Two nights ago, I noticed in the classifieds that local sex boutique was looking to hire (henceforth known has "The Store"). I decided, on a whim, to apply. I figured it would be handy to have a backup, and even if I do get a 'real job', it would be great to be able to supplement my job with something I like to do.
So, I walked into the store early this afternoon to hand in my resume. I talked with the woman who was there, said if I'd wait a few minutes, I could talk to the manager. What luck! So, I waited around, and talked to the woman. We made nice very quickly, and she told me all about the job. The manager got off the phone. She was probably in her late to early 30s. She looked semi professional, and for some reason, I got a strong vibe that she used to be an escort, but maybe I'm reading too many sex blogs.
Anyway, she read my resume, and her whole face just
lit up. The more she talked to me, the more excited she got. She then told me I was hands down the best they've seen, and they both thought I was great. I was like "uhm, duh. This is what I
do". Ha. She then said that she wanted to call the owner to see if he could meet me. I thought it would be a few days, but he came over in about 10 minutes. So, I got to chat more and more with them, and they both seemed quite nice.
So, he shows up. He was a middle eastern man, who... well, he was the type of guy that looks like he owns a sex store. He wasn't greasy or anything, but he was intimidating, and very to the point. We were all talking around the cash, when another 'applicant' came in. This applicant look like she just got off the bus from Crackton, and wanted to score. Considering her timing, she made me look
damn good. So, the guy pulled me aside, and asked me some more questions. He was absolutely astonished that I had a bachelor of arts ("You're an educated lady!"), and he called my resume "sophisticated". He also asked me my age. He said I 'looked young", which, okay, was a bit creepy, but I think he just wanted to make sure I wasn't 18 or something. He also said I had a 'smiley face', which I took as a compliment.
So, I gave them MW's cell phone number, just in case they wanted to reach me. They had already called to offer me the job at both my home number, and the cell by the time I met MW at Starbucks, which was about 20 minutes after I left the store. Woo. :)
What's even better is that I got another suprise interview at 11am, on top of the other interview at 9:30am. Hopefully, I can work it out so that no one minds me working at the other place, but we'll see, right? Anyway, thinks are looking good.
Oh, and by the way? My mom LOVES that I'm working at the store. Ha.
