Tomorrow I am speaking with a recruiter for a talent acquisition position with Hershey's. At first I wasn't thrilled with the idea since the job is in Pennsylvania and second because it involved chocolate. Don't get me wrong, I love candy but chocolate is like my crack cocaine. I'm scared of it when it is in sight and available for consumption. But, as I read the job description, I guess it made sense to listen to the opportunity and assess after I have a clear idea about the role.
I have to admit though, today my mind was drifting to what it would be like for me to work at Hershey's. I immediately went to my point of reference Willy Wonka. I thought, wouldn't it be cool to have Oompa Loompas working for me? They could be my recruiters and provide feedback to the candidates with song and a powerful message. Oompa Loompa doopidee doo - I have another riddle for you - what do you do when you come in as candidate number two. We call you and send you a regret letter and say thank you.
OTHER STUFF
I went to the mall today to find an outfit for my daughter. It is Purim on Monday which is a Jewish Holiday where children dress up - similar to Halloween with whole different history. My daughter wants to be a Goth Chick. Now I am feeling old because I am not sure what the difference is between that and a vampire and a punker. So I went into a few stores trying to find her something that would make her look authentic and age appropriate (she is almost 8). I found a cute skull and cross bone locket and black boots. All I needed was a top or a dress she could wear that captures the goth essence.
I decided to try the Forever 21 Store. Now I don't know about you but stores with ages or limitations in the name bother me. It embarrasses me to go into Forever 21 when I am 43. Like I was forever 21 twice with an extra year thrown into it. I feel like I will be carded at the door. Sorry I digress...
I ended up finding sort of a slutty tattered shirt that will look like a dress on my beautiful daughter. I of course will have her wear leggings and a black long t-shirt under it. Let's hope she approves of my interpretation of goth. Maybe I will post a picture of the results. Let's hear it for hamantashen (a yummy triangle desset) and Purim!!
Realization -
I need to keep my mind open to all job opportunities and listen very carefully. I am sure Oompa Loompas do not work at Hershey's. Realization 2 - I know being old is an attitude not an age but, the Forever 21's of the world don't help forty something women's self esteem. Have a great weekend.
