Adulting 101- Tuesday- 2nd period
Today the Danger Shop was made up like an office lobby, and Kitty was dressed in a nice, professional-looking suit.
"Previously, we talked about finding a job, and today we're going to work on the first step," she began. "You're going to have an interview, and you're even going to have to look the part. Now, there's this old saying about dressing for the job you want, not the one you have. So you're never going to want to go in in jeans and a t-shirt, though you also don't have to get super dressed up if you're looking for something like a retail job. Try to make yourself look presentable, like you're put together and responsible. You're going to figure out what kind of job you want to say you're interviewing for, and then use your best judgment as to how you look.
"And then you're going to sit down for an interview with me," Kitty went on. "Normally you're going to want to show up fifteen minutes early to fill out paperwork, and don't be late. If you can't help but be late, call and tell them or see if you can reschedule, and give as much notice as possible. If you have a copy of a resume, bring it, along with two forms of ID. If you didn't do a job application for them before, you probably will now. They want to know about your experience and schooling and people who can vouch for you, which by the way, you can always use me for. And then once that's done, they'll bring you in to talk about yourself. So, go get ready, and then I'll call you in."

Re: Interview
"Good to meet you, Mr. Barnes. Which position are you applying for today?"
Re: Interview
Re: Interview
"If you had to pick what job you'd be qualified for to interview right now, what would it be?" Kitty prompted.
Re: Interview
Was he just listing off things he'd gotten experience in since he started going here? Duh-doy.
"Former quarterback disc jockey record store clerk," he decided, nodding on the almagamation of it all with confidence.
"Oooh, wait. Scrap the clerk part. Let's do sports commentator!"
With that, he put his finger to his ear as if holding a headset in place. "And there goes Culter with the pass, shat an atm! The pass is good, they're heading down the field, no one can catch him, almost there, aaand... touchdown! The crowd goes wild!"
And in case Kitty needed the extra atmosphere, Troy definitely had it covered with the crowd cheering noises, too.
Re: Interview
"Very nice demonstration," Kitty tried. "What qualifications do you have, exactly?"
Re: Interview
"Well," he offered, "I was starting quarterback for Riverside High the past two years. I had to stop due to an injury, but I still love sports. And I've been doing the radio broadcasts here on the island for a while now, pretty much since I started to go here. I can even provide two references," like this was a lot, "Summer Smith and Astrid Magnussen, they've been my cohosts! And Tisarwat! She's my boss at the music store, I started working there a few weeks ago."
And then he looked insanely proud of himself for having all that to offer.
Re: Interview
And then, just in case, she added, "In the workplace?"
