So I have spent the last month or two looking for jobs everyday for hours at end. I've have gotten a couple of interviews, but nothing has panned out. I guess I applied for a entry leveling marketing job. I don't remember doing it because I don't want that (thats just door to door sales). But I decided what the heck, I might as well go and see if i can do it. I get the first interview and get called back for a second one which is an all day thing. They said there would be a business lunch and than I would spend the day with one of their sales people.
Little did I know it was in Orem. So I got stuck driving down to Orem with 3 boys who all smoke and swear and are gross. Get there at around 11, which was after we stopped so the one guy could get cigarettes from his bother (and I dont think it was tobacco). So we get there, drop the other two guys off somewhere and me and this kid go out. Business to Business (which is better than door to door but not by much). No big deal. Getting turned down left and right. Being scared I was gonna die from this kid's driving. Just keeping my mouth shut and not saying a thing. One hour goes by, two hours.. three... four... Finally 3 o'clock rolls around and the other guys need to be picked up. So I thought yay we'd pick them up and I could go since it was supposed to be over by 5. (They told me 4:45 on the phone, the kid told me 5).
No such luck. They decided to go to ANOTHER place. While there he gets a call so we go to Pleasant Grove to help start a customer. That takes about 15 minutes. Than we head back and he totally just realized what time it was and that we didnt eat lunch. He said he rarely eats lunch because he doesn't like fast food. I said whatever, i'm not hungry because at this point I am beyond ready to just get home.
Than he realizes since we didn't have lunch that he needed to explain the business to me. While he is doing that, the other guy decides to go BACK OUT! So this explaining took 5 minutes (all while they are smoking and blowing it in my face). So for another 15 to 20 minutes we just wait. In the sun. He doesnt want to run his car because he is hoping he had enough gas to make it back(the car was beeping the whole time from low gas). So i'm sweating balls and by this point I had not had anything to drink in HOURS and hadn't had any food since 9 in the morning. (Thankfully I brought my water bottle with me but it only lasted and hour or two).
I'm fed up. We finally leave Orem at 4:30ish. Of course get stuck in some traffic and don't make it back to the office until 5:30 and than I have to go for the THIRD interview. I had to fill out the paper work stuff and it was so hard for me not to say how horrible they were. In Marketing it's not very female driven so I just didn't want to be the girl who couldn't handle it so I just said polite, but true things. I EVEN said how I don't think right now I'm cut out for the job, but in the future I might be.
They said they'd be making their decision tomorrow (today) and letting me know. So while Tina and Scott are signing the papers for their house I took the kids to the park (where Taylor hurt herself, of course). Than we went out to lunch and while waiting I got a phone call that I got the job. I was one of the lucky 4 people out of 150 that applied to get the job. I said no thank you, that I decided to take another job (which sadly isn't true haha). I thanked them blah blah blah. And than hung up.
I might be crazy, but I don't feel it's the time for me to drive to Orem/Provo EVERY DAY in hopes I make a big sale (you make 28% of the first sale, so if they only make a $45 sale thats not good for me). If i'm gonna drive that far i'm gonna get a job that I know at the end of the week will cover my bills.
I'm not surprised at the job, I'm surprised at the people in the job. That they are that open and cussing and smoking and talking about sex and everything. I can handle myself, but seriously. Sticking me in a car with three boys wasn't my idea of a fun/safe day at all.
