Default Woohoo! I got an interview!

So im on terminal leave for the USAF and my official out day is Aug. 10th sooo i kinda needed a job. I wasnt really trying to look TOO hard cuz im sorta trying to enjoy this little break i have of not working lol. Im getting permanently retired so im getting a paycheck every month forever (but my paperwork is going thru the VA right now to get a higher percentage) but of course i cant live on that alone. I put in an application for Toyota/Scion of Puyallup and i got a call today, hooray! I have an interview this thursday! That was pretty fast. So, unfortunately i cant make it to the Wild Waves thing that i planned. *sigh* Sorry! But at least i might have a job if my interview goes well! Just thought id share cuz im a little happy/nervous. This is my first ever job interview seeing as how the military was my first job. Yippeeee!

YAY!!! Ever since we first met, Mo's been saying you'd be great at selling Scions because of your passion and because you are just soooo cool.

Also, not to slight the wonderful Scion sales dealers like Steve, but as a woman, I would probably be more likely to purchase a car from another woman. It'd probably convince me as a buyer to purchase on something that I was unsure of before.

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

Congrats Benilda!!!... but boo-hoo no Wild Waves.

Selling Scions seems like it'd be fun for a Scion owner like you because your really into Scions. I heard that it can be stressful at times though... and very laid back... you can be like playing around online while your at working. Oh yeah,.. plus theres always been a demand for female sales"women." :D I hope you get the job!!!

Am I the only one who thought this sounded bad? I thought you were hurt or sick or something.

Anyway, congrats on the interview. Puyallup is really the only dealership I go to now. I just got an exhaust hanger from them the other day.

Good luck. I'm sure you'll do fine.

Terminal leave is something that is used up at the end of your term with the military. You can either sale back your left over leave that you didn't use or request to get out early on "terminal leave." I used 45 days for my terminal leave.
