For literally a day. Driving down for a competition. Getting there early morning and driving back sometime at night. Whoopee! Possibly some time to see people = )

It’s been a long while. So today I had an interview with Sephora. I did pretty damn good and an hour after my interview I got a call back asking me to come in next week for the final interview with the store director. Anyway back to my interview. I went into the store and told a worker that I was there for an interview and she says, “Oh ok, just wait for a minute and we’ll gather you all when we’re ready.” And I’m thinking ‘you all’? UGH. Group interview. This could be a good or bad thing. First impression: once I saw the whole group (and there were 8 of us), I looked the best. And I’m not even trying to be cocky! I looked the part. I did my make-up right. My outfit was on point! I was looking at everyone else and most of them didn’t even look like there were going to an interview. They were dressed as if they were just strolling around in the mall. BUT I was still nervous. We walked to a conference room in the mall and followed a tip I read online, sit in front of the interviewers or in clear view of them. And I sat right in front of the two interviewers. As the questions came, I found out some of the other girls had more retail experience. That was the only part I was scared of but I answered the questions confidently and put a smile on my face. Some of the other girls weren’t confident enough even though they had experience. One girl talked way too much and made off topic comments. Actually, a lot of girls did that. They answered the question then tried to add something to show off. I answered the questions directly, honestly, and as best I could. I wasn’t there trying to waste their time. So out of the 8 of us, they were only looking for about 3. They said they would call  back to set up another interview with the store director. The interview was finished. I got up and said thank you and shook their hands. Then I walked to my car and called Russell! (That’s another story) But sometime during that interview I got the call back! Now to prepare for this next interview. I feel like I have a good chance. Or at least I’m hoping and praying that I do! Too bad I have to turn down the job offer at Children’s Place. Oh, life. Thank you God for taking me this far and I pray that I get the job.
