She helped me, and that's how I'm repaying her, by bringing the conglomerate into her life.
This is my 6th job in 2 years. I have no work references. She gave me full-time hours, the schedule that I wanted and a key to the store, because of my interview, resume (with my high school standardized test scores from 1991), and my striving to be as professional as possible.
I didn't tell her that I was homeless, but I'm sure that she realizes that there's some terrible issue in my life. I am 45 years old and applying for entry-level, customer service jobs at job search websites. She hasn't asked me any personal questions. She hasn't pried.
