Job Interview

On Tuesday, June 15, 2010, I was given the opportunity to interview for a job! A couple of weeks ago I applied to Life Way Christian Store at Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. Life Way Christian Store is a book store primarily. My friend Jason attends school there and also works at the book store. Anyways, they called me in for an interview and this is how it went.

Early that afternoon, I got dressed up in a collard shirt, navy blue pants, and dark dress shoes. Jason arrived at 2pm to take me to the interview. Before we left, my dad took our picture (See above photo). Jason and I arrived at the store at 2:30pm. We were greeted by Hope, an employee of Life Way.

We then went into the back office where we met Dane and Heather. Dane is the textbook manager and Heather is the retail manager. Dane invited us into his office where he asked me some questions about my work history and my hobbies. I told him that I used to work at a bookstore called Carmichael's. I also told him that I currently work at Dr. Herm's office, who is my dentist. We also talked about Second Strides, the horse farm that I volunteer with on Saturdays. We ended the interview with me telling him that I have many skills to offer Life Way Christian Store. I can organize books on the shelf, put out stock, and clean very well.

After the interview I met Michael and Casey, also employees of Life Way and toured the store. First, we went through textbook tunnel. This is where they store all of the textbooks needed for classes. Second, we toured the main store area. Finally, we ended the tour at the front desk. Dane walked us out and we said goodbye.

I felt really good about the interview. I was a little nervous, but the interview was short and the people were nice. Overall, I feel like the interview went really well. I look forward to receiving the call saying I have a job!
