Had a gal call from a retail store asking to discuss my application. OK. I was expecting to set up a time for an interview, but whatever she wishes. First question was why I applied there. Heard from their employees who were in my store that they were hiring. She repeated what I said. Yes, I answered. Second question was where I saw myself in 2 or 3 years. I don't know about 2 or 3 years but I would like to be in movies or theater, but they are not steady paychecks so I would need a steady job also. (I know she was asking, How long will you stay) Third and fourth questions were my availability and what cosmetic lines I was familiar with. I am not brand loyal, I pick up make-up everywhere. When I get fatter paychecks I can afford name brand addiction. Then she went on the uniform of dress or skirt with pantyhose and no boots. OK. I'm sorry but isn't uniform usually mentioned after the job offer. Next she announced a manager will be contacting me in 7-9 days or will receive a letter from them. (Is she telling me I will get a rejection letter in the mail) Finally asked if I had questions. No.
What do you ask after the strangest phone interview I ever had next to the event planner who asked what I emailed him about and then told me he didn't need a make-up artist cause his actors do their own and then asked did I do other entertainment stuff he could market in his events. I hate it when an interveiwer doesn't ask a lot of questions, it makes me uneasy like they already decided not to hire me. Though my store didn't ask many questions and very eager to offer a job when I got to the interview. I was the one who brought up pay, parking, and uniform. Though I ran into the Fragrances/Cosmetic manager who interviewed me during a break and she even surprised and asked why I was put in Men's shoes. I told her I had the feeling it was because someone was quitting.
Well I got most of my xmas decore up. It usually takes 3 to 4 days to get everything up. Precious and Frodo meowed to outside but refused the harness so didn't go out. It was freezing anyway. Better go. Have to get up early.
