*sigh* Where to start? I got a call from Melvin and he told me that he gave my buisness card to HR at Macy's and to register online. After some stupidty on my part, I registered and got confirmation to have a group interview on Tuesday. I filled out their application, sent in my resume, and tried to figure out what to wear and if I should bring my portfolio. I decided on my shiny purple blouse, pinstrip blazer, and black pants and yes... I brought my portfolio (just in case). After spending fucking $7 for resume printing ( I swear I know how Kinko's works but what do I still fight their policy of a 24 hour turnaround time?) I hopped onto bart and went to Macy's. There were 11 females there waiting for mostly seasonal position. There was another girl around my age who knew exactly where she wanted to work that caught my eye as "competition". She wanted Impluse- Macy's highest end section of their department. Melvin mentioned me working there but I kept my answer vague to see my options. HR talked with us and then said that he would take us in 3 at a time to see which section of the department we would be working for. I (of course) went in with the other girl (who wanted Impluse). When we got to the room where HR was I waited for them to tell me to sit, she sat down without hesatation. She wanted first, whatever, I knew I'd get whatever position better than her . She stated again she wanted Impluse and HR quickly said that Impluse was not hiring, she had the choice of selling watches or sportswear. She choosed watches since she's not that altheltic. HR got her info and told her to go meet the head of that section. After she left, HR asked me to sit and I waitied for Q/A. He said hi turned around and in his hands was my business card (a lil bent and worn) with a smile on his face. I was shocked, that card looked like it's been around.... wow... having someone else hold it for viewing... it's different. My card stands out!!! wow!! pink... is awesome. 

So side note.... I also applied to be a bridal consultant (part time) and... that day (before interview) I got a call but I wasn't able to get it but I knew it was a call to tell me I would be a bridal consultant. So... WHAT DO I DO??? When I talked with HR they said that I need to have all 7 days open for Impluse to hire me.... but... bridal..... So he told me to take the call and call him back with my answer. Option 1: take the bridal position and work Fridays and Saturdays with a huge chance of being promoted to full time and a higher position (not sure how long that would take) OR Option 2: take the offer at Macy's, working full time at Impluse... After 30 minutes of freaking out (and calling mom and Dennis- thanks Dennis) I called the bridal place and declined (DECLINED!!!) their offer stating that I had a better offer. Called up HR and met with him again to get me ready for my interview with the manager of Impluse. Let's just say I could'a done better at the interview if I studied Impluse a bit better. Ivan, the manager asked me to meet with him the next day to talk with the BCBG specialist and see if he wants to hire me. I came back today only to be told that there was no Impluse specialist and he asked for my forgiveness for misinforming me but- he would still like me to work at Implluse as a regular sale associate until he can get that fixed. I said that's fine and am now waiting for his call on Monday  (or call him on Monday).
