Personal Experience: Hiring Line




400 people and I was number 317. Shoe Carnival is opening their first two stores in Puerto Rico. The stores are going to open in July meaning that they are hiring people, this week, and today was the first day of interviews. Since I don't have a job and my parents have been nagging me about it for some time now, I decided to go. BAD BAD IDEA. What the hell was I thinking?! When I arrived this morning to their location the line was a nightmare it almost surrounded the building, but what could I do? I had already arrived so I was going to do that line. I arrived at nine and it was four in the afternoon and I was still doing the line. It was the most horrible line I have ever had to wait in with the hot puertorican weather.  When I was close to the doors, my hair was a mess, I was sweaty, I had sand all over my body and I couldn't figure out where did it came from, my clothes where a mess and even my shoes, and I looked like a lobster.  The reason I say that I looked like a lobster it's because I don't tan I burn and when I burn I burn badly.   If anyone had taken my before and after picture they would look scare and maybe wondered what had happened to this girl. I had arrived to that interview clean; with my hair in place and clean clothes.  At the end of the day I looked worse than a kindergarten kid in his longest day.  I was definitely mortified I didn’t want the interviewer to see me like that, well he didn’t.  A representative came out and said they couldn’t interview more people since they had 70 people waiting inside the store.  So he told the rest of us to go home and come tomorrow, I thought you’re kidding me, right?! Right?!  He wasn’t so he called us by the list they had passed in the morning and gave us our numbers and in that order they are going to interview us tomorrow.  I’m number 65.  Since so many people came today they cancelled two of the days they were going to interview and gave the whole day of tomorrow to the people that couldn’t be interview today, meaning me and a bunch of other people.  This makes me exited since I’m going to be showing everyone my lobster look.  I’m sure it’s going to be all the rage.

PS. I was supposed to do the Summer Essentials video today but since I'm so tired of waiting all day under the beautiful sun  I'm going to try to do it tomorrow after I arrive from my interview.  I know that I was supposed to do this video last week but a lot of stuff have been happening lately.
