I answered an ad on Craigslist for a personal assistant. It was somewhat vague - said it was for the CEO of a small company, would run errands, schedule appointments, etc. I replied by email. He told me to call. When I called at 8:30AM, he told me I woke him up. So sorry. Didn't call back for about a week - then called at 7:30PM on a Saturday night. Odd. Wanted me to come in at 3PM on Tuesday for an interview - and I needed 3 copies of my resume. I looked up the address on Google Earth and it was a real office building. Several friends said I was crazy for going unarmed, but I knew I could stab someone with my keys if I had to.
Dressed up and drove to the interview. There was a real building. Office was small - maybe 4 people working there. The CEO was single and had to be younger than 25. He invited me into a room with two other guys - also younger than 25. All three were dressed in nice suits - kindof entourage-like. It was funny. They turned on a video camera, passed out my 3 copies and asked qeustions. 1. Do I like animals? I do, except for snakes. [they didn't laugh] Because he has a dog and I might need to play with it and clip toenails. [it wasn't a joke]. Sure, I like dogs. 2. Can I stay in hotels and be away from town? Sure, why not. 3. Can I drive long distances? I am from Texas. 4. Have I ever driven a Mercedes? No. Really? No. 5. Could I drive to Vegas and back in a day? 6. Could I drink alcohol? Maybe a glass I said.
The list of possible assignments includes: cleaning house, laundry, walking dog, taking notes constantly...for $8 an hour?
It was everything I could do not to laugh throughout the interview. They haven't called.
Oh yeah, I had to fill out an E-harmony inventory to see if my personality matches the CEO's. I think maybe it is a cover for finding him a wife. I've decided to say no if they do call...

hahaha. aw, this would be so fun. . . for about two weeks.
I got an email from the U of Phoenix saying they reviewed my resume, but don't have a need for me right now. Sigh. That was so what I was going to do for the summer.
I'm sorry! They change every few months they said, so maybe you could apply again during the summer. You'll find just the right thing.
