The Quest For Employment- Day 6/7


Yesterday was my long class day (3:45 – 10:00) and also my girlfriend’s of campus lunch day, so I was in Lancaster from about Noon to 10:00, this still left me some time in the morning to fill out an application to Best Buy online, and to continue working on my resume. Today I took a little extra time to sleep in, got up and read some devotional materials on AFLC.org/college, specifically a newsletter called “Convergence” which my sister is editor for. I highly recommend. Today I am going to inquire about a job at Oak West Footwear in the mall as well as pick up applications for I-Hop and Denny’s. Wish me luck!

CONTINUED! – Today I applied for a front desk job at a hotel in Palmdale online, applied to Oak West Footwear, picked up applications from Denny’s and Bath And Body Works, as well as Apple-bee’s where I need to apply in November. I also found out I am working tomorrow in Pasadena, (I thought I was working next Saturday). Overall that is a good thing because the Pasadena Convention Center has been getting more business which means I should get more consistent work, and much needed income.

The Quest For Employment- Day 5


Turned in applications to Chili’s today, not hiring at the moment… need to check back closer to the holiday season. Red Robin, need to try again closer to November. Talked to the manager at BJ’s, they’re fully staffed… but might take on a couple near Christmas time. Red Lobster just hired someone, but I am to call and check with a manager next week. I also need to pick up an application from Famous Daves on Friday. So goes the job search. I just got my final check from my previous job, $489, I’ll have to try and stretch that as long as possible, I don’t work in Pasadena until next Saturday. bleh…money. I’ll be back at the searching tomorrow, I’m going to include some seasonal retail jobs in my search… I hear Old Navy, and Wal-Mart are looking to hire… as well as Best Buy. Wish me luck!
