Today I had a job interview! It was for an office assistant/receptionist position for Johnny's Fine Foods. The office is less than 8 miles from my house, just a few blocks from the Tacoma Dome and across the street from Freight House Square. Finding parking wasn't fun-had to circle the block 4 times before I found a spot. Went up some narrow stairs to a tiny office where I signed in and met the current receptionist. The lady that I had the interview scheduled with came out of a back office and she pulled up a chair next to the receptionist's desk and had me sit in another chair and they sort of interviewed me together. It's basic receptionist stuff, answering phones, screening calls, taking orders for spices and stuff over the phone and on the internet, ordering and maintaining the office supplies and a few other things. It's full time, 7am to 4pm with an hour for lunch. Benefits after 6 months. Casual, they were wearing jeans. Sounds pretty good so far then they tell me it only pays $8.55 an hour with no chance for a raise...gah!!
Here's hoping I hear back on some of the other jobs I applied for.
No wonder they're wearing jeans--That's all they could afford! ;-)
