I missed Work For This (10/14/04)

So I went on my first interview... and no, it wasn't the really perfect job I mentioned earlier. That one has been filled, but witch such an extremely high turn-around rate, I really haven't abandon all hope on it just yet...
No, this time I went in to interview with CSC Advertising. Nice place, friendly people. 3 Job openings. Sales.. more Sales and Administrative/Universal gal. (obviously not the technical term) I was given a choice on which I truly wanted to apply for..
Sales = 100% commission - with little to no training
Sales again = Management kind of position, they do fully train for. Oh and after about 16 weeks a guarantee activates so your at least going home with some kind of pay check every once in a while.
The Admisinstrative/Universal Gal'thingy = Basically a Receptionist/Secretary. Full Time, 9.50 and hour with (of course depending progress yadayadayada) raises every 2 months.. I think that's what she said - at least for a while. Very slight training, just to bring you up to speed. Your one of many a life lines for the company - that is if your good. (from the sounds of it at least) Over all if you get in, it's a pretty stable job.

So I go for choice number three.. oy, I so should have gone for choice number two. What was I thinking? I'm almost certain I blew it. Which sucks because I'm hating my current job a lil'more each day.
*SighS*
If I hear nothing by 6pm tonight, well then it's better luck next time. If I do hear something.. well that's when the real fun beings. Sink or Swim, right? If I manage this it will be a miracle. My nails were chipped - so much for the lovely paint job I laid over them. I had a really nice outfit laid out - Classic Black Skirt with White button down shirt - well pressed of course, the thin black jacket that ended right around knee length. With the Red hair and very carefully planed make-up - oh yes, the one thing I can do right... that is when I haven't misplaced a few key application tools.
And back on the subject of clothing, what I set aside was not going to work well, given the warmed weather coming up all of a sudden - most of you who live in Houston and wake up as early as I do, know that it was much cooler outside earlier today. So I had to change it quickly; ended up in a red sleevless turtle neck with subtle accent lines running vertically along the fabric. Suede pants, black of course and then basic maroon shoes - more of a wine color I would say my self. - not bad, but still *ACH* compared to what I had in mind.
Then there is my resume, on closer inspection had an awkward typo in the first line of my opening objective. Basically informing them I'm looking for a Working Problem Environment. Lovely. Not my typo, but I take full responsibility. Luckily - I think it wasn't brought up.. yet.
Oh an when they asked me on a scale of 1- 10 what my communication skill are like... my mind goes straight to the "But These Go All The Way to 11". So what do I say? About 5 maybe a 6.. I'm sure they improve more as I become more familiar to the job at hand.
Though I'm not sure if that even came across right. My main goal was to come across as very willing. Ready for something new and again very willing to take on anything to improve my skills in the work place.

Yeah... I know I blew it.

Oh and then I went the wrong way down the freeway and lost about 30 minutes on my drive back.

Well folks, the world waiting *shivers* just 2 more hours to go... *sighs*
