Which were my least proficient? She asked me to come in and groom a dog in front of her for a technical observation. I was offered the job on the spot.

Interview
I interviewed with the store manager, he was polite and asked me a lot of questions. He told me a lot about the grooming salon. I was only applying to be a groomer, he kept asking me if I would be interested in a management position. I told him I was not interested. He introduced me to the grooming salon manager at the time and also to a groomer and a bather. I talked to them for a while before leaving.
