Interview # 44: GPS can't fool me now!

This company was near the company I went on my 34th interview on. Which is funny because, on my 34th interview, I had to turn around 10 minutes out of my way, to go back 10 minutes and ended up being late.. if the GPS had been correct, I would have been early. So I realized I was getting near that area, and I said, you can't fool me twice! So I was able to enter the building of the place I went on an interview 3 years ago, and was able to turn around to this interview.. which in fact, the buildings were next to each other.

 I got to the building, and realized I went through the employee entrance, so I turned the corner to find a little waiting room. But no one was there! I rang the bell, and no one answered. So I spoke to the lady on the phone, and maybe 5 minutes later, the interviewer came. The interview went well, but it was short, she still covered all the basics. It was about 5-10 minutes. She told me how the company is, she asked about me. I said I went to school for Graphic Design, and decided it wasn't what I was looking for, so I got a temporary office job and then retail. (Which is not true, I still want a graphic design job, but I think I will have to put that on hold for now, since I don't have experience.) She then said, you want to get out of retail to get into an office position (She mentioned she had worked retail as well). I said yes, although I should have said private sector, since it's like a warehouse setting.

 She asked me how I get along with odd people (This isn't a typo, she said ODD not OLD. lmao), I told her I get along with everyone. She also said that everyone is like a family back there, I told her that it's always better when everyone forms a strong bond. She asked if I had questions for her, the third question I forgot and I told her that the question escaped me and I would think about it as I was talking. I had to hand her some papers that I was asked to fill out, and remembered it by then. (I was thinking to myself later, I ask these same questions every time, and I conveniently forget one of them EVERY TIME.)I asked her what it's like to work there, what's her favorite thing about the job, and then the one I forgot was.. who would I report to. But other than that, I think it went well. She said I'd know next week, I told her I would appreciate knowing either way. I think it went okay, except for me agreeing to wanting an office job, and forgetting what I was going to ask her. It was rather short, which concerns me.

 Lesson Learned: Never forget to get there early, you have no idea if the building is going to be trouble to get to. As well as the fact that some places have multiple companies, and could be a bit confusing to find the right company.
