Changing career path + job callback

I recently graduated with a bachelor's degree in education. I almost do not think teaching may be the right job for me. I feel so weird not being sure about what path I will take. I have been job searching, and I happened to email my resume' and a cover letter to McDonald's for a restaurant management position yesturday. Well, the guy emailed me his number and he wants me to call him today! I am so nervous as to what to say! I know I shouldn't think it, but what if he asks me just to be a regular employee. HAHA. I would just tell him I'm not interested. Why is he calling? I'm kind of nervous. What kind of things should I say? EEEEKKK!!!!

First off - congratulations!

When you call try to 'sell' yourself - drop in as many good points about yourself as you possibly can and use anything he says as a way to further tell him how great you are! Try not to be nervous, and good luck!

Congratulations and good luck! Just be yourself and you'll do fine. Let us know how everything goes.

Thanks guys. I called him, and got his voicemail. I left a message for him to call me back.

I was apprehensive about working at McDonalds, but management gets a nice salary with benefits, si it will be okay I think.

I am going through the interview process myself, although in a different industry/field. I will say, the pointers I received from friends of mine that hire, is to be very confident and sell yourself- you need to make it clear why you are their person. You also should be honest about what you're looking for.

I'd also say w/ a Bachelor's degree, I'm sure he knows you're over-qualified for an entry-level position.

Do you like children? There are several things you can do w/ a teaching degree- daycares, schools (obviously), etc.

Good luck!

I left teaching over a year ago after deciding it wasn't for me. (I'm now working in medical records in a doctor's office.) I don't think he'll ask you to work as a regular employee if you applied for a manger's position, and if he does, you can simply say, "No thanks, I'm looking for more of a managerial role." I'm sure he realizes that someone with a college degree would be more interested in a higher position. Good luck!
