OMG!!!

I went to my interview...I still had the mind set that I really wasn't going to get the job...I was messing up on my application spelling things wrong and everything so I just didn't think it looked good. I went in and had my interview with the general manager and he liked me. He said that they were looking for a receptionist position and if I would like that... I told him that I hadn't had a receptionist job before and I really don't know how comfortable I would be with having a job where I am constantly on the phone and I honestly was looking for more of an administrative position. He was so surprised I was being honest with him and said he did have another position for a project coordinator/ admin assistant. He told me alittle about the job and I said I would be interested. He left and told me that he was going to have the HR manager sit with me and ask me a few questions and she came in and asked a few questions and then told me I had the job!!!

WHOA!!! When does that happen... she said that the position was open and she thought I would be great for it so why look any further. Also it makes a big difference to me and I really want to mention how there were still 4 other ppl sitting in the lobby waiting to interview!!! That shows me that they were not just desperate and wanted just anyone, they just really liked me I guess.

I start Monday!!! Oh and I will be making at least $34k a year and they have great benefits and everything. Flexible work schedules and semi-casual dress!!! I couldn't ask for anything better!!!

Broke!

I am not making near as much as I thought I would at Fridays. Its hard when we can only have 4 tables at a time and when your section only consists of 2 tops. I will make 4 dollars a table which is nothing!!!

I got a phone call from a company who I dont know if I applied to or they say my resume online but they want to interview me for an administrative assistant position that starts at 30k-40k a year!!! I am going to the interview this morning but sadly I dont think I will get it. I know its a bad way to think but for some reason there has always been someone better. If this job doesnt work out I am going to look into the airlines over here. Im a few minutes away from the Dulles airport here and there are a ton of jobs. Plus I really want the benefits of traveling for free. I have some future plans for them that I will get into in another blog. =)

Well...wish me luck, I am on my way!

Welcome to Friday's!

So after my very stressful job hunt I wasn't able to find any office jobs that would hire me as soon as I wanted. So I went with my first choice....Friday's.

I went and I was hired on the spot. I finished all my paper work and am training to be a server on Thursday night. YAY! Its probably going to be a little pay cut but hopefully we will manage. All of the restaurant lingo and just the kitchen atmosphere reminds me of my Disney days. The manager really liked that I came from Disney and I think the knowledge that I took from working there will help me out alot in my new job.

I hope I make good tips!

In other news. Patrick and I are going on a major no spending diet! We spend alot of money on food (i.e. going out, ordering out & take out) but NO MORE! I really want to save for our wedding and hopefully we are planning on maybe...buying a town house after our lease expires in April. We will save up for that live in it for a few years and sell it for hopefully more than we bought it for then move to a house. And if we get a town house we will have a yard and I can get a dog! YAY! So I'm just hoping everything will work out.

Bummed!

I didnt get the job.


... my self esteem dropped a few points... Im stressed!
