How to get a job at banana republic?

Do you think I definately didn't get the job?

• Recently I got interviews at olive garden and banana republic. The olive garden manager said he'd call me last Saturday (a week ago) and again Thursday to set up my last interview date. They have yet to call me so does this mean I probably didn't get the job? And at my banana republic interview (last wednesday) they told me they would call me in the next couple of days if I got it because they have a training session next week so I can work black friday. How long do you think it will be before they call me? Do you have any tips/suggestions? Thanks

• Answer:

  I've had employers call me ahead of their provided projection of time and I've had employers forget me entirely. You definitely need to call the job you want the most if not both of them during business hours that are NOT their busiest hours, ask for a manager, reminding them of your existence and perhaps the skills and attitude that you want to bring to the company. For future reference always give someone in charge your resume, revise and improve this resume always until you are 200% satisfied with it, and dress the part. Do whatever it takes to honestly portray yourself as the winning candidate. Unfortunately I'd have to say that it sounds like they have passed over you but we can both hope that I am wrong. Do not let this discourage you. A business exists to be profitable, not to personally insult you. Be persistent like I have mentioned and look for ways to make yourself more desirable.
