Being a beautiful kiss ***** also helps. I've always considered myself extra friendly and helpful, but who the hell seriously gets up and cleans the place before they interview? That's just overkill.
Sorry..no offense.
Why wouldn't you believe me? Why on earth would I lie about something so ridiculous?

Overkill? It got her the position. How long have you been looking?

Honestly, I've never heard of such a thing. Why would she get up and clean the conference room?? It's a bit strange, but hey, whatever works I guess.

I have a feeling they will taking advantage of this nice southern girl, overloading her with work, and stressing her out in no time. Why would a receptionist work 60+ hours per week?

Because it is more than a receptionist position. The company is a new one based in Geneva and this is their first US office. She isn't just answering phones.

Contrary to what some of you think, she isn't some country bumpkin. She is a Rhodes Scholar.

She's been around the block a few times.

I haven't needed to look lol. Look, I'm glad she got a job and if working 60+ hours a week for 45k is her cup of tea, so be it. I sure wouldn't lol.

Obviously not enough times, because people who have been around the block a time or two know better than to clean conference rooms during interviews and accept a 45k, 60hr/week job. I make better money than that and I'm not even finished with my Bachelors. I feel really sorry for her, but at the same time I really don't. She set herself up for that.

A hot girl with that sort of disposition could make $100k+ dancing on tables at the right place if you factor in the tips they don't claim, so yeah, $50k would be bit of an insult to put up with those two "pricks". Not mention have to push papers for them.
