This blog is about an interview at Bookmans which was as far as I know only located in Arizona but I am unsure.
Desperate for a job I started to look out of places I normally tried for. So I applied at this bookstore in Arizona. It was not just a bookstore (a used bookstore) but they had a café, and they sold some other kinds of things like records, cds, etc. It was almost like a used everything store. But I loved it. The smell of old books. It was a classic store I didn't really buy stuff in but loved for its looks alone. They had two in Arizona I applied for the one near us in Mesa. There was another one in Phoenix (if you want proof they exist visit: http://www.bookmans.com )
There are few interviews I can say went as well as this one. I really was tired but I was okay. The manager liked me so much the interview was more like a conversation and it went on for a long time. We talked of course about the job but he seemed to click with me. I was 100% positive I had nailed this one!
Of course I hadn't. It didn't lead me to a job it led me to nothing. I guess my being tired and A.D.D. had kicked in and ruined it again. Or the manager thought I was TOO much like him and he didn't want someone like that around. Either way I didn't get the job. If its more like a conversation then an interview heads up its probably not happening. Lesson I learned that day!
Since this was the first of many times I thought I had nailed the interview it really put me through the loop. I realized that I didn't know what a good interview was. Most I don't get but sometimes you really think you got it and I did and I didn't. I realized how wrong I was and how I might never know if I got the job anymore from this point on...
