Another Interview

I had the final phase of my interview with Caribou Coffee today and I had a lot of fun. I went in this morning and worked behind the counter, even though I had never been trained on anything. I picked it up pretty quick. Each employee working the register or drive-thru has a quota of specific coffee beans they have to sell. The manager was impressed because he said that he had never seen someone in an observation interview actually take a swing at selling the coffee.

I had a great time being a quasi-employee for about an hour and a half and at the end was offered the job. I would love to take it, but I don't think that the schedule can work with my Family Christian Stores schedule. Neither job has set days, since shifts and days vary each week. Both places want me more in the afternoons and evenings, so that doesn't work. So I'm gonna work Family Christian Stores, Bojangles on days off from Family, and try to find a career-oriented job! Seriously, if I am gonna get a dent in this debt, I gotta work more than part-time jobs!

But I do love working at the bookstore. It's totally my thing and I love discussing with customers about the authors they are buying as well as recommending products. If I could, I would work the next year just at these fun people-oriented jobs and then start a career. But alas, student loans call. So, please keep me in prayer that I can find something full-time.

I did pull an 8 hour shift at the bookstore today and I really enjoyed it. My brother and sister-in-law have been great for allowing me a key to their place in Cary so I don't have to wonder where I am gonna go for a few hours in between interviews, appointments, jobs, etc.

Anyhow, those are some updates for now.
