I was contacted by a woman named Donna, which oddly enough... I have a friend with that name. I had actually thought that this Donna was my Donna; which made me hope that I would get hired definitely.
(Note: I actually have two friends named Donna, we all went to the same college.)
Let's call interview Donna, Donna 3. Because my two Donna's get to be Donna, but I don't want to pick favorites by calling one of them Donna one and Donna two. So to be fair, they both get to be Donna, and this Donna is Donna three because she is the third Donna I have met.
So, there's Donna, Donna and Donna 3. I hope you've got a handle of all of this. :P
So, I did research on the company. Which I named, so even you could look it up.
It was a book publishing company that mainly sells very intellectual and educational books for professors and college students.
I was actually really interested in the ones they had about human sexuality.
"Sexual Minority Research in the New Millennium"
Which is a whopping 166 USD. (Holy cow Charlie brown!). Which you can actually also buy off amazon.Last time I checked, it was more expensive on Amazon, but now it's less expensive.
So, when I got onto the interview with Donna 3... it was a very interesting place. It wasn't amazing, but it wasn't run down and it had a homey feel to it.
The interview with Donna 3 was very nice, I think I presented myself well and I answered the questions nicely. I was also lucky enough to get interrupted by one of the people that works there who had a problem for Donna 3, it was good cause the question she had just asked confused me and I wasn't sure what to say.. so it gave me time to think about what to say.
The interview went well, but it had me worrying about something. Donna 3 had mentioned that once you make up a schedule for when you come in, you can't change it. It was a part time job, so it was only about 5 hours a day, Monday-Friday.
For some reason that made me feel constricted, even though that's how most jobs/careers are.
Lesson Learned: Most jobs do not have flexible hours, sometimes it's good to ask.
