amezri | interview

Just got back from the job interview. I don't want to jinx it, but I think it went fairly well. The owner was impressed with my "professionalism" and how I had spent an extended amount of time at each place I've worked, showing that I can commit to a job and.. you know.. not get fired.

The people who worked there all seemed nice. There was an odd question, like "would you be okay being supervised by [black woman]" and I was all "eerm... yes..." in a "why not?" sort of tone. I'm wondering if they had people coming in and not liking that situation.. meh. Better for me.

Alyssa (owner) was impressed with my resume and all the graphic design stuff. She mentioned there would be opportunity to advance and they could eventually put my skills to use if I stuck around. Sweet. It seems like a really nice, casual working environment and I wouldn't mind spending 40 hours a week packing and shipping beads. Seems pretty brainless and simple to me.

Why this brainless task wins over the brainless B&N task: I'm mailing stuff out, not trying to cram books on to a shelf where these is no room.

The benefits seem okay. Heath insurance after 6 months, vacation time after 1 year. ::reads employee manual:: Dude.. you get paid for snow days! :D

Hopefully I'll get called back for a second interview. I dread the 40 hour work week, but I think I could deal if all I was doing was bagging beads and putting them in boxes :-P I'm good at boring organizational stuff like that. Also, I like mailing things. Yay.
