Interview
OK so I met with two lovely women from Michael Walters Advertising for a new job. Let me describe this new place compared to the old one…Hard wood floor when you walk in. Lovely tables flanking the entry way that look like they’re from Restoration Hardware or maybe Room and Board…beautiful wood with cast iron. there’s a baby grand piano in the middle of the space behind the receptionst. The whole place looks like a hard loft with the exposed bricks, beams etc. I can see a cushy couch/love seat straight back in an office who’s door is parallel to the entry way. it’s over stuffed and has a possible flower pattern and it was calling out to me to go sit on it. From the waiting area I could see the kitchen. They had cases of water and soda for anyone to grab and drink….no fending for yourself. and everyone who walked by said “hello” to me.
Now when compared to the office I’m currently working in where all the walls are painted gray, the newly added doors to the PR hallway makes the offices there seem like cells. NOTHING is open or airy in our space and everyone is segregated. In that you have to make an effort to walk around to socialize with others… not such a good way to make coworkers feel like they work together.
So yeah.. it’d be a much more pleasant work environment and a more stable company.
Cross your fingers for me everyone!
