passed. Which means in a week or two, I'll be the ASM for my very own store. Not only does this mean a lot in terms of my finances, but it means a lot in terms of the work I've put in with Starbucks. I've been with them (Starbucks) for two years now and this is a really interesting time to be promoted, what with the changing economy and all.
My store manager, Monica, called me tonight to give me the good news and I was a little surprised by what she said. It seems that I used the used the word crap multiple times during my interview (which surprises me because I can't think of WHEN I said that or WHY I would have said that... regardless of how nervous I was).
AND, it seems the interviewers (two District Managers) thought I came off as a bit cocky or over-confident... which is ALSO strange because I tend to give off the air of humility. But I can't help it if I believe I'm good at what I do... though Carey says I have a 'tone of voice' which often feels like cocky-ness. Interesting.
Well, I'd guess I'd better start thinking about what I want to spend that extra money on every month!!
