TwoJobInterview AndStoreBoughtC00kiesForTheGuys Last Week, I interviewed for a job at Smith's Bakery. My Jewelry is usually very important to me but in the Baking Industry, it is not worn because of sanitation laws. During the Interview, I wore my crystal stud earrings that would be allowed at work. I also wore my rings because I wear them most of the time anyway although I would not wear them at work. The interviewer asked me about the meaning of one of my rings. I told her that it was a Star. She asked me if it was a religious symbol. I told her that I preferred not to discuss religious beliefs at work. She said that they had to know about religious beliefs so that they could give the employees time off for religious holidays. Yeah Sure! Do Christians get Sundays off. I doubt it. I used to LOVE working Christmas and Easter so that Christian Co-Workers could have that day off. I would collect the holiday pay and take off Yule or the Equinox. Nevertheless, those kind of interview questions are totally illegal. I left that interview with the feeling that that job opportunity went out the window even though I am totally qualified for the job. I will file a complaint because it might just protect another potential employee from religious discrimination. So this week, I got a call for an interview from WallyWorld. This time, I wore my amber earrings. If the interviewer noticed my rings - she didn't mentioned it. It was strictly work related questioned and I aced the interview. After the second interview, I was sent to take the drug test. After the results, I will be back to baking bread at WallyWorld. I stopped at Smith's today. They still have a sign up asking for Bakery Help. I purchased c00kies for the guys at the meeting. Hey Where is our flat c00kies, the guys joked. I am sorry guys, no more flat c00kie, from now on, I will be getting paid to make your c00kies and getting a WallyWorld Discount before taking them out of the store. I'll not be buying anymore c00kies from Smith's.  Abracadabra  |

This reminds me of something similar that happened to me.....An artistic person, and a "Wilton" graduate, I decorate some beautiful cakes. When my family needed medical insurance, I applied for and was hired at Safeway. When sent to the store designated for me, the bakery manager told me I was too short! And refused to let me go to work there. I called the person who hired me, and she was aghast that the manager had actually said that! Offered another position, I refused, ( and of course gave her MY opinion) and do not shop Safeway stores any longer......
