Mother May I . . . Toot my Own Horn

Wednesday morning I had another interview at a bank. Business suit, my 'look smart' glasses, close toe shoes, straight silk hair cut, professional as I could be even though I am a complete mess inside. As I waiting in the comfortable chairs in the lobby before my interview i watched the bank tellers greet their guest with 'crazy happy insanely' smiles and everyone was just 'crazy happy insanely' happy with their professional box of professionalism. I was exhausted just watching them. As I observed this circus i mentally prepared myself to suck-it-up and convert my negative disposition into a 'i need this job' attitude. No inner arguments!
The entire hour long interview were based on situational questions to which i referred to my managerial and guest service experience. Let me be frank - I ROCK at interviewing. It is a gift i have (Kara's calls it my 'charm').

As i left the interview i felt very neutral. I did well, I answered every question with hard evidence of my professionalism and successes. But i had this gut feeling that the branch would rather have someone within the city (as i live 25 minutes away) or maybe someone with a banking background - something was simply not right with my departure of the interview.
This morning around 9 i received a call from the recruiting personal in Sacramento to which i pass on to my voicemail because i rather get one more hour of sleep then wake up early just to get rejected.

A few hours later i call her back to which the conversation goes something like this . . .

"Hello Janelle . . . this is (insert name) from the recruiting office of (insert name)"
"Yes, hello (insert name), how are you today? " (as if there is any point on her answering that question - it is simply one of societies must-do's)
"Oh I'm fine. Thank you. Do you have a moment to talk about you interview that you had yesterday?"
"Sure i do. Go right ahead" (as if i could be insanely busy with drinking my morning coffee around noon)
"Well after some discussion with the Oroville branch they have decided to offer the teller position to another candidate" (insert inner scream on my part) "however, i wanted to tell you that the two managers were really impressed with your interview that they want to refer you as Teller Manager within our Sacramento region, however, we do not have a Teller Manager position open at this time. If it is okay with you i would like to call you when one opens up if you are still interested?"

So. . . of course. . . I said 'Yes' and i realize it may be some time before that happens and maybe not at all but i think it boosted my self confidence a little and that's sometimes more rewarding than a pay check.
