Life can be so random. I think we all know that, and it's true. I experienced this randomness first hand this last week.
I have been looking for jobs as either a massage therapist, or something clerical/customer service. I had become frustrated since most of the ads were either scams, or were very shady. I got to the point where I was applying at Glen Ivy, and Burke Williams to maybe get an MT job in Orange County, or Los Angeles.
I saw an ad on Craigslist for an MT with a chiropractic office that wanted someone with experience. I figured "what the hey" and applied.
That morning, I went out with my mom in law and her boss out to go shopping, and spend some quality time together. On the way to meet them, I get a phone call and email from this office to set up an interview.
I was hesitant about taking the interview, since I had been burned by others, and I was sure to be disappointed by this one, but something told me to try it. So, I did.
The interview was about 5 minutes, and thankfully my mom in law understood. When I got to the office, they were interviewing another MT, but you really couldnt tell, since she was in a t-shirt and jeans.
Rant ahead...
Seriously, you're going to an interview. I don't care what you're doing, unless it's for working at a denim facotry, you NEVER wear jeans to an interview!! Very unprofessional. I mean you can wear a t-shirt if it's clean, and some black pants, or kakhi's or something, but never jeans. For the record, I wore a blue t-shirt, black scrub pants and tennis shoes, ie the massage therapist's professional outfit.
Rant over....
I heard the tail end of their questioning, and it wasn't good.
So, after the first few questions, it seemed like they wanted to hire me, since have experience, availability, and a good attitude, and I looked professional. :) I just had to do a practical on Saturday.
Funny story about that too. I was scheduled at 9:45 for my pratical. I arrive at 9;30, ready to go when he tells me that the office should have called, and that he was booked, and couldn't do the practical after all, but I got the job!!!
So, I work with n2health, and also with the mobile company to do my outcall work. I also work for myself, and do my private clients. This better keep me busy, right?!
Still gym'n it too! I'll sleep when I'm dead!!
