A bit over a year later, May 3, 2012 to be exact. Was my second interview with Macy's.
Fortunately, I didn't have to fill out their questionnaire online, as they had saved the one I did last year.
The interview was a total success, I got there on time, I knew where to go.... and I didn't get the boring guy from the first interview.
I was nicely dressed, and I was prepared. I had a sheet of things to say, things that I could respond with.
(Retail jobs always have questions like "When was the last time you had to work with others, tell me about your experience" or "Why do you want to work here?" Stuff like that.)
I did excellent, I was prim, I was proper, I knew what to say and I was confident and smiling.
The previous day, my supervisor had told me something her professor told her class when she was in college many moons ago. The professor said that a key to being confident, was to wear your best underwear and think to the person you're being interviewed by. "I have my favorite pair of underwear on, and you have no clue." This is a strategy to help raise your confidence, because there is something they don't know... that you do. It definitely worked, and I've always made sure to wear my best underwear on interviews since then! XD
The lady that I was interviewed by liked me, and she actually told me she got the job. The only problem was, they didn't have any opened positions!
Although they didn't have positions available, I was happy that FINALLY someone wanted me. Failure after failure, I had finally succeeded.
Since this Macy's was in a mall, I went to the liberty of spending some of my Christmas money. I bought Patapon III, Medievil, Will & Grace season II, Sands of Destruction and Gate Keepers 21.
Lesson Learned: Even if they loved you and do want to hire you, does not mean they have any open positions.
