You're Hired!

Yesterday I received a phone call from a Safeway HR Coordinator, asking me to call to schedule an interview if I'm still interested in getting a job at Safeway. As I received the voice mail after 5pm (which was after the hours she asked to call back between), I called her back the next morning, and scheduled an interview in the afternoon. I'm nervous, but tell myself that I will definitely get the job, and prepare to show great enthusiasm and dedication to working at Safeway. I would love to work at Safeway, but even if I didn't, I needed to get a job somewhere no matter what, or I would never be able to move on with my life. This job at Safeway was an absolute necessity!

Details regarding the interview:

* I dressed in slacks, a white shirt, tie, and dress coat.

* The interview consisted mostly of me answering questions about customer service and conflict resolution; I answered the questions with thorough and comprehensive but carefully-worded responses.

* The most important question they asked was "If your previous employers used three words to describe you, what would they be?"

My response: "dedicated, punctual, and a quick learner"

* To ensure I got the job, I emphasized my flexibility of hours, enthusiasm for working at Safeway, and how I would do anything to get the job, and to demonstrate that I deserved it.

* I listed my Job Corps work experience as a vocational internship.
