Lady Freedom Returns

So I went on the Job interview..

I am to go back for a 2nd. one tomorrow. The big problem is what I nee before I get to work. A white button up (guy style) Short sleves, Black slacks and black no slip shoes.

Most places would work with me but this place will not. I don't even know if I should even go.

ADD) I have got to hurry and get a job. I already own my family $340 and it is growing! I will never get bake to Tucson if I keep having to pay back more and more! I need to save, but they are coming up with all kinds of ways for me not to be able to.

A 2nd interview is a good sign. It may not be the job of your dreams, but it will be the first step to getting back on your feet.

Good luck, Lady.

But then again I do have a B.A. in Communications. I also was a manger at one time, I know what the questions were going to be.

Those items shouldn't be too hard to find. You might find the shoes in Walmart? Fingers crossed for you.

And if you don't have time (or can't find) the needed attire at Goodwill, etc. tell them at the interview there will be no problem to follow the dress code.

Adding my GOOD LUCK!

I have found I've been able to get a white dress shirt for about $10 & pants anywhere from $12 & up. The shop may also be able to work with you if they've had others from this company buy from them.

I don't know where you are but if you have NO resources call some Social Services places and tell them your problem. There are a surprising number of places that help people get clothing for work. Pay them back and pay it forward when you can, but DON'T PASS THIS UP!

Fingers crossed for you!

I need a positive that they are hiring me and enough time for them to help. But with the 2nd interview being @ 2:30 pm and I may be need to come in the next morning it will be a long shot. I hope I can borrow a pair of paints from my 2nd. sister. She works at a restaurant. But that is iffy.
