My Naked Job Interview

Here is a good safety tip ; check and double check and then tripple check , what you're doing, when you send attachments, in an email. Here's what happened to me when I got careless.
................................................................
My buddy Mike, called me up last week and gave me the heads-up, on a new job opportunity, in the company he works for. It was for a 'Web Content/Social Media Director/Marketing Content Provider', which (roughly translated), meant - 'creative writer of a bunch of stuff'. It sounded like it was right up my alley. I'd held similar positons in the past, so I thought - 'Sure, let's go for it!'.

I submitted my CV via the corporate website and in less than a day, Melanie, from 'HR' , called me up and we set up an interview for the following day, in the late afternoon.

Melanie (an attractive, blond haired , curvy woman in her mid to late 40's), greeted me as I walked into her office. The interview (although surprisingly thorough) , went as well as I expected, so when she asked me if I had any sample writing to provide, I pulled out a vanilla folder with a printed copy of four examples of blogs and stories that I had written.

Melanie looked at me and immediately spoke .

"Actually, if you could, send them to me via an email attachment, that would be better, since there will be more than a few people reading it and some, are off site.", she said smiling.

"No worries." I quickly replied. "In fact... I can send them to you from your lobby before I leave. You'll have them in a few minutes."

"Great! The sooner the better! I look forward to receiving them. ", she replied as she stood up. We both smiled warmly and with a firm handshake, I exited her office.

I looked at my watch. The interview had taken longer than expected. I had planned to pick up my from her office and go out for dinner.

'Damm...! ' I thought to myself. ' I am going to be late.'

I sat in the arm chair of the lobby, pulled out my cell phone and started rummaging through the folders that contained my written words. I then noticed that the 'Data Icon' on my phone was not lit - no service! The lobby had Wi-Fi but I needed a password. I approached the lobby receptionist however there were several other people ahead of me. I waited as patently as I could while glancing furtively at my watch, repeatedly - hoping somehow, time would stand still. The password was - 'Hello'. 'Really... ?', I thought to myself.

Finally, sitting back down in that chair, I fumbled around trying to find my blogs and stories. Eventually ... success. I quickly composed the email, hurriedly attached four various stories and blog posts, pressed 'enter' and waited until the message 'completed', appeared on my phone. I then headed out to pick up my .

'I might still make it.', I thought.

I actually arrived slightly ahead of schedule and so I waited for my in the parking lot of the company she works for. Quite pleased with myself (all things considered), I opened up the email that I had sent - just to be sure all had gone well... and it had. However... to my horror... I noticed that I had accidentally included one of my 'erotic stories' (from an adult sex site named... (yep) - A F F), amongst those that I had attached. It was a story called - 'Lust Amongst the Pines'. All of the color drained from my face; I was white. Mind you, it's a well crafted, lusciously descriptive and erotic story that's well paced and humorous - but it's NOT appropriate as a sample for a business review of my writing skills. I clasped my head in my hands and thought, 'Oh well.' I was disappointed in myself not to mention, more than slightly embarrassed.

Early the next morning I received a phone call from Melanie in 'HR'.

"Paul?", she began. "Melanie here. I just wanted to say that we've read your content and we'd like you to meet with our 'Principals' . Can you come by this afternoon?"

I was in shock. 'They are calling me back? Wow!', I thought to myself.

"Uhhh... Sure... This afternoon is fine. Yes. I'll be there. ", I couldn't believe it.

Melanie greeted me in her office, prior to introducing me to the 'Principles', of the company, however her demeanor had changed. As I sat down in the chair in front of her she smiled coyly and began.

" Your stories and blogs are very well written. Especially that one where that couple is caught making love in the forest by those hikers. So descriptive and real. I thought I was there.", she smiled and grinned from ear to ear.

I must have turned several shades of red before I stammered a reply.

" Well, I hadn't intended to send THAT one. It got in there by mistake and... "

" I figured that much. ", she interrupted me. "That's why I deleted it from the email, prior to sending it along to the others. It's really quite good though. Then again, I've read all your material before. " she continued.

At this point I was speechless." Ummm... really? I don't know how you could have read anything of mine before?", I replied, stammering.

" Well, aren't you posting to that adult site? Your blog is interesting. Well ... anyway... when I read it, I realized that you might have made a mistake.", she continued. The twinkle in her eyes caught my attention.

I wanted to ask her a question. I wanted to know what her 'User Profile Name', was. I wanted to ask her quite a few things. I never got the chance.

" Let's introduce you to the others, shall we?", she said as she stood up. "I'll be looking forward to your next blog post." she whispered to me in a playful and hushed tone.

I am not sure if I'll get this job. Thank goodness for Melanie's intervention, and yet my<b> curiosity </font></b>about her has me more than intrigued - as she anonymously 'pervs' me ! Perhaps there will be a third interview? Melanie (not her real name by the way), if you're reading this - Yo girl ... message me... Lol...

Anyway... This is not the worst that has ever happened to me with texts and emails. I guess one of the worst was when I accidentally attached a dic pic to a female friend of mine. I wanted to attach another picture of myself, but I hovered over that naked pic for one second too long and - poof..... It went out there to her. Omg... Was I embarrassed.... Or what? She took it in stride and laughed about it, admitting that she was impressed. In a recent exchange with her, she claimed that she still has my pic. Eeee... Ok. That's kinda hot! I'm looking at her in a new light. Lol

There's a popular female blogger here that I had been messaging with when I got a message from a guy I know on here. All of a sudden I was messaging back and forth from one to the other. He mentioned that he thought she was kind of insecure and needy because her posts are self promoting. I was getting annoyed with him so I shot back a "yes, she can be needy and usually fishing for compliments" kind of message when I realized I'd sent it to her by mistake. She was hurt, I was pissed, and this idiot who caused it all went his merry way. Me and her really don't talk much to this day.

Yep. That's happened to me a few times but in a different way. Somebody replied to ALL on an email where private words were being shared. Oh well... I learned my lesson Thanks for sharing...

Hmmm. Some things you can, but not your comment on someone's blog. But in my case it was an email. I was toast... Thanks for dropping by. Good tip there about not drinking and texting... Lol

Hope you find her. Hell just go back and ask her out


Paulxx001 replies on 9/3/2018 2:20 pm:
That's pretty much what I was thinking. I have to find out if I got the job first though - otherwise, in today's culture, there's liable to be an HR issue before I even start working there . Lol. Thanks for dropping by.

Happy Labor day, and your very lucky that Melanie caught that before sending it to the others in the company. And I agree with her it was a great blog and your an amazing writer. I hope you get the job, and you get to find out what Melanie's name is here on the site..Good luck..

Seduce the mind and see what a wonderful adventure the body will take you on..


Paulxx001 replies on 9/3/2018 4:39 pm:
Thanks for the props. If I don't get it, no worries as I'm currently working, but it would be fun to get paid for doing something that I truly love. Thanks for popping in.

I have occasionally mixed up IM chats. I apologized and tend now to avoid multichatting. Otherwise, I'm just a dull old gal.

Which would you prefer - the job or Melanie?

Opportunity may knock only once, but temptation bangs on the door forever!


Paulxx001 replies on 9/3/2018 5:13 pm:
That's a really good question. Melanie is a little young for me, but I'm up for it if she's the playful type. With all honesty, though - I'd rather have the job. Oh you... and your questions.. Lol. Thanks for stopping by.
