"Do you stop at 50th?" I ask the sullen driver.
"Nope," he responds.
"Well, what's the closest stop?"
"51st."
I mean really. He couldn't have exerted the effort and answered 51st "just one block away" when I asked the first time?
Anyway, I get to my interview and meet Afton. She's lovely. We have spoken on the phone a few times; she is looking for a sales associate in men's clothing. But since cross-selling is required, I'd be able to sell in any department.
I think she found me on LinkedIn and liked my J.Hilburn experience.
My biggest— maybe only — reservation is that it would be another all-commission job.
On the plus side,
- Saks is one of my favorite stores.
- I know the brand well.
- I know its competition.
- I know many many people who shop at Saks; if they agree (and there's no reason why they shouldn't), I can add them to my client list.
- I'm available to work on nights and weekends.
- I think I'm over the gee, I used to be...
- And, I have ample shopping experience.
Still, it's another commissioned job. There's no steady income. I'm not sure I'd be able to continue with Real Estate and J. Hilburn. And its another job that requires hustling for every dollar.
I'll be on the Cape next week, and along with sea-floating and eating seafood, I'll be doing a lot of thinking.
