Job Search - Update

I’ve been working at a large retail store for almost two years. I don’t want to get in trouble, so I’m not going to say which one. I’m trained in 8 different areas of the store, but have been working in the Pizza Hut express primarily as of late. I’m looking for another job because the hours I’m getting are not paying the bills.

I applied at a gas station a block away from my home on Monday and the interview went great. The manager was ready to hire me, and said I’d start that night. When the interview was over, he looked over my application one last time and said “This might be a problem”. The problem was that I’m 18, and the store sells liquor, which you have to be 21 to sell. Damnit.

Yesterday I drove around and picked up 15 different job applications for various places. I applied at Subway, Quiznos, Pizza Hut, Blackjack Pizza, Starbucks, and several different gas stations. I even applied at a shoe store in a moment of desperation. I filled them out last night and handed them all in today. I hope one pans out.

Just a funny side note, the Quiznos application has the url of Socrates.com on the bottom of the application. Socrates is a large legal form company similar to LegalZoom. The funny thing is that they had 4 w’s in the web address. You’d think they’d catch that before mailing out mass amounts of applications.

Wish me luck in my job search! If you work for a company in Colorado and they’re hiring, please send me a message from the sidebar.
