Trying to not do retail I tried a preschool...or two or three...

I love kids and so even though I never made it be a teacher I thought being someone who works at a Preschool would be fun. I have had a few times where I did interview for these.

Back when I lived in Orange County I tried a couple of these. The one I can remember was a church near by us. I remember I think they were like a different Christian beliefs then us. So that worried me. I was wondering if I had to go to church there if I got the job. But sadly although it was a good interview I didn't get the job.

On advice from my best friend I looked again while in AZ. This time it was in downtown Phoenix. It was the first time I had been to that area. I interviewed for a cool little preschool. I really loved the whole place. It would have been full time, working with kids. I thought the interview went really well. I first had to fill out an application (I think I sent a resume in through craigslist). And then I did the interview. I remember them liking me. And I also remember half the staff being sick from some of the kids being sick. I had a tour of all the rooms. It was just so neat. I thought for sure I would get it. Of course I didn't. I think they wanted someone with more experience because I was never called in. Oh well I tried.

Much like AZ here in CA they seem to want experience even in helpers for rooms. I think its sad since I love kids, and have done plenty of care for my sister and even in school they couldn't give me a shot. I am unsure if I will ever get to interview for a job. On occasion I do apply but still haven't gotten anyone to call me...

The other jewerly kind of store...ICING

Claire's has another store same company. I don't actually shop there, I don't think I have ever shopped there. While Claire's I have shopped at, a lot. I don't shop at Icing. It has mostly jewelry which I don't wear. Its all fancy. But I keep trying to get a job with them cause they are same company as Claire's? Unsure why I try

1. My first interview was with them in AZ. I remember it was in a mall in Mesa that we didn't go to too often but we went sometimes. The manger who wasn't super skinny was very stylish. I notice these things since I am not so skinny. She was nice and all that jazz. But I was unsure how the interview went and of course I didn't get it.

2. I had an interview last week with Icing again out here. It was at the mall in Escondido so about 35 min from our house. The manager was nice. The interview went alright. It wasn't for a sale associate but a key holder position. The thing is I learned stuff I didn't know if I could do. I didn't know if I could clean the store like they wanted, I didn't know if I could help dress up outfits, and the ear piercing thing always freaked me out. But the fact that Icing does MOSTLY babies as young as 6 months and young toddlers. I cant imagine trying to get someone like that to hold still. Either way I didn't get a second interview so I guess that wont work out. I think from now on I will stick to trying for Claire's only...

That's all from this company...I think!

You can't go back...Great American Cookie part 2

My first time interviewing for Great American Cookie which is the same company and the southern version of Mrs Fields. Was when I got my job with them. It was my first job in TN just weeks after we moved out there I got it. And it only last one week.

A few years later I am unsure when it was Spring I think probably 2009 or 2010 I went to the Great American Cookie at Cool Springs Galleria. I was hoping for a job with them and was desperate.

The lady at that location had no idea I had worked with the company before. I had only worked a week for them and I have never really told anyone I worked for them I didn't see the point. The way it ended wasn't my fault in the first place. And wasn't worth the reason I lost my job the *real* reason not the reason I was told.

So the lady at this location was really odd. She told me I couldn't go in the bathroom for long periods just to text. And I would be on camera at all times. She knew I wasn't a teenager and wanted someone who wouldn't act like the teens who work there.

I don't know why in the end I didn't get the job there. I didn't think it was me. But she was so odd its okay I am in some ways glad she never called me back...

Since its THAT time of year...Party City!

Last year before I started back up with LL for Brick or Treat I had an interview with Party City. It was ONLY for the month of October for Halloween. They are a big deal for costumes there and that was all it would be.

I have never interviewed before with the company. So this was an interesting thing all around. I thought the interview went well. I answered all their questions. They seem to like me.

But of course they didn't hire me. Guess it was for the best as LL took me back again shortly after that. I think I was interviewing for them possibly when I knew I would do BOT and was going to try to do both. But of course that didn't work out...

Debated about trying again this year but decided not to. There aren't that many Party Citys around here so the only one I could try again would be the same one. Oh well...
