Hey you ****
You just called me to say that your shop wants to thank me for my application & for coming over for an interview yesterday.
However, after some deliberation with other staff members, you've decided that you want someone with some experience in selling stuff to people.
You've assured me to keep my number in your cell and you'll contact me if something else comes up.
I have no doubt you will do this, seeing you've been so correct & professional with me over the last 3 weeks.
I handed you my curriculum in personal. I didn't hear from you for a week. I called you again. You told me you lost my curriculum. I emailed you my curriculum again. I didn't hear from you again for a week. I visited your shop again, asking you if you recieved my email. You said you did but that you hadn't had the time yet to look at it. I called you again on wednesday. You finally invited me for an interview on thursday.
In this interview I pointed out why I think I'm qualified enough to work in your store. For one, I probably have more experience in hiking & camping than the rest of your staff combined. I agree, I haven't worked in a store before, but I'm flexible, I could start today, I'm willing to work saturdays, sundays, holidays, I don't give a flying **** about the minimum wage you're offering, I just want to do work in something that interests me. I told you it's hard finding a job nowadays, especially if you have a degree in something nobody cares about, like me. Funny thing is, you have a degree in history, which is something even less people care about. So I thought you could relate. Towards the end of the interview things even got, oh my, friendly. I left your store feeling really good, feeling as if I finally landed a job, after months & months & months of being bounced off, with the ever re-occurring theme 'I'm sorry, but you don't have any experience'.
Let me ask you something, did you get a degree in selling hiking shoes? Did you went to the institute of backpackselling? I think not. Why not? Because SOMEONE GAVE YOU A ***DAMN CHANCE. When they hired you they weren't sure if you were up to it, but they probably decided that they'd evaluate you after a couple of weeks. And look at that, you made it store manager. Who would have thought that, you do have the capabilities to sell shoes & rucksacks to people, despite the fact that you studied history.
Imagine having to learn me how the shop works. This would take you a week, maybe even less. I'm not stupid. You would have to invest time in me for a week, after that I'd become a happy salesperson, selling overpriced crap to whomever would walk through your door.
I wonder, is it really the lack of experience that did me in? Or are you scared you'd have someone in your store who is as smart as you? Who is capable of saying what is on his mind?
I don't really care anymore, you can kiss my hairy, not so slim *** & go **** yourself.
And I wonder why this job opening had been on your website for 5 months.
