Yesterday I got a call from Tesco, asking if I could come in early in the morning today for an interview. I accepted (this job is perfect for me, and out of all I've applied for, I want this one the most) but this was pretty sudden, and I was a bit of a mess trying to revise and plan (it'd be my first ever interview!). I ended up staying up all night just to get to grips with the process and the questions they might ask (this might not have been the best idea, but I made a conscious decision between being tired vs being completely unprepared).
So... where things went wrong. I got there alright, and everything was running smoothly, I wasn't that tired and felt comfortable. But no one was showing up to interview me in the shop. The poor workers were chasing people down to try work what's up, after I repeatedly said it wasn't an error on my part.
But you guessed it, it was. Somehow I got the wrong postcode... And not knowing the area as well as I should I went to the wrong store. D: (In my defence though, from what I've seen around here most people get interviewed in the Extra, not the Express...)
Obviously I only realised this after I'd come home though and spent at least an hour there trying to find what went wrong with the friendly workers.
R.I.P whatever chances I had at being employed at Tesco.
I've phoned the store I went to and apologised for my stupid mistake. I will now phone the correct store, and also apologise profusely for not arriving.
I thought worse case scenario today was being late or being bad at the interview questions. How wrong was I... I hope someone can learn something from this.
