Anywho, I got there promptly at 3:15pm, once again sporting false eyelashes/overdone eyeshadow/cleavage. The girl at the front recognizes me right away (it's the same girl who helped me when I applied last week). She's super sweet once again and leads me to a table at the back of the restaurant...why the table all the way at the back? I do not know. After waiting for about 10 minutes, the other manager, Chris comes out and greets me...he's this very tan fellow with a heavy Australian accent. We spoke for about half an hour, about my interest in Hooters, my qualifications (bubbly personality, good looks, positive attitude, ability to flirt...no joke). Of course I say I have all of those and go on to explain how I've used each of these qualities in the past...this is the first time I've ever had to discuss my looks or flirtatiousness at a job interview. Or anywhere, really. We also talked about school and future career goals, which was a little more normal for a job interview. So as our chat is winding down, Chris congratulates me...yes, he offers me the job on the spot! Money, here I come! Oh yeah...neon short and cleavage-exposing uniforms, here I come! Sexual innuendoes by way of drunken men, here I come! I said I was on an emotional rollercoaster, right? Can you see why? Job/money=good; uniforms/sexual comments/the stereotypes that come along with being a Hooters girl=not so much. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm excited on a lot of levels...yes, because of the money but also because...well...I'll admit it...it actually does seem like a pretty fun job and like a lot of other women, I do like showing off what I've got (up to a certain degree, of course). But I also am a little nervous about it. Although I shouldn't care, and I usually don't, I am a little concerned about what people will say and how I will be treated by customers. I guess I'll find out soon enough. For now, say hello to the newest Hooters girl! Oh yeah...I have orientation on Tuesday at 2pm.
PS...the boy/friend is can't wait to see me in the uniform lol
