So apparently I spent part of yesterday with smudged eyeliner and green-tinged eyeshadow that made it look like I had a black eye, and didn't notice until I got home. Luckily I know it wasn't during the interview since I went into a bathroom soon after the interview, but that explains some of the weird looks I was getting on the train.
Oh, and some assholes decided to catcall me as I was heading back from the interview. I ignored them. I have no idea if it was related, but if it was, that's even more disturbing. And unfortunately that's pretty consistent with the area I was in, which is well known to be kind of shady.
Speaking of shady, I had two separate phone calls from companies wanting me to come in to interview with them. 5 minutes of digging later and it became obvious that both are very shady and/or a scam and the "jobs" are just door to door stuff that would require a car I don't have, never mind that I know from experience how terrible I am at that sort of thing, so I politely said no. Plus I'd have to go all the way out to Wellesley for one, and a little more digging showed that they've changed their company name several times, which is a real warning sign as that's mostly a way to avoid being associated with negative reviews, and said reviews say very bad stuff. I'm trusting my instincts on this one.
Luckily while I am in need of a job, I'm not gullible, but that's really quite disturbing.
