finally!
Two days ago as I drove towards the center in my job hunt, I thought vaguely to myself "I wonder if Cheesecake Factory is hiring". Tomorrow I go to give them 2 forms of ID and a voided check so that I can be put into their payroll system. Orientation is on Sunday.
...My head is spinning.
I wasn't expecting anything when I walked in on Tuesday which is the best part. At most I was expecting to get a form to fill out and bring back later. Instead I got a form, a pen and an invitation to sit at one of the high tables near the bar. When I returned that, I got a bubble-sheet and a 150 yes/no question packet for personality screening. It was a long 150 questions.. the bubbles were quite large and I had a stupid ball-point pen to try and fill them in. I turned that in thinking I was done. Instead I was asked to sit at the same table and wait for the manager for an interview. So by then I'm internally freaking out hardcore because this is totally not what I expected and god I hate interviews. It ended up being HARD! I was asked to retell a time when I made a mistake at work that no one noticed and what I had done. So I got to relive my painful "oops this is the wrong flu strain, there goes 20 mice and 2 months worth of planning". And they asked me what I would do if the phone was ringing, there was someone with a blinking pager to be seated and someone else was asking for the wait time. x_x;; I don't know things!! *dies* And THEN she said, oh we'll call you in the next 24 hours.
So I spent all of yesterday waiting for a phone call. And they set me up for ANOTHER interview today. Guh. So today I got all mentally prepared and the guy asked me like.. 2 questions. And then warned me about how crazy it gets in there (dinnertime there is a zoo...). And then offered me a position.
O_O;; Orientation is Sunday (at 8am *dies*) and then I get a schedule.
Waaah... so fast. x_x But YAY I AM EMPLOYED AGAIN. Finally something is going right....
