Will I get the job in Retail?
Like many others, my private $30K a year University has a motto "our students after graduation lead an extraordinary life". I graduated 1.5 years ago, and I ended up with 1) no life 2) huge loans to be paid off and 3) no no job in my Field (2 majors : Psych, Crmnj). Only 1 person from the Career Center after tons of emails, have decided to EDIT my resume, which I must admit was extremely helpful. Despite the fact that I have already 5 years of Customer Service experience & administration + degree I was often offered $10 per hour. Doesn't this look as exploatation? I worked for 2 seasons PT in retail and fashion and I loved it. I applied and have been interviewed today for FT job with an idea to go lower & work it up step by step! I came early 45 min, dressed for success, 2 managers interviewed me for over an hour. I was told they are interested & will contact me in 2 weeks (after background check). Are those good signs???? Do you think I'll get it? It's a well known retail. Thanks!

- Those are good signs. If you don't here from them in two weeks, follow up with them. Good luck!
- It sounds as if you made a good impression on them. If you haven't heard from them in 2 weeks, contact them to ask about the status of the interview... if a decision has been made. Sometimes employers lose resumes with phone numbers. It has happened to me.
