Yet again, not having a driver's license has stunted me...and my life.
You should know I am on the job hunt. Looking for a job to take up my time, give me some good experience, help me meet new people, and....of course, get me some extra cash. :D A new macbook pro is not cheap, my friends. :\ Anyways--ignore that tangent--so I had an interview yesterday (and today and tomorrow) for what I thought was a secretary position in the Theatre and Media Arts department on campus. Well, I get to the interview at 9:30am (today's interview was at 10am and tomorrow's interview is at 10:30am...what is this?) and the woman tells me that I'm actually going to be applying for a different position they are looking for because they think I am more qualified for this other position. It's a student assistant position and I'd be collecting videos for professors to use in the department, doing office work, and doing some graphic design. So, I interview and I think it goes well. I'm a little quirky and my weird personality shines through and the three ladies interviewing me laugh....a lot....at me or with me, I'm still not sure. At the end of the interview they tell me I will hear back from them on July 20. WAY too long of a time to hear back, but whatever, she's going out of town. I say bye and am out the door.
I go to devotional at 11am and during devotional I get a voicemail from the woman who is in charge of the position I interviewed for (not applied for) and she says I should call her back. When I get out of devotional I listen to the voicemail and call her.
She wants to offer me the position! We talk about the specifics and then she goes "Oh, and do you have a valid driver's license?" ...................... No. (in case you don't know, I never really learned how to drive in Texas and then I was going to up here and then take the test back in Texas because here you have to take the driver's ed course--$300--and I wasn't willing to do that) This results in me having to turn down the job and her apologizing for not telling me earlier. "I should have put that on the job description!" (but that would not have helped me because I didn't apply for this position in the first place...haha)
Then, I call my best friend and chat her up about the whole thing. How I had a job and didn't in, oh, about five minutes...... :[ Then the lady calls back and I switch lines. "Hi, it's me again. I was just wondering....would you consider getting a driver's license?" I explain to her the situation about driver's ed and she sounds disappointed. (me too, lady, me too) I told her how I plan to get it when I go back to Texas. "So, when do you think you'll be going back to Texas...???" (persistence, indeed) I tell her not any time soon and apologize yet again. "Well, we were just really impressed and thought you'd fit really well here, but you cannot take the job without a driver's license."
SAD DAY :[
WIsh me luck on the job hunt? And keep your eyes open, mmmmmmmkay?
