Hired
I recently went to an open call interview, they called it a job fair, but it was only one company Family Dollar. Anyway I applied for the assistant manager position so they said I had to do a second interview with a different manager. No problem. Then a 3rd. Ok cool I say. Then a 4th. Now all these interviews are held in the back of this Family Dollar store one after the other btw. Then they said I had to interview with the DM. Now I’m a little shaken but still calm. Well he never showed up so the sent me for a drug test. The store manager where I applied called me a week later saying the dm would set an interview with me the following week. The interview was set for the following Friday at 9am and I was there 15 minutes early but he was 3.5 hours late. After the interview he said I should know something in a couple days. I’m confused at this point. I’m thinking they are just wasting my time. Today the DM called me to meet him at the same store which I did then we got in his care and drove about 15 minutes to another store that wasn’t open yet. He then looked at me and said this is yours if you accept. They hired me as the store manager not assistant with a very nice salary. I have no retail experience unless you count kfc from high school. I have a criminal record. I’m Black. And I didn’t even ask for this. This was just going to be a second job for me but now it looks like a replacement career.
