Yesterday was the first interview at a Sporting Goods place... Merely the fact that they were unaware (or just forgot) that there was an interview booked for 11 AM. Not the best of starts, in my opinion...
Starting at 8/hr, up tp 8.75-ish after 3 months. It's mine if I want it, I just have to call on Monday. But do I want it?
...
Today was the second interview, at a Grocery place. I was slightly early, and as I was filling out the application, the Owner asked "Do I have an interview now?" and the secretary type lady responded "Yes, I have him filling out an application form now." Hee.
So, I walked in, and... when I e-mailed off my resume, I thought I recognized the last name (not a tangent, I swear!) ... I recognized him instantly, though he took a few seconds to place me. Off to a good start, since I'm an awesome CSM (Customer Service Monkey). Quite possibly the longest interview I've ever had. Started at 11:30, and I was walking down the stairs from his office at 1:00...
We're looking at starting 9.25/hr, more hours than I currently get, wage increase in a month or a bit more, depending on how fast I pick things up. Benefits after 3 months (*DANCEYGLEE*) and up to 10/hr easily by the end of the year. If I pick up some other responsibilities, pay goes up accordingly (which is REALLY nice to hear).
Yeah, I don't think I'm going to take that other one... Even though it's something I know very well. I think I'd enjoy the challenge of learning how to deal with produce and stuff.
Oh, and before anybody asks, no, there's no staff discount. As a matter of fact, I think he's got the best loss prevention scheme ever. No staff purchasing whatsoever. That way, if a staff member is leaving with product, it's very clear that it was not paid for. We can certainly bring another person, shop, push the cart, etc, etc, but we can't go through the cash. It's incredibly simple, and not exactly inconvenient, considering there are grocery stores all over.
Potentially the Lincoln Fields location.
Whee not being broke-ass broke!
