You're wearing the spiderman t-shirt with the superman blue bootie socks I'll bet.

Well, the interview went ok but all they want is a free lance, on commission sales guy to bring them in business. They don't keep a lot of people directly on staff. I was a bit disappointed, but the guy was pleasant to talk to and showed me around the place. I told him I would let him know if I was interested. But, peddling chemicals and only making about 10% commission on the sales isn't probably in the cards for me right now. I can do better than that.

So, time to get back at it. I've got some new places to apply to I have recently found and who knows what Kolene will say after they talk about my ideas next week. Somehow, I'm still pretty positive and feel ok. Plus, it was very good to get back talking business, have an interview, etc.

Oh - and it gave me a good idea for today's comic!

Sorry it didn't pan out. Would have been nice if they had mentioned that on the phone. I had one goofball who advertised positions for my field but it was nothing more then a seminar. In front of the others, I just told her off.

You'll find something. I'm sure of it. In the meantime, get to level 80 and send me a screenshot. I'm still playing - just vicariously through Reico. :D

Rico · April 17, 2009, 01:26:16 PM

Yeah, I'm getting some tricky phone calls and emails lately that all say, "Great Business Opportunities Await You!" Even a seminar isn't as bad as some of the scams people are trying to run on the unemployed right now. It's kind of sad.

I had a tiny feeling something was not quite right about this place since they never told me the actual position. Plus, the guy did try and pump me for some info about Kolene. Oh, well. Not a big deal. Nice day out and I put the top down on the way back home!

Sorry to hear that Rico, but there is something bigger and better out there for you!

Feathers · April 17, 2009, 01:38:19 PM

Sorry it wasn't all it might have been. Hopefully it will serve as good practice for the next interview that comes around. Always good to have a rehearsal.

Meds · April 17, 2009, 01:43:49 PM

Yeah its always good to have interview practice. Keep ya chin up mate.

Rico · April 17, 2009, 01:51:15 PM

Yep - a friend of mine likes to say things like if it's meant to happen, it will. Kind of a destiny thing. I'm starting to believe in that more every day.

Meds · April 17, 2009, 01:53:10 PM

Definatley. Gut instinct important as well.

billybob476 · April 17, 2009, 02:07:23 PM

They can't all be winners. At least it proves that there are positions out there!

Fit is important and getting it on the first callback would be a miracle.

Trekkygeek · April 17, 2009, 02:13:50 PM

Sorry it wasn't what you had hoped for mate, but at least you left them hanging for YOUR answer eh?
It's a pity these people don't give important details like "freelancing" before you have to waste your time. >:(

Rico · April 17, 2009, 02:17:48 PM

It's ok. I wasn't super shocked, actually. Since I got hardly any info before going in. And yeah, I told them I would follow up with them next week.
