Starting a new job can be an intimidating experience. One of my most memorable new job experiences was when I was 16. I received a phone call regarding my recent application at a fast food joint at the local mall. To my surprise the manager asked if I would mind having my interview over phone. I was more than willing… I didn’t have a car, the mall was a 10-15 drive and I didn’t think I could get a neighbor to take me and my mom had a hectic work schedule.
I was extactic that he hired me over the phone! My first day on the job scared the jeepers out of me. I was walking into a situation that was completely foreign to me. At most other interviews I had been to I was given a short tour of the store. I took a deep breath, opened the back door and hoped for the best. The manager was in his offer and I was greeted with a huge smile and an relieved “Oh! I did good!” from him as he offered his hand for a hand shake. It was a job worth taking, because a month later the cute cook that had been teasing me for a month asked me out on a date. We’ve now been married for 25 years!
