Better luck this time?
Oct. 14th, 2010 09:47 pmI have a little more confidence in my interview with Luce Research today. I waited longer than I thought I would because I forgot my appointment was at 1:30 instead of 1:00. I was actually called into the interviewer's office twice because there was another applicant named John, whose application was picked up first.
When I was called in the second time, I was asked a few of the basic questions most interviewers ask (describe your customer service experience, what can you bring to the company, etc.) I read a practice script and was told I did very well despite flubbing a couple of words. I'm supposed to return Tuesday afternoon for a training session. I hope this means I'll actually be hired. I will have to do some weekends. I may need to find a Saturday substitute for at least a few weeks, but the Sunday hours were listed as 12-8 PM, so I could do that.
The company has a casual dress code, which is good for me. I came to the interview in a suit, but most of the people there (employees and applicants) wore various forms of casual, including some in jeans and a T-shirt. A few of my casual shirts have small tears in them. I'm thinking of buying some Mighty Mend-It or a similar product to fix them.
Speaking of clothes, I need to put some new shirts and pants (both formal and casual) on my Christmas list this year. The crotch is starting to disintegrate in the lightweight blue pants I'm wearing at the moment.
