I got a job by calling a company and saying that i was calling back to set up a time for my interview. When they said they couldnāt find my resume, in said thatās fine, Iāll bring an extra copy with me tomorrow in case you canāt find it. What time would you like me to come in, Iām free at 1pm? I was told the person didnāt work tomorrow and they didnāt know if the other HR person was open, I said thatās fine, Iāll call back after double check my schedule for next week.
The next day, I showed up at 1pm with resume in hand, told them I was there for my 1p appointment and of course was told that the person I talked to wasnāt there. So I just said thatās fine, I donāt mind if the other person in HR interviews me, and if they need, I can wait for a while. I donāt have any other interviews today.
So of course the other person shows up and says they didnāt have a note about an appointment and they canāt even find a copy of my resume and would I like to reschedule? I just handed them a copy of my resume and told them todayās fine, lead the way.
And they did. They read my resume as they walked back to the office to interview me, told me I looked a little overqualified, and said yes, but this is where I want to work. Ground floor on a company about to blow up? Hell yes.
So we got through the interview process and he said that they werenāt actually hiring until next week, but that I was in. So I handed him my id and social security card and said great, letās fill the paperwork out now, one thing less to worry about later. So he did. Once the papers were signed I pointed to the number of people in the tech support queue and offered to jump in even though I didnāt have any log in creds, and was told they do four hours of shadowing for anyone before they answer calls, so I offered to get that out of the way too, if of course it wasnāt a hassle to get me in the system.
He set me up to shadow a tech, and by the time I left I had four hours on the clock. The next day I literally showed up to work for 8 hours. For the first two weeks I didnāt have a schedule. It wasnāt until they hired the next batch of people they realized I was just coming and going as I pleased.
So, they gave me a schedule, and I showed up to work an hour early and stayed an hour late for a year and a half before they asked me to curb my overtime, and it was only because I had gotten so many raises that the accounting people realized that I was getting a LOT more money than other employees.
(To be fair, I had been promoted twice)
Anyhow, thatās the story of how I got hired at the best job I ever had. Maybe sometime Iāll tell the story of how I gave myself the third promotion.
