I started the day out by drinking the half-mug of Barry's Irish. I brewed a pot of tropical green, being careful to measure the water temp for optimal taste haha. I think the range is 140*F to 180*F. I added the tea-ice cubes my mom made with half a mug of tropical green some time ago. I only managed to drink half of the mug. I realized that I couldn't find my wallet, and I still don't know where it is. It should be in the apartment though.
Had my group interview at Pier 1 today. There were 2 other girls interviewing. The interviewer (flaming dude) said there were more, but they all canceled that morning. Every group interview I've been to, there's people that ask such pussy-ass questions. I just don't get it. Somebody always manages to ask "What is your favorite part of working at ____" and "What is your least favorite part of working at ____". Seriously, people? Who cares? Well, I don't. I asked a salary question, which Virginia Tech says not to do; apparently it gave my interviewer the impression I was only there for the salary. Well, upon reviewing my application and resume, one can quickly surmise that I am looking for a summer job, seeing as all employment history is June-August, and that my expected graduation date is 2012, from a university not within commuting distance. Anyway, he responded professionally, saying that he is not at liberty to say, and that it will be discussed with the second interviewer, if Pier 1 decides to proceed with the interviewing process. This is good, meaning that they aren't just hiring people and paying them minimum wage... hopefully.When it was over and he was asking for any last questions, the other two girls were in the midst of getting up when I asked "when should we expect to hear back from you?". Isn't it obvious? He said in the next couple days, but what if it wasn't? What if they had a huge applicant pool and they were holding interviews for a new store? I don't know. I thought I asked good questions. If they thought I was too aggressive and not pussy-foot enough, then they can hire those other two applicants. Who said they would be a good fit for Pier 1 because they work with kids. Because obviously, their demographic is children, children that want papasans that cost $100 for just the frame.
Felt like a damn tea party. That took place in an underground room with mismatched furniture. Slick, Pier 1.

Hello! I came across your comment while researching this company. I also have a Pier 1 group interview this Sunday. Can you give me more information about your experience (types of questions asked, what to expect,etc?) The manager said this is something new the company has started. Thanks so much!
