Cross your fingers for me tomorrow at 3pm! If you're a praying person, please send a prayer my way that I'll get the job. Thanks! I'll let you know how it goes tomorrow...

Second Interview, Baby!
I interviewed today to be a waitress at a local restaurant. I tried sooooooo hard to make a good impression. I'm typically not outgoing, am very quiet, and have a really monotone voice, so I pepped it up BIG TIME. I smiled every other sentence, sat up really straight (I'm a horrible slouch), I engaged in conversation, I made my voice animated - the works! I pulled out all the stops. And guess what? It worked! Hold your horses, I don't have the job yet, but I have a second interview tomorrow at 3pm. Apparently, it's policy that new applicants interview with all three managers - yikes. So I'm going to have to go through this process again at least two more times. Don't get me wrong, I'm so glad I have a second interview, but it's friggin' hard work to transform myself into an animated, social, interesting person. Instead of me trying to be fake to get the job, I like to think of it more as "putting my best self forward." And right now, I'd do just about anything to get a job.

Yes, I'd also like to refer to it as "putting your best self forward." I do the same thing all the time!! Us quieter, not-so-peppy-by-nature people, just have to learn this artform and use it well. Good luck!
