Not that I was actually hunting for a job... but I got the one I interviewed for today. I start on Monday- and sign the lease to my new house (yes, house... not apartment) tomorrow. A very productive day indeed.
I really don't understand the purpose of a verbal interview. Some people just suck at it because they are shy or too nervous to function. Other people are completely suave and manipulative and can get any job any time because of their mad interview skills. If I was to hire someone I would look over their resumes, call previous (or current) employers and then throw them directly into the job to make sure they know what the hell they are doing. Nathaniel just asked me general questions. Never even asked if I knew the procedure. After the interview he said I was hired because he thinks I am 'wonderful', then showed me around. BTW- it looked like every other funeral home I have ever seen.
But what the hell does 'wonderful' even mean? I know the dictionary definition (admirable, astonishing, marvelous...). My confusion come in to what is he referring to. My skills in talking my way into (and out of) anything I want? My resume? My outfit? The way I can control mass armies of destruction using mind control? (Okay, I can't really do this, but his long monologues were soporific so I was day dreaming.)
