The interview (*dundundundramaticreverb~*)

Location: Multnomah County Library

Been away from home: four hours, roughly

Planning on going back: Whenever the hell I feel like it. We do have an answering machine after all.

Alright. So. Today was the big day. The interview. The big momma. The thing that would make or break me living in Beaverton permanately. Did I get it? Dunno yet. But...

Okay, rewind and backtrack. My present condition, and conciquential mood, actually does have something to do with said interview. I'm hot, sweaty, really overdressed for this type of weather, but damn it I feel good. Really good.

Now, back even further to last night.

I was freaking out. Severely. I honestly think I was composing myself rather well through the night for the knotts that were in my stomach and the rather violent butterflies that took away any appitite I had.

And, as per Casey's usual prediction..I got worked up over nothing. Well. Barely anything.

So I woke up at 8 this morning. ...yeah okay, 8:15 after hitting the snooze twice. <.<; Never said I was a morning person. Of course I didn't exactly sleep well, either. But that's okay, cause I made coffee the night before. Mmm...coffee...

Got my shower, got dressed, did my hair and makeup (which, as always was completely futile as I probably sweated most of it off by the time I got to Pioneer Square), packed my bag and went down to the transit center with a waterbottle of green tea. Got down to the Wilcox Building early, even after getting turned around several times because Portland is ohsolovely in the fact that they don't put thier downtown addresses in clear freaking view. Oi. -.-;

But. I found it. Got there early and waited for Josh. I felt like I was going to be sick with nervousness, but I kept thinking on what everyone has told me this week about staying confident and being myself. Josh comes in wearing, of all things, shorts and a teeshirt carrying about two bags, a huge framed picture, and a hammer. Not to mention he is SO a modern hippie. Sandals and long hair. Pulled back long hair, but that didn't make him any less of a hippie. Of course when the job is selling clean energy, I suppose that makes him an ideal canidate for it. Anywhozle.

He walks in, looks at me sitting on the couch and goes "Hi. What's your name?" "Jeni." "Jeni...*thinks for a minute* Waiting for some one?" "Yes. Josh." "Oh! That's me! *says this with a hint of recgonition.* Give me a few minutes and we'll get started. We can go down to the coffee shop and do the interview there."

So I'm totally relaxing now, grinning like an idiot when I realize that this guy is really cool and completely laid back. Sweet.

But, not only does he make us have the interview in a coffee shop, he buys me a mocha swirl, too! He was totally sweet to me and the whole interview was just us BSing really. I mean we talked about the job, but he wasn't all serious professional or anything.

He told me the basics (sales, mostly at events and in stores, carry your own display table and mostly an independent type job, which gathering for meetings and what not at the main office. 8.00 an hour with 4 dollars a sale. Part time, most is 25 hours, but shifts are short so I'd be working atleast 6 days a week.), and then showed me what we were selling and then had me attempt a little roleplay. I sounded like a total moron, but he says that's okay, it takes a while to get all the information down and also said that I did an awesome job for a first time.

Went back to the office, filled out an app and then he's gonna call me today or tomorrow to let me know if I can come in for training.

WEE! xD I felt so awesome leaving that place.

I hopped a bus to Burnside, went shopping at Freddy's with the last of what was in the checking account and got alot of sandwich stuff cause it was cheap, and then went back down town to the library (where I'm at now), updated my library card and hopped on the computers for a bit.

There's a building I want to check out that's a bit up from here, but after I go see that I'll probably head home 'cause I'm finally starting to get over that feeling from this morning enough to want to eat something.

Honestly, I think I nailed this job. It may be part time, but the rate is decent and if I really need to I can get another part timer some where else, like fast food or whatever.

Neeeee, I feel so awesome right now. x)

3:29 pm edit: Josh just called. A few people had to rescedual thier interviews, so I won't know anything until Monday. Dernit. c.c;
