New Post! Good Day!

I have a tendency to focus on the negative... so I figure that since I had a good day today I would say so!

I have been sick for a while, and having new job anxiety, but today I felt much better and had a really good day at work. I exceeded my targets, and had some excellent feedback.

AND IT'S FRIDAY!

Had some dinner and popped on Seinfeld. I haven't seen it for a bit, so It's giving me a good laugh. G has gone to help his mother so I'm alone with the cat for a while. With some chocolate covered peanuts. BLISS.

It's times like this that I miss smoking. I always enjoyed a nice menthol cig. I don't regret quitting, it's for the best. But every so often I still get a bit of craving. About 3 years back I tried a sneaky cig (after I gave up) and hated it, so I know I wouldn't actually enjoy it. I just remember the good 'ole times, I reckon.

No plans for the weekend, probably pop into a store that seems to be having a sale. Otherwise stay home, cook rather than order, be well behaved basically. I'm thinking chicken breast stuffed with black pudding wrapped in streaky bacon.

So, I managed to find my old username. Very interesting, I have to say. Ashamed of the weird emo pics of myself, BUT fantastic to see some old friends.

Yeah, so how have you all been? It must have been over ten years.

I am no longer jail bait, and I am now more likely to use full sentences. Hurrah!

New Post! Worst interview ever!
October 26, 2011 @ 09:33:26 pm

So, today I had an interview at a Boots store. I was told to arrive at the store at 2pm. I arrived about 1:55 and had no idea where I was supposed to be going, so I asked one of the employees running around the shop floor. They said they knew who was supposed to be interviewing me, that they would go get them and I had to stay put. So there I am standing in the middle of Boots and I see no sign of the interviewer or the girl who went to get her. I waited and waited for 10 mins, until I eventually asked someone else. They said they would shout for her over the store tannoy, and I had to wait there. So they shout for this woman and I wait and wait for another 10 mins. Still no interviewer. Then another member of staff came up and said that the interviewer was in an important meeting and that she'd take me up to wait in the staff room. So there I am waiting in the staff room, staring at white walls while members of staff are awkwardly eating their lunch in silence around me. EVENTUALLY at 2:25pm the interviewer pops her head into the staff room and tells me she'll be with me in a few minutes. Another 5 minutes later she tells me to go and wait in her office. I wait another 5 minutes. She comes in and says "Right, Donna, you're here for the christmas temp, right?" Um. NO. I explain I'm not Donna and that it's for a managerial position. She looks puzzled, then says "OH RIGHT, so you are. Right, give me 5 minutes to read over your CV, since I read Donna's instead."
By this point I was a bit annoyed. Eventually she stops reading and explains that she'll be asking me some questions regarding my experience and then she'll take me on the shop floor to continue the interview.
She starts the questions, which consisted of her reading directly off a sheet of paper, while making no eye contact. I would answer her and she would just write everything I said, word for word, on the sheet of paper. And she would do that slow reading out loud that people do when they're copying things down. VERY ANNOYING!
5 minutes of questions that had nothing to do with a managerial job, they were all basic customer service questions, and still no eye contact.
After the questions which lasted about 5-10 minutes she says "Oh, actually you're not going on the shop floor today, that's another interview. Right that's you done. I'll take you back down."

GRRRRRR. I feel like it was totally unorganised, I have no idea how the interview even went because I got absolutely nothing off this woman. She never looked at me, she never even asked anything about me, or why I wanted the job. NOTHING aside from the usual "Why is it important to be polite to customers" rubbish!

Anyway, rant over. I just felt like an idiot, preparing all this research into the company, and sales techniques, and team management skills, to be confused with someone else, told the wrong interview, asked pointless questions about "why should you smile at customers?" that only lasted 10 minutes, when I had been waiting for well over 45 minutes! GRRRRRR
Why do I even bother?!?
