maderrI would have to say that's the least painful interview I've ever endured. There's something to be said, I suppose, for the whole small town thing. I would prefer to get a job wholly on my own merit, but I'm not going to be bitter. It's actually kinda funny how the whole thing happened:
I saw the job on the newspaper's website yesterday morning, and basically thought "I could do that," so I put my resume and letter in the mail. Done.
My mom tells me about the job later, and I inform her I'd already handled it. Well, she goes on to inform me that her boss at her old job owned the office (It's an eyecare place, btw) and that she'd have a friend of her's (Kathy, for whom we babysit) call in the morning and tell this Dr. (Pistano? She's romanian) that I was really interested.
Okay, Kathy says "sure!" and calls about two minutes after hanging up with my mom (this is Friday morning, mind you). About thirty minutes later the office calls my mom, says they'd love to interview me. So they chat, hang up (b/c I'm still asleep, this is all first thing in the morning). Call back about two and say "well, we were only interviewing two people today, but we'd love to see you, so can you come at five?"
Naturally, I can come. And the interview was more like a chat-I felt we should've been sipping tea or something.
This is probably only amusing to me, but come on. I've been trying for weeks to get a job, sending out resumes, blah blah blah and the first real break I get comes along simply b/c my mom used to work for this woman, not because I'd actually be very well suited for the job.
It's just funny.
