Phone Interview

I’ve got a phone interview with Short’s Brewing for a Dough Intern position next week. 

I got a call from a Lansing, well I assume Lansing - 517, same as down here the area codes can drift outside a city by some distance sometimes, sort of like how some Georgetown, TX numbers are also 512 (Austin).

Anyway, the call came in at 7:30, which means they didn’t quite realize I am in Central Timezone. I called them back and we scheduled for next Tuesday @ 3pm (eastern).

I am sort of nervous, I have no idea what is going to happen. Maybe they just want to talk with a tech guy that is applying a dough position that doesn’t exist yet, in March - yet cannot start until June and who has no professional kitchen experience. 

Regardless, I am just glad to reach this stage.

Not a “no”

“.... However, we were interested in your cover letter that you sent to us, please visit our Careers page...”

So Short’s didn’t flat out tell me that no, but that response did feel a little Form Letter like.

The start of the email response was “Thank you for your interest in a dough position with Short's Brewing Company. Dough production in our kitchen is still a very new concept for us, so we're still working through what our needs are for this summer.”

Which is totally reasonable.

I still have hope that I might spending some time each week this summer making dough @ Short’s.

Also, I plan to work on doughnut recipes. (@nuutco I believe I can do a vegan doughnut, so I’ll keep that in mind)

Well I am going to fill out the online application @ Short’s while I wait for this SSL chat window to do something other than tell me “Thank You for your patience...”
