Applied For A Job . . .

Gina Taylor · January 27, 2014, 05:00:36 PM

Last Friday {1-24-14} I stopped at a perfume store at our local shopping mall and I found this lovely fragrance. The sales clerk told me that she would sell it to me for $39.00, so I told her it's have to wait till I got my money. She told me no problem. I was back at the mall on Sunday and I saw a HELP WANTED sign in the window, so I went into inquire. She asked me if I was there to buy the perfume, and I told her that I was inquiring about the HELP WANTED sign. She told me to bring in a resume, and I told her that I'd see her tomorrow. So I went back and gave her my resume, and I mentioned in it that I'm a transsexual, but at least I think that she thought I was passable. I'll know in a few days if I've got a job or not.

Good luck, Gina.

That store will be lucky if you end up working there.

Good luck!

I've applied for a couple of jobs myself today.

Hey, if you get this job, then you can buy the perfume!

Best of luck! Also, if you don't hear back from them in a week max, give them a call or go there in person and ask them if they wished to meet with you for an interview.

I totally agree with this. If you don't hear from anybody soon, go back, and at the very least, it will show them that you are totally interested in the job. Hope u get it, good luck!

Exactly what I was thinking!

Or maybe I'll get a discount!

I hope that your job hunting turns out well.

I most definitely will!

My presentation has always been good, so if the owner asks the employee that I saw there what I was like, I'm sure she'll give him a good recommendation.

Wait no longer than Friday to call back. That way, when they start setting up interviews on monday, your name will stick out.

I hope you get it, and i hope it's something you enjoy. There's nothing as satisfying as doing a job you love.

After I was done here yesterday, I went over to the mall and I met the owner. I was in guy mode. While in the store another customer came in and the owner was out talking with someone. The lady asked me about some perfume and I told her that I didn't work there, but I tried to assist her as much as I could. Then when she needed some help, I went and got the owner, and he found a discontinued perfume that she had been looking for for 2 years. I then started to talk more in depth with the owner and he was impressed on how I kept the customer there until the sale was closed. When I told him that I had dropped off my resume he knew exactly which one it was. He told me that he doesn't usually hire 'guys' so I explained to him that I was a transsexual and he wanted me to come back.

Later that afternoon, I returned and he told me that I looked beautiful, and that he wanted me to come back next week so that we could set up something for a work schedule. So it looks like I got the job!
