Tuesday

I got in touch with the HR guy today and had a short conversation with him on the phone. While talking I quickly realized my interview/BS skills are a bit rusty as I found myself stammering and babbling a few times. He asked me a couple of basic questions to get me talking about my ideal position and former job duties. The questions that tripped me up were "why advertising?" and "what kinds of clients would you be interested in working with?" I should have been prepared for both of these questions, but wasn't. When he asked me about what kinds of clients I would be interested in I said something about retail clients, thinking of a popular shoe company they represent and mentioning that I used to work in retail, and got a lecture about how all of their clients are essentially retail and that a retail product is not just something you can buy in the store. He sounded almost annoyed (and arrogant) and I really didn't have a good feeling when I hung up the phone. Apparently my answers weren't too terrible because I'm supposed to email him to schedule an interview in Ft. Lauderdale. To be honest, I have reservations about the job and company and am hoping someone else will express interest soon. Never the less, I'm glad that I have the opportunity to interview somewhere and if they're willing to give me a chance when no one else will I'll be grateful.
