Yesterday was the worst interview I have ever had. Macy's retail group interview. One woman in my group would not stop talking about her financial desperation, and another guy had a blinking twitch that I couldn't help but stare at. HOWEVER, due to the unfortunate people in my group, I was definitely the shining star. BUT, the manager made it clear that they no longer had any jobs available, so they were just doing general inquiries. So not only was it awkward, but it was pointless and a waste of my time. I did a light batch of retail therapy (spent $7 between a coffee drink and a set of STRAP PERFECTS) to make myself feel better.
BUT THEN SOMETHING AMAZING HAPPENED!
I got a call yesterday that I missed from Sam's ex-boyfriend (a guy we went to school with together for a while; we actually worked on "Three Sisters" together). His name is Dan, and he has practically handed me a job on a silver platter. A friend of his, Andi, is looking for an Assistant Stage Manager to go on tour with a big band show she is stage managing. I do not know Andi, I do not know the name of the show, I do not know where it is touring.
You might ask: "Well, Maddie, what DO you know?"
I know that it will pay $500 a week (not great, but not minimum wage either).
I know it will cover my travel expenses.
I know I will receive per diem.
I know that it seems a lot more productive than what I am doing right now.
I know that it would tour September - November.
So I talked to Dan for a while about this job, and he sold it to me as, "If you want it, it's yours." He and Andi are very close and he has referred me very highly to her. Something for which I am in a huge debt to him.
So I just finished polishing my theater resume and I sent it off to Andi. I will let all of you know information as it comes to me. Fingers crossed.
