I decided after 7 years to not return to my job this year. I worked on the college campus for the past 7 years in Dining Services and after a few semesters of the boss continually screwing me over as to where I want to work and just a general lack of respect from her, I am fed up and didn't return. I worked as a student employee at first in the coffee shop, then was moved up to the Asian place which I hated. But instead of moving me back down when I asked, she kept hiring new people and telling me there was no room. This semester was the last straw because I turned in my availability before the start of the semester, called and left messages and slipped a note under her door and she never once called me back or put me on the schedule. I don't know what I ever did to deserve that treatment, we got along so well. I was one of the few people who actually liked her. She is known to treat the employees like crap and can be a very nasty lady. But she would come to my craft shows and give me old cds of hers, even ask for advice with cat problems. I never once failed to show up for my shift, I rarely came in late and for 7 years I called off maybe 5 times. I also was trusted with the money and safe room bc I was one of the few employees whose drawer was always accurate. My point being I was basically a model employee for 7 years. People call off and fail to show up for work ALL THE TIME, they also steal and no one ever really works there more then a year or two, let alone 7.
ANYWAYS, that is not the point of this posting... just had to vent!
I interviewed for a job at Pooch Palace which is a doggy daycare. I have the job, the owner unofficially told me I do
But I will get an official call from the full timer this week. She said I sounded like a great addition and also my knowledge was way above the other people who applied so that was good. I had the second interview Monday and that lady just couldn't get over how much I was like her. She said we were like twins!
AND I have an interview at the Humane Society of Geauga County/Rescue Village tomorrow, which I hear is a wonderful place, and a no time limit facility. I applied via email and 2 days later they called ME! I didn't even have to follow up or anything. That is a great sign! Plus I am overly qualified for it. I am also NOT A BIT nervous for the interview, nor was I at Pooch Palace. That is how I know that the job is meant to be. I usually have very bad anxiety. When I interviewed for graphic design positions when I was in school for that, I would get SO nervous and upset I would cry or throw up. But anyways, I just wanted to share the good news. I am SO excited to have an animal care job again. I am going to be a part timer at both places, 20 hours each so its perfect. I always had a problem with full time jobs. Just the repetition. But if I end up really liking one place over the other I may wean myself off one. For now it's perfect.
So there is really no point to this thread. I couldn't resist doing a little bragging on my awesome jobs I will be starting. I am SO excited. So yeah, maybe a little advice on what to wear to an interview at a rescue shelter? i don't need to dress up all nice but I can't go in there in jeans either. I never know what to wear!
