i have my first job interview in 6 hours and i can't sleep!

peabody · 12-05-2003, 04:48 AM

it's not fair!

Oh, it's at Panera in Evanston, IL.

Yippe.

See, I'm sticking around in Chicago forever now and never going home, so I gotta start paying my own way. Way for adulthood.

what do i say when they ask me "Why do you want to work for Panera?"

tootsie · 12-05-2003, 04:51 AM

panera, the food place?

god i love that restaurant.

id kill to have one within 5 hours of my home.

Ghetto_Squirrel · 12-05-2003, 04:51 AM

Have you figured out "Why should we hire you?" and/or "Why do you think you'd be good for this job?"

What about, "What do you hope to get out of this job?"

Thosse questions are easy. I can sell myself just fine.

But I want to work there because, uhm, they were hiring and pay decently and are in a great location. I don't think that's a good enough answer, though.

Ghetto_Squirrel · 12-05-2003, 04:55 AM

Just make up some "To further my sense of responsibility" shit.

mewl · 12-05-2003, 04:56 AM

just say that.. you don't have to answer all the questions with perfect answers or anything. as you said, sell yourself, and they'll buy it. now go to sleep!

peabody · 12-05-2003, 04:57 AM

i can't sleep! my roomy has people over playing video games and he won't leave. i asked him nicely and he was like, "we're being quiet, wtf?"

and they're really not.

and my RA is gone. and it's cold.

Ghetto_Squirrel · 12-05-2003, 04:58 AM

Say that the primary reason you're applying is because you've seen the required uniforms and they'd match your personal colOr pallette extraordinary well.

peabody · 12-05-2003, 04:58 AM

oh, and i slept for like 15 hours last night because i was gonna do an all nighter tonight and sleep all day tomorrow. stupid panera called me this evening asking me to come in tomorrow morning. blah. didn't plan on that.

peabody · 12-05-2003, 05:01 AM

I'm not going to have any money left if I drop a $30 tip at 9:30.

Congratulations, I hear the fast food industry is pretty hard to break into. At least you got your foot in the door.
