in retail, and with no experience, attitude is 100%. of course the fact that you are pretty will help. just keep flashing those smiles & the job is yours.

!@#$%! 11.21.2006 08:18 PM

crazy bitch? oh. then you might want to try modeling :p

but seriously, think how you like to be treated when you go shopping-- acknowledged, treated well, helped-- yes?

some how doesn't strike me like a job for you but money is money until you can find something you like more. and the experience is always good.

i didn't say stalk the fuckers. i said be helpful. you know, when you go to home depot in my town, the motherfuckers actually try to avoid you so they can stay on the phone. useless motherfuckers.

assholes with bad attitude can kiss my fucking ass-- i'll go spend my money elsewhere, but not before i stir up the shit a bit with loud protests.

ps- i have a story about a movie employee asshole who started bitching when i bought tickets for the late show. he is probably still afraid for his life. but i have to go, so maybe another time.

It looked really grey, especially around that big shopping centre. Long Beach has trees and grass every once in a while.

Any interview advice would be greatly appreciated because I'm the most bitter person in the world and without help I will destroy this 'employment opportunity'


Just dress nicely for your interview. Especially if the interviewer is female, looking as much like a nun as possible is always a plus. After you get the job, which you will, you can go back to dressing your normal way. I've been drinking tonight, so take this advice with a grain of salt. It also took me way too long to type all of that.

During my senior year of high school, I applied for many a job, but was turned down for all of them because I was planning on going to college (out of state). But for each interview, I did get some positive feedback, and it was in regard to how I dressed. Which was like a nun. So definitely work on getting your nun uniform together. But again, only if your employer is a female (and over the age of 30). It will work in your favor. I am trying to think of exceptions but I can't come up with any. Oh if the lady is a lesbian, then make sure the nun uniform is flannel or something, m'kay?

nice, how much they paying?

_slavo_ 11.22.2006 03:23 AM

You'll do fine Emmah, don't worry. Just prepare what you're gonna say about your motivation for the job, say something nice about the company and you're there.

king_buzzo 11.22.2006 03:27 AM

Over-simple as it sounds, this is a tremendous piece of advice. There's little point in pretending to be someone at the interview who you can't then continue to pretend to be for at least a month after you start the job.

I wouldn't necessarily agree with this. From my own experience I know that it's crucial to know what they're expecting from you and to fit into this role, although you're not exacltly all like that.

Hip Priest 11.22.2006 06:18 AM

Be natural. You might get the job by pretending to be otherwise - often it's easier, in fact - but ultimately you'll have to maintain the pretence, and you have to ask yourself if it's worth all the effort that that would entail. In the final analysis it's better to find a job working for people who want to employ you.

jon boy 11.22.2006 09:11 AM

good luck with it. if you want it i hope you get it.

Jico 11.22.2006 07:49 PM
