After weeks of hard-core sending out resumes, and eagerly answering phone calls from unfamiliar phone numbers just to get a solicitor or non-employer, I finally got a phone call in response to my resume! Yes! People hardly ever respond to my inexperienced resume. It was a lady calling to see if I was still interested in a receptionist position, and the position is in a town only 15mins from where I live, so it's very convenient. She said that she will be calling me back in a few minutes to set up an interview time for tomorrow.
She also reminded me to wear "professional" clothing to the interview, and said that she's had countless girls walk into the interview, and even onto the job after being hired, wearing miniskirts and tank tops! ???!!!!! What kinda job applicant would have the nerve to do that?(apparently a bunch of girls who don't realize the definition of office professionalism!) I think that I already have a slight edge over some of the apparently not-as-professional applicants, because I ALWAYS wear a dark-colored blazer-and-pants suit to offices, even in 90 degree summer weather when I'm simply inquiring about job openings or dropping off a resume. So hopefully my professionalism and effort will pay off!I really hope I get the job, but I'm going to still be on the look-out in case any jobs more in line with my degree start calling, but at least I will have a stable employment in the mean time...wish me luck! :-D
