As some of you may have known, I had been having trouble finding work for the past 19 months. No matter where I applied to, no matter what the position or field I just couldn't find anything. Then about three weeks ago I was hired by Circuit City. Even though it was retail sales I was making the best of the situation and actually impressing some people. One manager can't believe I've never sold digital cameras before, to not even mention the fact that I've only used one about 4 times with my selling technique. So in spite of some recent personal issues I was feeling as good as I could for myself as I could right now.
But in between the time that I interviewed for Circuit City and when they hired me, my new favorite RF.net member of all time, Shorty, helped set up an interview for me with a company down on Wall Street for an Administrative assistant opening (Any other member that would like the title of my favorite board member of all time may try to sway my vote by any means possible. And ladies will have a huge advantage). The interview was exactly one week after my father died and I really don't remember what I said during it, but I must have impressed them somehow because this past Tuesday I received the call that I got the Job. It's going to pay me about 60% more then Circuit City was. I was stoked.
Then today I came home from work completely drained because they had me organizing a PDA accessory wall that no one has worked on in at least 5 months that had about 300 different items that were all mixed up. When I check my messages there is a message from a manager from Toys 'R Us Times Square, a place where I worked for 6 weeks during the holidays last year. They are gearing up for the summer and wanted to offer me a job also. Unemployed for the better part of 19 months and now I have three places offering me work. No matter what I'm taking the Wall Street Job, but I also want to try to do a second job on the weekends. The pay difference is negligible since it basically comes down the little more that I'll make at Circuit City per day would just pay for the car fare. But getting all of my DVD's at cost is a nice bonus. But T. R. U. is a much more laid back and fun place to work. I don't know what to do but it's nice to have options for a change.
