Well I’m in. I guess. LOL. It’s kind of a crazy story but I have officially been accepted for Spring Advantage 2011 as a Merchandise College Program Participant!! I wanted Attractions but I’m actually really excited about Merch for one specific reason… I can work ANYWHERE!! Well almost anywhere, I can work in any retail location that doesn’t need special training. I am totally going to pick up shifts in different locations.
Now for the story, on Sept. 20th I decided that after 4 weeks I should email them and find out why I hadn’t heard from them yet. In the Thank You for Interviewing email they ask you to do this. Right after I sent that email my inbox reloaded and I had an email from them already. Figuring it was a standard thanks for email I opened it up. To my shock it was an email from DCP informing me that I was running out of time to accept my invitation for the Spring Advantage Merch Role. Ummmm huh? At that point I had not gotten an email or letter from them inviting me to even join. At that point I wasn’t sure what was going on but Tech Services emailed me later. DCP had sent an email 2 WEEKS ago! It apparently bounced back so I never got it! Yikes! I almost missed out entirely because of that bounced email! But I didn’t so that’s good. I’ve officially accepted and paid the fee at this point. Now to pick an arrival date…
