Hi all and thanks! That was perhaps the strangest "Interview" I've ever had! I walked in and the owner greeted me, then asked how the ride was so I told him that I sort of missed the longer rides so I could listen to sermons. Then, with no other questions, he asked "so how much to get you to work for me?"
What? I thought. But I got him talking without giving an answer, asking him questions about the company, how he's dealing with the economy, etc. After he told me he only pays 50% of health he informed me I'll get FREE car repairs!!!!!! (THATS HUGE!) Well, after all was said and done, he asked me again so I said "I know you have a budget, what was it you have in mind for the position." He said "twelve" I replied that with the price of gas (which he brought up on the phone when I said where I lived) there's no way I could do it for that.. Well, after some more discussion and interruptions by customers I informed him of my price. He said "I have a good feeling about you." Then he said, verbatim... "I'd like till tomorrow afternoon to call you to come to work for me on Monday, and it'll be for the amount you stated."
My price is a little lower than I'd like (considering the benefits are not that great) but with the benie of car repair, and my son not at home, I'll be back where I was at the last job!
The distance isn't as much of a problem as the traffic, it's the same distance as ACT was, but it's heavier traffic. Thats a downfall. OH well!
This guy is high strung, but not in a dizzy kind of way, he's down to earth and had me laughing! One of the customers, on his way out the owner said "see you in a month, don't be nice to your father and stay out of trouble!" I'm gonna remember that one "don't be nice to your father"
.
So, the final word will be tomorrow, but on my way out the door he said "I'll see you soon, and I WILL see you soon."
