The main problem S seems to be facing is distinguishing herself from all the other faceless applicants filling out online applications. Even with paper ones, sometimes the only people she encounters are the associates with zero hiring power.
I'm fairly convinced that the reason H had two job offers so quickly, is she happened to collect and turn in her applications to the very people who could hire her at those two stores.
With that floating around in the back of my mind, I had S present herself to the three closest Subway Sandwiches on Friday, after completing their online applications a few days earlier. One took her name and number, one told her to come back Monday when their hiring manager would be on site, one gave her the hiring manager's name and told her to call the next morning.
The call the next morning was a bust; it turns out the hiring manager didn't come in on weekends. Instead, she added an extra Subway to visit this morning. As a result, she got an impromptu interview with the one she was told to call. The other one was very nice, but told her they were overstaffed, even with some folks quitting. Still, progress.
S thinks she was just tired enough for her normal nervousness to be asleep, so she talked a lot and felt pretty good about the whole thing.
Tomorrow we cut out from gaming day a little early, so she can make it to an open interview at a local Taco Hut (Combo Pizza Hut/Taco Bell).
