interview

i am back from my interview...it went very well. it wasn't really for a job per se...it was with a recruiter, but it still went very well...

earlier this week i applied for a position that was listed on one of the job finder sites, of course as with all the job finder sites, this position was actually listed through a recruitment company, not with the actual company that is hiring. so i figured what the heck, what do i have to lose, normally i never would have applied for a job though one of these agencies, but at this point, i don't really care.

the recruiter guy called me back the very next day, wanting to meet with me, that day was today. so i packed up my pretty clothes, put them in the back of my car (i couldn't risk dressing up at the office and calling attention to myself!), and got my nerves all ready for the interview. i had to change in the Olive Garden parking lot in the back of my car...which was tricky, but i have a hidden talent of changing in public. (that is for another story!) i went into the restaurant and waited...

the recruiter showed up right on time, looking much younger than i would have expected. he was so nice that all of my nervousness went right away. we talked about my experience, about what kind of job i was looking for, about school and about my reasons for leaving my current position. i was honest and explained to him exactly why i wanted to leave my current position...which led us to another more exciting conversation -- pay! of course you all know how last week i found out that the interns made more than me...now i didn't go that far and tell him that, it is way to embarrassing...but i did tell him exactly how much i made, and he laughed. then he proceeded to tell me that i make about 20,000 dollar LESS, yes i said LESS than what the market currently pays for my experience...huh? i didn't really know what to say...but i was shocked. obviously i knew i was under paid, but i didn't realize by how much!! he told me that more than likely he would be able to find me a position that would almost pay me double what i make now!

holy shit, did he actually say double?!! double! i would be able to pay all my bills and have money left over, i wouldn't have to worry about moving money into my checking account from my pitiful, slowly dwindling savings account. grande would be able to stay at home and eat bon-bons all day (after he finds out what they are!), i would be able to buy all the makeup i want from sephora!! okay yeah that is really why i want to make more money, but isn't that every girls dream...endless days of shopping at sephora...i dream of stila lip glaze in every color...pop eye beauty cakes in all the shades of green (to go with my eyes!)...maybe i would even splurge and buy the rice dream line from fresh (it is so expensive, but smells so good!)...

right, so every please keep your fingers crossed for the recruiter to find me a new job that pays me what i am actually worth...really sephora needs me...it gets lonely with out me...and i haven't had the extra money to visit properly in the past few weeks!! and we can't forget about grande's dream of sitting at home eating bon-bons all day...and if anyone knows what exactly bon-bons are, please let us know...we have no idea! :-)
