Interview Day (thursday)
It’s been almost 5 days since I haven’t posted anything although a lot has happened. Partly because I had a lot to do (mostly work), but I’ve also been incredibly lazy in the two weekend days :p. I really thought like recuperating after a long week of hard work. But anywayz, taking things back to last Thursday where I seem to have cut the line of posts, this is what happened.
It was the day of the interview and we agreed on meeting at the Cafe LeCoq without first going to school. Me and Cata went anyway because we needed to print the interview guidelines that we had worked on the other day. So we got the material and went for LeCoq. It didn’t take long to find the place although it’s pretty well hidden in the streets. I stayed behing to wait for Sarkis and Dzhavat, while cata went to try and find a parking lot to leave the car.
Shortly after we were all gathered there and we meet with the owner of the place. He looks like a really nice person out of first impression. And we were surprised to find out that he finished the same education that we’re taking now, but a lot of years ago when the program first started and he was part of the first generation to take the course. Regarding this, it was really nice to be able to talk to someone who knew what we were talking about in terms of design and marketing strategies. He gave us a lot of useful feedback and in my opinion, the interview went really well. We got all the information that we needed and planned to find out and more. He told us about how he started and what’s usually going on in the local. He even gave us information about the target groups of the cafe and the restaurant. In all we ended up with more than we planned to asked for, and most of the extra information was very useful.
Thursday was a good day and we accomplished our goal. The stage is also open for a future meeting regarding solutions and propositions for the new design which need to be presented to the owner first before the start of the production phase. But that meeting is yet to come.
I attached the signed statement of agreement below.
