Job Hunt

WOW!  I have been actively applying and putting in applications everywhere I see a sign for now hiring. I have, since then, set up 4 interviews! I have one tomorrow at Belk, and then another one on Wednesday for this tea place called Teavana. I'm really hoping the one tomorrow at Belk goes really well and maybe they will hire me on the spot, so I can start working right away. If, for whatever reason, it doesn't end up going well, I hope the Teavana one does. Both of these places are in the mall and I like the atmosphere of working there. You are busy most of the time, but not so much that you won't have some down time from time to time. It's where I have experience working and I feel comfortable working in that type of an environment...not to mention it would be the easiest transfer if Nathan and I move somewhere, I mean there are Belk stores everywhere, so that would easy enough to move on with. Also, it's probably the job that would offer me the most hours and highest rate of pay. I'm hoping to be able to acquire at least 8 dollars an hour if 10 is just to much. I also would love to have a full time position, but idk how likely that would be, and honestly starting off part time is probably the best considering Jayden is here and I would need to watch him when I wasn't working. That being said, my mom is willing to help out and watch him on days I would have to work. I'm so lucky she is so great and will do this for us. Not many people would, and it really helps out b/c then I don't have to try and find a babysitter or other form of childcare when I would be working...not to mention she will do it for free and I won't have to worry about losing some of my pay check each time for her services...that being said, I would of course treat her to lunch or dinner to as her payment for helping me out so much and watching Jayden. :-)     My other two interviews were both in Birkdale. One was for a bridal salon, and the other was for a local boutique. The bridal salon interview, in my opinion, didn't go to well, so I'm not really holding my breath for that one. The local boutique, Bevello, went alright..but I'm not sure it's the best fit for me. However, if they do call and offer me the position, I won't turn them down b/c I really do need a job. That being said, if I do get the offer from Belk, I will accept theirs without hesitation, b/c I think, ideally, it's the most practical one for me as of right now. But I suppose only time will tell, and I'm still continuing to put out applications to various places just in case, for whatever reason, none of these end up panning out. Though wouldn't it be funny if I was offered all 4 jobs?! wow! That would be nuts! IDK what I would do. I might accept 2 and work at them both part time, and go from there. That would seem like an okay idea. :-)  but, like I said, only time will tell. But anyways, I'm really excited about this and I can't wait to see how my interview will go tomorrow. Wish me luck!
