Job interviews galore

Well, "galore" might be an overstatement.

I had a job interview as a "server" for a richy rich golf club about an hour from where I live. I showed up late because I couldn't find the place, but I'm not so upset about that now.

I got this feeling about the place and I couldn't quite put my finger on it. I was telling my fiance that it was like a Hooters for rich people or like the place in the movie Dirty Dancing--where the poor young good looking people are hired to entertain the rich people.

And then I remembered I had seen some pictures another bio grad student had posted on Facebook & it dawned on me that maybe I had just interviewed for the same golf club where she worked. It turns out I had.

She said not to work there; that sexual harrassment runs rampant there and that it's one step down from being a stripper. Your hair & makeup has to be perfect and you have to wear ridiculous outfits on their "theme days". She also said that the salaried workers aren't treated well. Apparently people still like working there because the money is so good, but that can't be guaranteed for servers with the recession. My friend was saying she was expecting an $800 bonus in December and got $50.

Anyway, she might have been exaggerating a little bit, but I'm not sure I'm willing to find out. But part of me is like, how can I turn down a job when I don't have one and need one desperately?? Perhaps I shouldn't be thinking that far ahead...I'm not even sure I got it yet.

The silver lining: I have another job interview tomorrow for Holiday Inn Express. It's for a part-time *poo!* kitchen hostess or whatever it's called. I think it's the people that restock the breakfast buffet. You have to be there at 5:30am, but that'll be a piece of cake.
