Hi all,
Today I had my interview with the owner of a New Age store about 20-25 min away. The interview was for a reader position.
I used my newly replaced New Orleans Voodoo Tarot, which is the deck I'm most comfortable with (hey, you put your best foot forward in an interview!).
I ended up doing three separate readings (6 cards each) for the owner. She liked my style, had an appreciation for the NOVT, which she hadn't seen before (most people haven't. LOL), and my readings were rather accurate...so accurate that she sent me to the booking person to see what was open. She said that I was very open, informative, and "a different kind of reader".
(I can interpret that description in so many ways...
)
I also mentioned that I read with oracles, and she told me to list that as a reading service as well.
My first spin will be on October 26.
Now I have to make up a flyer/brochure, get business cards, and figure out what to charge (I normally just accept donations). And I may need to offer some readings in the REading Exchanges (tarot and oracle) with the decks I don't use that much (like the Gilded and the Crystal Oracle) since they are more public-friendly.
The funny thing was...she and I both agreed that some may be scared by the NOVT, and she was very glad (and relieved) to hear that I have other decks that I read with. I also off
She also had never heard of the Deviant Moon and Revelations deck...but since I talked up the Deviant Moon and mentioned that Revelations is on my wish list, she is going to order them for the store.
I haven't read in public for...um...8 years, not counting the readings I've given at my monthly tarot group.
