Jobs jobs jobs
Can I say, I'm slightly frustrated. Jobs. This week has been crazy. Monday, went to two job interviews- first one was for door knocking to give people power boards. It's a fairly good deal- $14 bucks or so per power board you give to each household- 4 being the maximum you can give. They have to have things connected to the tv before you can give one out though. But yes, you could make up to 1000 or more per week if you got really good at it.
The job interview after that, I arrived just on time, but considered it late cos I was running late from the other interview cos the guy didn't turn up till half an hour later. But yes anyway, I arrived at the company, and had an interview with this lady called Lee- I wasn't prepared. >.> I didn't know anything about the company or what they do... I only applied cos my friend told me to pass my resume onto one of her friends who work there... I should have asked what the name of the company was XD But yes I didn't.. not that it mattered cos I still got to attend training, which I did today. But just as I was finishing up my interview, someone was calling. I later found out it was from a place called Roll'd, a vietnamese restaurant, which I also applied for. Sighhh. And I received a text from gumtree that I had been approved for some other job- administrative assistant at some place. And I also got another call the next day from someone, but before I could let them speak, I declined straight out because I already had two training sessions to go to this week.
Except.. Well I ended up canceling the door knocking one, because the other job (a marketing researcher job btw) would involve shifts that would probably clash with it, and the door knocking job requires you to do 3-4 hrs per day I think? So it would have been a bit hard to figure out how to work the times in together... I think.. I hope the job I chose would be better in the long run. The pay is pretty good- $20.05 as a trainee, which you can only do 50 hrs max before you move onto standard rate, which is $24 something. I guess it's more of just the hours you get to work.. the only reason why they're hiring is because they have a big project coming up.
But oh god the training. So tiring. It wasn't so much what we did, but more of what we had to listen to. The guy talked SO MUCH. That's skills. He had to, so he couldn't help it. But wow. There's quite a bit of info as well, I have to go over a few booklets, and hopefully I'll have everything down by next week when I go back. T___T I'm a bit worried though, theory seems fine I guess, but practical.. I might just freak out and not know what to do. I don't even really like talking on the phone because I find it hard to hear people sometimes... Gulp.
Well hopefully it should be fine, just follow the script and everything should be fine... But I can't wait till I move on and get a full time job in design somehow. Something I'm more familiar with. How I long for it T_T As long as I don't get stuck in this job for the rest of my life, that'll be good ^^;
