simplyinpenguin  how was the interview at Jersey Mike's?

And if it didn't work out any others lined up?

You guys didn't catch her CEP or was it CFT? post about not coming back to ML?

apparently not

[simplyinpenguin]

I did not have an interview with Jersey Mike's as thought. I did drop off the application, but I don't think I'm going to hear from them.

I have 3 interviews lined up next week with various companies, so I'm feeling good about it.

The not coming back post was due to a lot of stress plus seeing my posts getting bounced from board to board. I don't want to be a laughing stock of proboards like blissanity.

Right now, I'm trying to deal with my student loan dilemma and trying not to let it get to me so I can be positive at my interviews.

When he called me on Monday, he wanted me to pick up an application and he told me that we'd have an interview on Tuesday. After not hearing from him in the morning, I marched my butt down there. He was there but all he told me was "drop off the application". I asked "well yesterday, you said that you wanted to interview me, so forgive me if I sound a little confused?" and he just said "yeah, just drop off the application". So I got that vibe that he changed his mind, so I just dropped it off and left.

I thought you spoke to him on the phone and he said to come right down (and 30min later you were still responding here).

Not to sound mean but what do you look like when you go to these places? If you were just picking up the application I can't imagine that he got to know you or your personality at all, so I'm just guessing they could be going off of appearance. Maybe try posting a picture of your interview/application obtaining attire? The ladies here are super helpful at that stuff.

Yes. I told him "oh, I'll print my resume and come right down!" and that's when he said "oh, well we can do the interview tomorrow". So I did go down there right away, but only to pick up my application (which was a 5 minute drive away). I dropped off my resume just in case, but he had left by the time I got down there.

I look professionally attired. Buttoned-down blouse, slacks, black dress shoes. I put my hair up in a semi-bun that looks professional plus light makeup. In fact, at my Geico interview, I was looking at their photo examples of their dress code and I was wearing the exact same outfit as one of the "yes" pictures, right down to the buttons on my shirt. I know I look professional. I went down to collect the application like I was going to an interview (in case he changed his mind) and I came back the next day to drop it off in similar attire. Everyone was asking me if I was coming home from work (which hurt a little each time). I know I'm professional in my attire.

simplyinpenguin, I have followed your posts, and I really just think you are having a looooooooog streak of really shitty things happening to you. I can't say I've been in your exact shoes, but I have been in similar situations. It sucks. I really do hope things start to look up for you soon. All I can say is, just keep checking craigslist, indeed.com, monster.com (though I think that's one of the sites that led you tl the scam job) snagajob.com, etc. Something's bound to turn up sometime. Good luck!
