Here is a story about me applying for this job. (This perfect, perfect job.)
Last Monday:
Me: Hi, I'd like to apply for a job?
Owner of Awesome Clothing Store: Okay, here's an application.
Me: I brought a resume and cover letter...
OoACS: Okay, just fill out the application and staple all that together. No hurry, because I probably won't look at it for a couple of weeks.
Me: Okay, thanks!
Last Tuesday:
I e-mail my advisor and ask him to be a reference.
Last Thursday Night, After Business Hours
Advisor writes back, says of course!
Last Friday Afternoon:
I go in and drop off application, resume, and cover letter. Girl working there says that owner is gone and that she's doing interviews on Monday, but that my application will still definitely be considered. I leave town for the weekend.
This Monday:
Nothing happens.
Today:
I go in, wait 15 minutes to wait for owner to get there. Have a nice conversation with the woman working there about good places to take dogs for exercise. Owner arrives.
Employee: She's here about the job.
OoACS: Oh, I've already done interviews.
Me: O-kay... I turned in the application on Friday... [at this point I'm trying to figure out whether or not to say that she told me that it didn't have to be in for a while, decide not to because how good could an interview be that I wrestled my way into anyway?]
OoACS: Yeah, I did interviews yesterday. I'll keep all the applications on file in case I don't find someone.
Me: Alright. [I leave.]
GREAT. Fucking WONDERFUL.
