Back to Creepy Old Fart
...to where I might be getting a real job offer!
And not just a flunkie job!
Turns out the store was looking for a FT Visual Merchandising Manager. They hired a very arty, young college graduate that evidently lasted one day. Turns out that it actually requires work! You actually have to move merchandise around! Horrors!
And I'm more of the type of person that works in the company. Comfortable with the base clients: older, affluent women with spending power of $50-70K a year.
On my way out today, I was asked if I could work FT next week. OK, fine, don't have a date or anything, and really could use some income.
They've had me working in quite a few departments this last week, starting with flunkie work then having me remerchandise an entire department. I asked the right questions, and found out that in most stores in the chain, there isn't too much deviation allowed from Corporate directives...but this store is an 'Orphan;' it was built two corporate permutations ago...and as a 'concept' store at that. So nothing is standard. The store associates are responsible for interpreting the general direction from Corporate and implementing what they can.
And they had me do that on Thursday and were thrilled with the results.
Later this afternoon found out I've been moved to the Visual Merchandising Department and my name is now third on the list.
Nothing solid yet but this sounds promising. But I was told that Vicki or Tammy or whomever wants to see me at 10:30 AM Monday. And I wouldn't have to push sell charge accounts.
