Yes, it's possible - retrenched again! My week has been consumed with meaningless job interviews with recruitment consultants who all have the same opinion of me... "I'll be bored in 3 weeks if they place in any of the positions they have available at the moment" I think they should let me decided. Well, I more than likely would be bored -I've been there done that so to speak.
WORE: Black Donna Karen pencil skirt, Black Ralph Lauren 3/4 sleeve basic top under a STUNNING Carla Zampatti beige jacket, my favorite highest of high heels I purchased in Dubai and Gio Franco Ferre black bag.
The much anticipated interview for commercial real estate, a position that actually sounded interesting on paper - the principle was wearing a white suit with an orange shirt with a string of ostensibly fake pearls. I couldn't work for someone with such a drastic fashion faux pas! Besides the fact it sounded like she wanted an accountant more than an agent. I felt like yelling "read my CV!"
I went over the big bad bridge to my next interview. The guy was nice enough, the board room was dressed with "inspirational pictures" (I HATE that shite) I emerged 2 hours later thinking I have it in the bag! 20K less than what I was previously earning, but wait, its with a great commission structure, with my knowledge they will be throwing money at me (yea, I know what I'm doing).
WORE: Black David Lawrence knee length skirt, Black light knit from Max Mara, Barbara Bui 4" high heels and Gio Franco Ferre black bag.
The next week I go back to meet the team. I walk in 5 women, 1 man (I've never worked with women before in my life) They are all in pastels/florals sporting the traditional "North Shore attire" I walk in wearing black courture - I knew I wouldn't fit in as soon as I saw the collars turned up. A review of some questions: "When you cook, do you follow a recipe or make it up as you go along?" My response "I've never followed a recipe before in my life"" Why do you ask?" She couldn't answer me... Oops. Question of note no. 2 "What is the difference between your like business personality and like your personal ahh, personal like personality?" I furrowed my brow - structure your sentence you IDIOT! She also did that little I want to be so cute tongue poke out at the end of her sentence thing *shudder* I said "It's the same" I don't think she liked that. I didn't get the job. Apparently the guy was wrapped with me, but the girls didn't think I would fit in - No shit!
