I drove to Brookfield, WI with my father (for safety concerns).
We got to Brookfield safely and booked a hotel for the next few nights.
The next morning I drove to my 2:30 interview.
The interview went well and later in the day myself along with 3 other interviewees went on a Job Shadowing Assignment.
We carpooled with DDM employees to Watertown, WI to a Wal-Mart where, outside near the doors, we promoted and sold Child Safety ID kits to parents. (The product was to assist parents in easily creating a private and extremely comprehensive record of their child's personal and medical information, for use in an emergency.)
So, after 2 hours they had me take a break and sit in the Wal-Mart eatery to fill out an application and questionnaire. An hour later I turned in my paperwork and continued observing and promoting with the team outside.
We carpooled back to the company headquarters for the conclusion of the interview. They told me that the interviewing process would be over the next day and that I would hear from them on June 5th whether I got the job or not.
At this point I was excited that the extensive interview had gone so well..., yet I felt weary of the possible job opportunity....would I be happy? Is this right? Should I move to Wisconsin? ....I started having doubts.

The next day I spent exploring the city with my dad. We drove around and even met up with my cousin who lived in Milwaukee, WI.
I also spent the day thinking about the job......I was very happy my father was with me because I needed advice.

June 5, in the evening, while my dad and I were having dinner at a diner, I got the phone call from DDM, Inc. saying:
"You Got The Job, You're Hired!"

I turned it down.
I had made my decision, I felt I would not be happy long-term working for them. I didn't feel like I fit in. I felt my smile was too forced. It wasn't right for me. I felt it in my gut that it wasn't right.
