NEW JOB!!!

I finally have found a job! I have been searching non-stop since I got home from Colorado and I have finally found a job.

Just a few of the places I have tried are Staples, Burger King (gotta carry on the tradition!), Macey's and a whole lot of other random places on the Internet.

Staples, was promising at first, but then it was a definite N-O. I went their with just a resume in hand. They accepted it. I dropped in a few days later and the assistant manager told me to fill out an online application and then to give him a call. It seemed really promising! So I went and filled out the application and then gave him a call. He put me on hold while he pulled up the application on his computer. He came back and bluntly told me that I didn't pass the personality test and that he couldn't hire me. This was followed immediately with a goodbye and *click*.

Burger King seemed even more promising. I went in turned in an application along with a resume and then returned a few days later to check in with them. They promptly scheduled me with an interview. The first interview rolled around and it was interesting. They didn't come out and get me until about half an hour later. And then she asked me if we could reschedule, saying that they were having issues with the crew. So I came back in for the next interview and it seemed less promising. I tried to joke with her and make the interview into more of a conversation rather than an interrogation. She did a great job keeping a straight face, I must say!! She told me that they would call me by the end of the week when they got things figured out. She also told me that they hired a ton of people just prior to my first interview. They never called so I took initiative and called them. Each time I called, I couldn't seem to get hold of the right person.

So the next place I tried was Walmart. Mom and I were doing some shopping there for valentines day. When we checked out, there was a person helping the cashier and it happened to be an assistant manager. So randomly I asked her if they were hiring. She said that they were and that I should fill out the online application. I lost hope just because they all seem to say that. When we were walking out Mom told me that I should go back and tell her that I have had a really hard time finding a job and ask her if she could consider me a little more (in essence). So I went back and talked to her and she took my name down and told me once more to fill out the online application. So I filled it out and forgot about it. The following week, I get a call from a department manager asking if I would be available for an interview. Of course, I said heck yes!

So I went in on Monday. It was a two part interview, once by the (...by the way it's snowing) department manager and once by an assistant manager. By the way, the position that they are interviewing for is in the electronics department! After the first interview with the department manager, we just hung out a little and he showed me a few things of the sources available on the computers. I turned to him and asked him what the chances were of getting this job. He told me that they were really high! He continued to tell me that he has a little bit of say in this. So I went into the next interview and did almost the same thing, it was a little different than the first, but not much. Afterward, he had me filling out some forms for background checks and stuff. He got me all situated with taking a drug test (which I did yesterday) and just a few other things. I turned to him and asked him, like I did the department manager, how much of a chance I had at getting the job. He looked confused. He asked what job. I hesitantly replied "This job". He looked at me even more confused. He said, "You already have this job." Then recognition hit his face. He said, "Oh, sorry! I should have told you, you're hired!" Anyway, so I'm just waiting for them to call and tell me to come in for orientation and then they're going to start me working!
