Expect More, Pay Less.

ohmigawd!

I got the job at target! YAY! I've been looking for months- since October 4th so... about 9 months! (ever since I turned 16). It was real messed up how it went though so this is exactly what happened:

I got there about five minutes early (i wanted to be there about 10 minutes early but I was runnin a lil late). So I told the lady who looked official that I was ready to have my third interview. Her face immedeatly dropped and said that all the HR (head rescources) people LEFT FOR LUNCH and they'd be back in about an hour! What I did after that was walk around target moseying through the cosemtics and hair department until they figured out what they should do with me. My sister (who already works at target) talked to the lady and then they called the person who was supposed to be doing my interview.

About ten minutes later I was in some lady's office and she said 'This is your official job offer'. As much as I wanted to scream 'GIMMIE THE FRIGGIN JOB!', I said calmly 'Yes, I would like the job'. Now all I have to do is pass a drug test (that'll be easy) and they'll do a background check on me and I'll be the next target employee. yay!

after all of that my sister took me out to eat to at applebees!

Rambling about my second work out week.

I really like this new exercise. The first time I did this I did the exercise wrong but yesterday I did it right. This week consists of dancing and still doing the yoga. My legs are kind of sore from the exercises like I didn't stretch well enough afterwards.

One exercise I am doing is pulling my left knee to my chest, then my right, then landing in a squat position. I really like it because It kind of gives me a cardio and leg work out in one move. It doesn't say how long to do this exercise but then I learned that you're supposed to do it for the length of one song then switch exercises for the next song. That doesn't work for me b/c I'm not ready to push myself that much yet. So what I do instead is do the squat-move for one verse of the song then the chorus then I switch moves. I'll keep updating about how its going.
DISCLAIMER:
These moves are from seventeen magazine-August 2010.

anxious for Senegalese Twists

I am so anxious to get these twists in my hair! I'm probably going to get them next friday or so but i want them NOW for so many reasons. Mostly b/c I'm sick of my hair. I'm really tired of wrapping it every night and not getting into the pool b/c it's going to frizz. I've had kinky twists before and I liked those but senegalese (sin-uh-gleese) are smaller and longer from the pictures I've seen. I would get kinky twists but their so thick that I couldn't do anything with them but wear them down all the time. I couldn't put them in a pony tail or anything so they were boring. But these seem thinner. I haven't seen them in person but I like what i've seen on youtube and pictures on the internet. IDK what color I want. I know i don't want my regular color-maybe a light brown with a burgandy undertone? I'm not sure. Once I get these braids out, then I'm going to start the new hair routine I mentioned in my other blog. (epiphanymagaline.blogspot.com) But that won't be for a couple of months. :)

NOTE: neither of these pictures are of me.
They are random examples that
I found on the internet.

My terrible interview :'( And how you can find yourself a J-O-B

Soo.. my interview was HORRIBLE! I was so nervous and I didnt smile the whole time. I think I gave bad answers and I lied through the whole thing.
I THOUGHT the interview was going to be more like 'So what makes you qualified for this position?' or 'Why do you want to work at target?'
But they asked me questions more like 'When was the last time you saw that someone needed help and you helped them?' and 'Explain a time when you worked in a group and accomplished your goal'. What kind of questions are those? I mean I understand that they would help the interviewer know what kind of worker I am but those types of questions I can't study for.
Also, they didnt even ask the 'strenghts and weekness' question. That was a standard question for all interviews. I guess not.

And my sister said that there are three interviews and if you make it to the third one then you're hired. I didnt make it to the third interview BUT the lady who does the third interview wasn't there today and the girl who did my interview said 'You should be hearing from us soon'. So I don't know what that means. I've been on one other interview and the lady said that to me and I didn't get the job so I'm SUPER scared. I've been trying to get a job since I first turned 16- 9 months ago. And so far I haven't gotten one. :(

****************************

But I'll help you find a job and hopefully you'll get it:

-Check out SimplyHired.com, type in 'keywords' and your location.
good key words are:
'team member'
'cashier'
'server'
'waitress'
and things like that

-Go to CraigsList.com and look for jobs there.

-When you get an interview, go to their website to figure out what the company needs exactly for the position you're interviewing for.

I N T E R V I E W * A T * T A R G E T ! ! !

Two days ago i decided to do a braid out in my hair (check out my other blog to get the whole story). It was cute and I loved it.

THEENNNN! like an hour after I posted that blog I got a call from target saying that they want me to go to an interview today at 1:30 today. So as much as I loved my funky-curly braid out, I had to flat iron it to have a more 'professional look' and I'm worried that my hair won't get straight enough. :/
My sister already works at target and she told me there are three interviews. If I get to the third interview then I know I got the job.
I'll tell you how it goes when I get back from the interview.
PRAY FOR MEEE!!!
