Wow. the interview process was hardcore. It wasn't helped by the fact I didn't get enough sleep last night. I looked like a Gando with a Vegetas hair cut. Lucky, sister had a friend who work the celebs looks in the city and gave me the 5 star treatment. I now look human.
It's is summer over here, so I only change into a shirt and pants at the airport carpark so I wouldn't look like I walked out of a sauna. Blue shirt, gold tie, Bage pants, black shoes.
Arrive 30 minutes early, so they send us out to scope out their stores. 25 minutes later, in a training room with 10 other potential recuits. 2 people never turned up. They give up a run down of the company and what they are looking for. I feel like the guy from Crank. I am living only because of adrenalin.
We then start the first exercise. 3 questions. 1 What product would you be if you were a product and why. 2 How would you sell yourself. 3 What does customer service mean to you. I get an appulas for my presentation of my answers and hopefully started a new tradition of standing up to make a speech. the fact that people sit down to give some thing that is speech like was what suprised me.
Then group exercise. Got given a product and in seperate groups, analysise the product. We got chanel No 5. I think I came off too strong in my presentation as I over shadowed my team mates too much.
Then to the lions den. They start picking us off. Quickly and randomly dragged off to one of their stores and dumped us with a mear minute to look over the store. Boss man comes back in a customer. A New York 5 minuites later I nail him for 100 bucks. He tells I have nailed all the bases, but he said I could have twisted his arm a little. I replied, I rather not, but thanks.
One on One interview. A couple of free questions and then on to scripted questions. Worse question ever. What are your pay expectations.
Back to the sheep pen to fill out a folder full of paper work which includes a head check. i must have come off as a Shiczo or something. My answers were every where and general contradictionary. Some maths questions later, which for some reason the others needs calculators for...
Then we get told the big bomb shell. We will be short listed again for a second interview. The fight has only began.
Got paid for parking. Because I came in early I was 3 bucks short. In return I got a Redbull from a chcik with a stop sign outside the parking lot. By that time I had become asexual. Colapsed back at home.
Now I am thinking what the hell did I get myself into.
