| No, I made a mistake and corrected it. It was a while ago, dude. Chill out. |

Upon further reflection, I think that I was 22, because the person who got me the interview in the first place was someone I met through a friend I met after uni. The salary is actually on the low end for an executive assistant, hence why I was up for the job at that age. You need years of experience to make 6 figures. My friend has been an executive assistant for 15 years now, and she gets over 100k. She works really long hours though, and, from what she tells me, it's not a job that I think I could do without being angry a lot of the time. This was a job at Bear Stearns, and the job was working for a woman, but, unfortunately, I never got to meet her because of the HR interviewer. Funnily enough, this woman who called me out for my not wearing a blazer was 30 minutes late to work that day, so I ended up having to wait. Stupid hypocritical bint.
Eh. What can you do? If I'd worn the blazer, passed the other tests and gotten the job I wouldn't have gone into publishing, found out that I didn't like publishing, moved here, or met my husband. Things work out. |
"Upon further reflection"
Oh, you mis-spoke!
Basically, your story didn't hash so now you've decided to change it. |
That tends to happen a lot here. |

Yep. Strange how someone can have such an acute attention for details and drop the ball on something like this. Remembers every little thing in detail but can't even remember when the interview took place. Because, it was a long time ago.
Interview Q&As probably didn't match CV. |

We barely got to the interview stage, because she immediately started on about my not having worn a blazer.
OMG I made a mistake and corrected myself.  End of the world. Everything I've ever said must have been fabricated! You've never made a mistake with a date? lol Anyway, dress nicely or you may not get the job. It's pretty simple. I made the mistake when I was younger, and am glad that I learned it, even though I never had an interview for a job that paid that much again. <<sniffle>> Ah well.
Anyway, have a good night. I'm off to watch Breaking Bad. Feel free to continue if you want, but I won't be responding to this thread as all that had to be said has been. |

Enjoy the movie. No problem. Apology accepted. |
