I guess I have a job. I went in for a same-day interview on Thursday at Dollar General. Kathy (the person who interviewed me) said they would be going over the applications for the next couple of days. Three hours later, I get a call from her, asking me to come in the next day to fill out an employment package. I was shocked at first. But I went ( Read more... )

I'm so happy. I got to hear my baby's heartbeat on Saturday! I felt the kick for the first time two weeks ago. Things are going great with the baby, too. Heartrate is up at 140 bpm. I can't wait for the baby to be born. Only 17 more weeks ( Read more... )

So... I'm still looking for a job. Don't know where I'm going to find one, but I know that I need one soon. Oh well. I've been looking everywhere, and no one has hired me yet. That saddens me. Used to be I could get a job with no problem. But that was a few years back. Everyone is hiring people just right out of college or high school because they' ( Read more... )

Today, I have an interview with a company whose name I do not know. It's in Little Rock, and apparently, what I would be doing is "selling" vacation packages to existing customers. However, there are no cold calls, and there's a base pay. I don't know if I'll accept the job if I'm hired. I'm going to tell her that I need to talk to my wife about it ( Read more... )

I'm quitting my job at IMG International. Wife wants me to, and it's a good decision, based on the fact that the car is breaking down and I'm spending more in gas and lunches than I'm actually making. Also, it's taking time away from her. I get to see her maybe one hour a day. Other than that, we're both sleeping ( Read more... )

I will be gone all next week on a business trip, where I intend on making about $2500. It will be going up to Northwestern Arkansas (Fayetteville/Bentonville). It's gonna be fun, cramped up in a hotel room with three other guys. *shudder* Not that I'm complaining, mind you. I love my job. Just wanted to update you guys. :)

Yesterday was my sister-in-law's graduation from GED. I'm very proud of her! I also got to meet some more of my in-laws: Sara, Grandma (even though I met her once before anyway), Pat, Fred, Bradley (I met him before, too) and a couple of friends: Ms. A and Amber ( Read more... )

Yesterday, I went to the job shadowing interview. Found out more what the company does - marketing for Fortune 500 companies. I won't go much into detail about it - but I will say this: The pay is great. For the first week of training, I get about $400 to $600. Then four to six weeks after that, I get $600 to $800 a week, then the next level after ( Read more... )

I applied to another company: IMG International. Today, I went for the first round interview. Zach (owner of the company and my interviewer) informed me that he started the company in St. Louis in February 2006, then took five people down to Dallas in April. There, the company increased from five people to seventy people in the course of a year. ( Read more... )
