Job Interview

October 15, 2014 06:00AM
So I had a job interview today for a sales position at one of my favorite DIY retailors. The manager is asking me the standard questions, and he thinks he stumps me by asking how I would handle a customer who looked confused. I went into auto-piolet and used a MS scenario about engaging the customer, discussing likes/dislikes, figuring out the project, and then upselling the customer and offering deals and discounts and encouraging the customer to sign up for the store credit card.

The manager looked at me and said, "HOW DO YOU KNOW ALL THIS?"

"...uuuhhhh.....I have the store card?"

LOL (I thought you guys would get a kick out of this.)

I hope I do! I have been trying to work for them for over a year, and their stupid computerized system finally interviewed me (so odd having a computer give a phone interview), then finally I got a real interview. Anyway, I won't find out until next week, maybe...if I get a call back. If I am hired, then I guess I can't MS for them anymore. LOL

Very funny. Hope you get the job too, although you will not be able to shop them and YOU will now be shopped! I bet if you are shopped you will be be able to spot the shopper a lot better than the "normals" out there.
