Interview
Met with the Store Manager who reviewed my application and schedule of availability to work during holiday season starting busy Thanksgiving week and through Christmas. She indicated that if I was hired and did a good job, there was possibility of staying on to work after holiday season on as needed, part-time basis. Because I am willing to work weekends and nights, she was quite receptive to hiring me. She called me 2 days later and offered me the position.
