I answered a Craig's list add for a customer service rep position for a company called North American Holdings, and they called me in for an interview. I looked it up. Wow, billion dollar company owned by Warren Buffett. I went in - the office was jammed with applicant's and the phone was ringing off the hook with yet more job seekers.
I met with Jessica who thought I would be perfect, put stars on my profile page, and said she would tell George all about me. On Thursday, I got a call to come in ASAP to interview with George. I raced through my closet and the shower, drove like the wind, and sat amongst another group of more interviewees for an hour. I asked how many they were hiring, and the young man at the reception desk, KC, said twelve or so.
My turn finally came, and I met George Taylor. He told me that the cleaning supply part of the company was just a proving ground, and that he could see taking someone like me into the Solar Panel division.
