Muffinz0rz 03/13/18 8:40:13 PM #1:	^ So yeah that's basically the backstory. I eventually did send a follow-up on the 6th. He finally got back to me today, I have back-to-back half hour phone interviews set for tomorrow! I'm wondering where I should go. I've done phone interviews before but I'm not sure where to go, since this one is taking place in the middle of the day. I'm thinking of just sitting in my car for an hour, but I dunno. An hour is a long time, the longest one I had prior (to get this job) was like, 20 minutes. I thought about like Starbucks or something, but I dunno if I wanna be there like gabbing wildly in a public place, but I don't wanna be whisper-talking either, since I need to sound at least moderately professional. I thought about a park too, but it's still cold up here and it might be windy. I think my best bet is just to go back to my apartment and pray nobody notices I've been gone (which they shouldn't because they'll be busy playing foosball). The only concern there is, they're doing annual unit inspections this week between 9-2, so I just have to hope they've done mine already lmfao. Any other general phone interview tips? I'm struggling with questions to ask since I've worked at this place before, I know what it's all about. I can't really go with the whole "wow tell me about (company)'s story!" or whatever shit --- Not removing this until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros.

Good luck :) Mine was an hour ago. I got an in person interview scheduled ^^ Grats! Mine went alright. The first call with the hiring manager (marketing director) went pretty well, but when going for the close, she mentioned my lack of official management experience being a red flag, so I dunno. Second call was with a peer (if I get the job), that one was a lot better. I went for the close with her and she seemed to think I'd be a "very good" fit, but obviously she has less input than the hiring manager does. So we'll see. I was prepared for every question and think I answered everything well, but my problem is the fact that I've never had a job with "manager" in my name, even though I've acquired the appropriate skills (short of hiring and firing) through tenure at my jobs by training new people as they come on. --- Not removing this until Pat Benatar is in Super Smash Bros.
