Job Hunt ENDS!
The job hunt has ended. I worked my last shift at my old job. I start my new job on Monday.
I got the call offering me the job on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas!!!!
So how did I get this job? It wasn't a job that I saw posted anywhere, mind you I was applying for everything.
The girl who was my manager when I was assistant manager at the Athelete's Foot before our location closed called me out of the blue. Are you still working at xyz? Is it still part-time? I was like WHERE ARE YOU? So she tells me where she was working and tells me the asst mgr at one of the company's other locations is moving out of state and they need someone to hire.
So I go interview with the mgr at that location. Unfortunately the district manager is out due to a death in the family... sighs... so I sit and wait....
so one day I am at work at xyz and this gal comes in my store... she tells me that the girl who interviewed me really liked me and was going to ask the dm to hire me.
So then I interviewed with the DM. He told me that he would be talking to the mgr on the 23 and she would call to let me know.
Shortly there after the gal I used to work with calls me... the DM really liked you.
Looked good, felt good. Then it was time to wait again.
So I got home from last minute shopping on the 24th and the answering machine was blinking!!! WHOO HOOO !
I did my new-hire paperwork.
Gave my notice at the old job, finished the present schedule.
Start the new job on Monday!!!
I got the job I was at the last 11 months the same way... not the same gal... someone who was at Corp from Athlete's Foot called me and asked me to go apply there.
It is kind of a nice feeling... Having people think of you and looking for you when they need employees.
Goes to show sometimes it is not what you know but who you know.
