Oh My Word!

I have been slacking! I promised you all that I would let you know as soon as possible what happened with my phone interview! Well, I got sidetracked with the usual--gym, eating, sleep, texting, catching up on television shows via Hulu, which by the way, Bones was AMAZINGGG!!! Oh, and I was starting to pack, buying a membership to a tanning salon (gotta take advantage of the student price while I still can), and gym-ing it up...again. And again. I have two boxes packed, thanks to the bubble wrap provided by my sister-in-law, Kathy, and the boxes provided by Megan. Thanks girls!

Okay, now that I've built up the anticipation, the phone interview... I was kinda appalled scared of how nervous I'm sure I sounded, but it went well I think! I was told via email to phone the HR guy yesterday, so I did, but it went to voicemail. I left a message (obviously), and I was prepared when I was calling him. But when he called me back, I was a ball of nerves, to say the least! I stumbled over several answers, because let's be honest--phone interviews are hard! I'm a good in-person interviewer, but you can't judge reactions via phone conversation. However, that being said, I got asked to come in for an in-person interview Tuesday! Any advice on what to wear?? I don't have a suit, but if necessary, I may be able to purchase one, I suppose. I'm just unsure how formal the work environment is these days. I know that my friend that works there dresses just business casual. Hmm...

I'm excited/nervous/giddy/anxious! But it couldn't have come at a better time. I graduate in 2 days! and my parents and siblings are coming in town tomorrow. And of course I still have to be up by 6am and have my check-in with Pleasants at 10am. My mom and sis should be here by noon. I know this weekend is going to be hella-busy, so please excuse me if I'm not prompt with updates until Monday. So until then, have a good weekend. And of course good luck to Stacy who is competing tomorrow--you're going to be AMAZING girl! Have a blast!!

  1. Congrats!! A white or blue button down that doesn't show any cleavage with grey/black/brown slacks and heels is a perfect combo. Professional and no one can say anything bad about it :) You'll look clean and ready to take the job.

  3. Happy graduation! Hope everything went well, I'm sure it was exciting. I'll be a mess and I'm sure I'll cry =) GREAT job with the interview, the in person is just a way to phsyically show them what you're all about.

    Interview I'd say yea, suit if you have it, or nice skirt/dress and heels (weather is appropriate for that!)

  5. Thank you all for the kind words and thoughts! My mom and I went to Ann Taylor (since I get a discount there as well for working at Loft) after my graduation and she bought me a suit jacket and dress. I just need to get heels tomorrow! Pictures will definitely be posted ASAP!

    And thanks for all the suggestions and advice. YOU ALL ARE AMAZING!!
