I'm going for a job interview. The last time I did was to Miracle Ear in Sears. I didn't get it. The job went to his son, who graduated college in, umm, ear stuff. Anyway, I forgot, the other last interview I had was for softlines manager at Sears. I got it but turned it down because I make more in BC, 30 hours, with less stress.
I am very nervous. Sears has provided me with great selling skills. Skills that I could use outside Sears. Any advice for the interview? Between you and me, I'M SKEERED. CS

It might be too late for me to put in my two cents worth and you may have already gone for your interview. I would research small business benefits, any way I could and understand the subject well enough to explain what I do know. I would dress professionally, whether or not it is a casual business setting. And like Mrs. DD. said, I would show them my personality. They'll be able to judge if you are the person they need. We had a part time gal out in fine jewelry. She looked great. And I had just met her as csm when she told me she was putting in her notice. Sharp as a tack this girl was. Pulled no punches. Not a people pleaser. She was direct and strong in voicing her objections to the way the store was being run (unlike me, who let the conversion run me over back and forth). So when I asked this direct, forward speaking girl what she was going to do for money, she said oh, she was only doing this part time for a little extra money and that her real job was as a CLOSER for timeshare condominiums. She proceeded then to tell me she loved that job and that she was very good at it. In fact, she gave me a timeshare pitch job right there, convinced as she was that everyone would love to have a timeshare. Very forceful girl. My encounter with her left me with the impression that if I had gone up against her at one of those come-take-a-look deals, that I would no doubt own a timeshare by now. If you are the personality they are looking for, they'll see it. |

Thanks for the nice posts. Never got a call back, but it helped me get off my duff and try something else. I won't be so nervous next time.
