I got hired at a store because I said I could “act like a care.”

My work history is a majority in entertainment.

My first job in college was dancing in a theme park.

But entertainment is a very unstable career.

So I’ve had to work different jobs in-between.

This woman had 5 years of work experience as a performer.

One job was a video game store (the one I’m sure we all know of).

During my interview, the manager commented on my “lack of work history.”

I had at least 5 years of work experience.

But they were all performance/entertainment jobs.

When asked how she could use her work experience in the job, she responded with a clever answer.

He asked me: “How does your history as an actor help this store?”

Me: “Well, if I’m dealing with a difficult customer, I can act like I care and keep a smile on my face the whole time.”

The hiring manager burst out laughing and said, “That’s a good one,” before writing something down.

At the end of the interview, I was offered a job on the spot.
