I get woken up to a phone call, or really the voice on my phone reading out the phone number. I processed it was an Austin number really really quickly for someone who only just came into consciousness, and I gave myself a beat to convince myself that I was fully awake and then answered the phone. I was expecting the female voice of the secretary but instead was greeted by a male. Instead of calling me in for an interview with him the guy just wanted to do a little phone interview.
I don't know if he could tell I just woke up or if he was just being the normal amount of courteous when he asked if it was a good time or if he should just call back later. I knew I would be an anxious mess if I didn't just do it then and there so I did and it was fine and he must have liked me because he said he would proceed with the next step and let the recruiter know to contact me. Which she did as I was relaxing into the baseball game.
She let me know I needed to submit five references on this online database. Two needed to be managers and the others could just be co-workers. They would be emailed a short survey about my work ethic and such and the answers would be compiled in an anonymous fashion into one lump form of data. Commence me scrambling to figure out who I can use. I didn't want to use managers from this store in case they answer less than favorably about my conduct because I don't trust them to differentiate actions out of boredom from actual bad work. I tried to contact old managers and have thus far been unsuccessful in getting a hold of them. The baseball game was not very enjoyable, even before we started losing. I am all perma-anxious now because of this. I just want the job, come on!
