Walking into Job 2 was like walking onto another planet. People use the casual dress code to be oh-so-stylish. The space is very open, definitely into aesthetics, and people were getting massages near the break area. It felt like one of those 'jobs you wish you had' from whatever HBO show is en vogue.
You bet your ass I was intimidated. The fact that most of the staff is thin, pretty, and could be on that HBO show didn't help. My version of cute rain boots would wind up being hunter camo since that's all that comes in my size. You have no idea how relieved I was to see someone over 40 and a couple of women who eat carbs.
One of the largely indistinguishable pretty girls actually said "Can you just repeat an outfit once?" To one of her friends.
One of the things that was emphasized was how I would have to be part time for a year before anything _could_ happen. They promoted so much from within there are no jobs left that need filling. They also can't promise they could do anything else with me once the year is over.
Some of the interview people said exactly what I've heard before: they worried I'd be bored. I also had to be honest about my concerns regarding money. I'm skeptical a 30 hour a week job would pay me enough to move forward with my life. If it was offered to me I’m not sure I’d take it. I’ve got another interview tomorrow so we’ll see what happens.
