Second Interview

Post Reply New Topic

So I got a call from an upscale bed and breakfast and had an interview today. Another candidate and I are both going at the same time tomorrow and the owner will see how we do. This is a good opportunity and I hope I don't screw it up.

What would you be doing there?

And...excellent luck on the interview!

Thanks

Cleaning rooms between check out and in.

Not bad. As long as you don't have to wear one of those hats!

Like this?

LOL....yep....like that!

My hair is too short for that

Hahaha! When I was 17 I worked at a restaurant that made me wear a kerchief over my hair. I hated it at the time, but I guess it was a good disguise.

If it's a second interview, you're probably pretty evenly matched with this other person in skills and experience. I would not give a definite answer for what amount of money you would settle for, only say that you're open to negotiate. Back when I was a manager, we often screened out people at this stage when we'd ask them what salary they wanted and they'd come back with something ridiculous. I didn't like asking people that because often they weren't from this area and didn't know what was a fair salary, but it was an HR question and I couldn't prevent them from asking.

She didn't bring up pay, so I didn't either, but I would assume minimum wage. The other candidate had way more experience than me, I compensated by enthusiastically learning from her.
It went okay and she said she would contact me in a couple of days to go over a schedule.
This place is so fancy, I am totally intimidated.
