Woot!! all my hard work might just be paying off.
Had an interview last week for a job at Starbucks Corporate. I didn't have a suit, so Aya and I
had to hit the mall and find something nice n' flashy. Ended up dropping $300 bucks to
look like a pimp. Oh well, as Alex would say, "sunk cost." The day I had my interview I had to work
from 4am-12:30pm. The interview was at 1pm... Thank god for Espresso.
The interview process was intense, but I felt confident. I sat down with two people in a secluded office for
1 hr and they asked me an endless stream of protocol /questions. I fed them what they wanted to hear and did my
best to look/ sound professional. Then after they were done, their bosses came in and interviewed me for
another hour. Turns out, their bosses were wayyyyyy more chill and laid back individuals than their underlings. It was nice because
I didn't have to act fake during the second interview segment. The head lady even commented on how professional
I looked in my suit.. (Yeah baby, money well spent).
Just yesterday I got a call from the head recruiter who informed me that I got the job! I have to stay at my current
store for the next 3 weeks to help cover, but I will be starting my new job on Feb. 21st. It is an entry level position,
and hopefully the sky is the limit. Its nice because it has a set schedule from 7:30am-4pm M-F. Oh yeah, it pays
better :p
I have an interview with Boeing this Friday for a Manufacturing Project Manger position (Not sure really what that means).
So we will see how that one goes. It is just reassuring that 6+ years spent in the trenches of Starbucks coffee hell are finally
paying off.
Until later..
