I had an interview for Ardene in the mall. It's a retail store. I actually love the store. It's one of those stores geared towards a younger crowd. They have inexpensive stuff, ranging from jewelry to shoes to clothing. It's mostly accessories, but they've been branching out to clothes as well in the last couple years. I have applied to so many jobs, and they are the first that have even offered me an interview. I can't even keep track of how many jobs I applied for.
The interview was great. The manager that interviewed me seemed really laid back. I was confident in the way I answered questions, and that combined with my open availability makes me a pretty good candidate. The mall is a 6 minute bus ride from our place, so I don't feel the need to have my care here. That means I don't have to worry about driving in the winter conditions, and a bus pass is much cheaper than insurance and gas. The more I heard about it, the better my feelings were about the job. It feels relaxed and fun, and having an insane discount doesn't hurt either! The only downside.. it's definitely not in my field of study, and it's not exactly a job you'd hope for straight out of university. There's a lot of positives to this job, but the biggest negative, is what other people will think. If I didn't feel as though I have to explain myself and defend my decisions to others, than I wouldn't hesitate with this job at all.
So the trend that is occurring here.. and in my other blogs.. and in the deepest darkest part of my brain... is the thoughts, feelings, and opinions of others. I guess I have a lot to work on within myself. So whatever decision I make, it's going to be what I want to do. I'm going to try not to worry about what anyone else thinks.. and that will get better with time. If I do get the job and start working at Ardene, it doesn't mean it's for the rest of my life. It's for here and now, and I'll figure the rest out later.
