Whats a girl to do?!

Overqualified. Under Qualified. Is there no in between? What's a girl to do?

So, today I had my last interview at McCormick's Seafood. The interview was going extremely well. He was like good answers, good answers. Then we got to the menu. I did not know that there were 10 different types of Groupers, I did not know that Tilapia was farm bread (I guessed correctly though) and I sure as hell didn't know what sea bass tasted like. First of all, I do not eat fish. Long story short- I was told my personality was awesome and that I presented myself very well. However, he was a little concerned about my knowledge of their menu, which consisted of lots of fish. I assured him that my 4 year college degree had to be good for something. I said, I think I can study, memorize and pass a test about fish with flying colors. He laughed-naturally. He gave me a menu in case I wanted to start my research. That is, if I even get offered the job. I guess tomorrow I will find out if they want to put in the time to provide me the "extensive" training I need.

Now, if I am not qualified enough to get a restaurant job, you would think I am good to go at a retail store right? ERRR wrong. Today, I got a rejection email from Ikea. "Thank you for your interest in our company, but at this time, we are looking into more QUALIFIED candidates." Well, damn. If I knew getting a college degree meant I couldn't have a career or a job to get by, then I would have just became a stripper from the JUMP.

Things are looking up though, I have a SECOND interview at a tanning salon tomorrow. I guess I could handle selling tanning packages to white chicks all while getting super bronze myself. If you know me, you know how much I like to tan.


So, I wonder...When will I actually be qualified for a job??
