Second-Round Interview For The Sign Spinner Position
The last one ended on a good note, but we’d like to give it another spin — the job requires it.
Hello again, I’m glad you could come back in on such short notice. We just had some additional questions about your background. The search for the right sign spinner is a costly, time-consuming process and we want to make sure that whoever we hire really is the best fit for the role.
As you know, a mattress store’s success rides solely on the shoulders of their sign spinner’s talent. Of the 35,000 mattress shops that open in America each year, only 33,000 are still in business after 3 years. Profits are razor thin, and the cost of replacing an errant sign carried off by a large pigeon can quickly put you underwater.
You look skeptical. Well, there are a lot of people in this country and they need a lot of mattresses, but discussing the philosophy of mattress sales is getting a little ahead of ourselves isn’t it? Let’s look at your resume again.
Previously you had indicated 3 years of experience as a baton twirler in your high school color-guard. Were these batons flat and arrow-shaped? Do you recall if they were covered in any messaging, possibly indicating up to 50% off of select queen-sized mattresses?
