    Ok, I think the interview went well. The manager wants me to come in for what they call a "job preview" to work for a few hours and see if it's good for me and if I'm good for them. She mentioned enthusiasm and being fashionable (oy), and outgoing. I think I can do that, lol, and I don't have to just wear Lane Bryant clothes, I can wear what I view as fashionable. You can wear open toed shoes as long as you have a pedicure. Guess that won't be an option for me, lol. I don't do pedicures, and I normally just wear sandals. Looks like I'll be in the market for a comfy pair of shoes to work in.

    She's going to call me later in the weekend to set up a day and time for this coming week. I'm anxious and excited!

    Sounds promising to me Jenn!

    I worked at Strawbridges part time for years. Serving people face to face is a lot harder than over the phone where you can mute your phone or make faces! Just remember not to let nasty folks ruin your day, 'cause it's not worth it. I usually spent my entire paycheck on clothes. Employee discounts are hard to ignore! I thinl you'll be great!



    I've been Boooo'd!

    It sounds like you did just great! I don't think they would have asked you to come in for a "job preview" if they had decided right off the bat they didn't want you.

    Congratulations!

    Jenn, I hope you get the job! Sorry I didn't see this, it's the first time I've signed on since leaving work yesterday! We hope to see you, but if not, it's for a good cause!

    Ok, so nothing ever came of anything with this. I was kinda disappointed, but also realized that I am not a sales girl. I'm the type who would tell you "no, that's not really you, you should try something else, or you kknow what... Macy's is having some great sales right now! I was just there yesterday!" LOL... I'm honest, and don't beat around the bush, lol.

    I've applied for another cashier job at Wegman's and am waiting to hear back about that, but still not holding my breath. It's like if you have a degree and you have a full time job they wonder why you want the part time job or why you want to work there. It's frustrating. All I want is something that's a no brainer and I can earn extra money at so I can pay more bills (and buy more shoes!).
