Getting a job would be hard they said...

A few days ago another job called me asking for an interview. My Mom told me to consider saying yes to the next one that calls because at the first job they told me after the first shift that I was only "training" and if they liked me, they would keep me. So I agreed to do another interview, this time at Smitty's as a hostess. After the interview was done they hired me and I filled out government paperwork, which I did not do yet at the first job. After the paperwork was completed I got a tour of the place.

Today I completed my second training shift and this Sunday I will be working alone, for the first time. My duties include; seating people, clearing tables, setting tables, answering the phone, cleaning the washrooms, and making payments. My favourite part to do is my the payments but I only like it when people pay with credit card not cash. When they pay with cash you have to type stuff into the machine and it gets a bit challenging.

At the local restaurant where I buss my duties include; getting ice, re-stocking, clearing tables, setting tables, cleaning the kitchen, refilling the little dipping sauces, putting away clean dishes, and bringing bar glasses to the bar.

I'm not sure what job I like better but I know at Smitty's its not so busy and stressful.

Along with the other two jobs I also have another job. It's only once or twice a week and I have to pick these two girls up from their bus stop. I am in charge of feeding them lunch and playing with them for the afternoon. I start tomorrow and I think it will be really fun.


I am super lucky to have Pier 1 Imports, Booster Juice, Smitty's. Local Restaurant, Santa Lucia Pizza, Za Bistro, Shoe Warehouse, Starbucks, Bulk Barn have called me and give me a chance to work. My parents told me getting my first job would be hard. But since I got one right away I just thought,
(I thought this photo was appropriate because in Legally Blonde no one thought that Elle could get into Harvard Law School but she did. When questioned about how she got in she responded, "What, like, its hard?" With me, no one thought I could get a job right away but I got four. So I always think, "What, like, its hard?"

But with my great attitude and positive spirit I was able to get four of the nine. I only took two because having four jobs is a little crazy!
