Just curious thats all.  Was surprised you knew about it since they're really only been looking for a day and thought you just heard it from 42, who I told about the job.


Nope, it's a relief society thing.  Small world.

So anyone want a job working night audits? It's a good job, other than my wacked-out boss. But it's a great summer job.


I'm assuming they're not looking for a girl, right?  Cause I need a job, but I doubt that would work...

well, technically they can't descriminate.

there is no reason a woman couldn't do the job.

you could always apply and I could recommend you.

You would also need a way to get to work. (The hotel I believe is at least a mile away from a bus stop and even then, no bus would be available late enough to take you to or from work).

Well my opinion of the unemployement system has gone up.  I got a letter to call my case worker person and he apologized and explained that if I can get sento to show paperwork that I worked for at least 20 weeks straight and earned at least $125 per week then I can qualify, AND they'll back pay me for the weeks I didn't work even if I get a job tomorrow.

I just redid my resume, with Stacer's help. Trying to emphasize leadership and management skills.

Hopefully it will get me a job that I want at UVSC. Course I'd take almost anything that is salary and paying more than I make now.

In case anyone is curious, the decision was to go for the customer service job closer by.  I start monday.  I feel good about it, but hey maybe that's just being happier to be less stressed.   ;)
