Keep Calm and Carry On!





"I am  doing a group interview on the eleventh of October  at Central Mall  in front of Chick-fla  at 12:00 and would like to invite for the interview process. I look forward to Meeting you.Please contact me by phone if you can not make it."


Friend,

I dressed to impress, I sprayed my perfume, I checked my teeth, my resume was printed.. I was ready. "This is not a repeat of Eden Bubble Tea... This is not a repeat of Eden Bubble Tea..." was repeating in my head like a broken record as I sat down waiting for my third interview. I glance around.. 5 minutes early... I'm good! I begin to scan the tables. No one remotely close to the lady I was waiting for. I grab a chair in the middle of the small cluster of tables and sit up straight.( I read somewhere that if you look determined and sure of yourself that you will get the job instead of going for the kind and caring approach. ) A man sits down beside me at the other table and a lady at the other. I smile at the lady and she looks at me then at her sandwich. I walk over to her and ask if she is the lady I was waiting for. She laughs, and says no. I sit back down, notice that the Price is Right is on in the restaurant across the way. I watch a full show (seriously, how is that show popular?!) while continually looking around (the man is smiling back at me now- awkward! I wanted to tell him that I wasn't looking at him but it was hard not to because he was smiling at me) and realize... I've been stood up. I, Summer Sawatsky, have been STOOD UP. I giggled to myself, you really do have to laugh at these situations, what else can you do?   I gathered my things, and as I was leaving the mall I saw a big "NOW HIRING" sign that was outside what one would consider an "old lady store". The lady working there looked surprised that I  asked for an application. :) Haha!  When God closes the door, jump out the window right? ;) So, the real question is- does this count as my third interview if I wasn't interviewed? ;) 
Your hippie friend,
Summer
