American Eagle (or AE)

First of all. Due to the fact I cant wear most of the clothes at clothing stores either cause it wont fit me or I cant afford it. And I dont have the best fashion sense I usually dont apply to clothing store jobs. I have made the exception over the years even won a few interviews but so far the only clothing store jobs I have had were at KIDS clothing stores! Where they sale clothes but I cant wear them for real and it doesnt matter. American Eagle their main line of clothes goes for teens. I am sure adults can wear them but I think they pretty much aim for teens and people who are just above teens. Twice I have interviewed for AE. __________________________________________________________________________________ 1. I interviewed the first time for AE when I was in Arizona. It took place at Tempe mall Arizona Mills so its an outlet mall. That means they sale clothes that are cheaper or at least out of date from other stores. There are outlets all over the country this isnt the first I had ever been in (I live in TN for near 3 yrs and loved to go to Opry Mills also an outlet mall). The interview was okay actually. Except the girl who interviewed me hurt her foot that day and I had to reschedule. When I came in she was still injured and that was part of the interview was talking about her injury. First they had me fill out some paperwork on their computer. I was pretty sure this meant I would get the job. She didnt ask me about fashion or anything. But it was recked because I got a phone call and guess what LEFT MY PHONE ON RING! It has never happened before or after for me this is a big no no. So that happened I didnt answer I just hung it up it wasnt important. But I never got called back. The girl went off on medical leave cause of her foot she had hurt she was gone for weeks. The person who replaced her I talked to them but they had no idea who I was and when I didnt hear back I gave up. _______________________________________________________________________________ 2. My latest interview with AE was at our mall here in Carlsbad last month. You know its not going well when the interview last 5 minutes but that is what happened. I came in. One of her questions was where I got my fashion sense from I said magazines (not a total lie I do read fashion mags just dont follow fashion). She wanted to know a thing I do for fun and was excited about that I volunteer and sometimes do 5K races. I even told her about the hot chocolate run which she had a friend do. Well the interview was short and I was done. Told in 1 wk if I dont hear back I didnt get it. She liked me so I thought it went okay. A week later she didnt call me back. ________________________________________________________________________________ Will I ever give up with AE? Till they give me a reason why not to I guess I wont!
