I'm so special.
I had a really nice interview at Nike this a.m. I probably didn't get the job because I don't have the specific skills they were looking for but they seemed to like me and will keep me in mind for future positions. Do you think that was just a line? They seemed to sincere.
On the instructions for the interview it said that a guest pass would be reserved for me at the Employee Nike Store. I assumed this meant I needed a pass for the Nike campus. So I get there at 7:30 a.m. (my interview was at 9 a.m.) and the store is closed and doesn't open until 10 a.m. I just stood there trying to figure out how I had misinterpreted my instructions when a lovely woman came around the corner to ask if I needed help. I showed her my email and she laughed and explained to me that the guest pass was just a present from Nike for coming in to interview. She said I must be very special (yeah, special as in not very bright) and she told me what a great place Nike was to work and that she had come to Nike from 17 years at Nordstroms and that after the interview I should come back to the store and she'd show me around.
After the interview I headed back to the employee store but got lost and barely found downtown. I am SOOOOO special.
