Current Mood:  excited
So, my internet at home has been screwy lately, so I haven't been able to update, check e-mail, etc... This morning it seems to be working, so I'll take this opportunity to share a few exciting things.
First, I won something! At work, the first three months of the year, there is a promotion for Lettuce Entertain You Frequent Diner memberships. For every one a server sells, they get money in the form of a Visa Gift Card. I've always loved this promotion because I find it an easy way to make some extra spending money. I sold 43 this year, and will be using my gift cards to buy an mp3 player, a new bike, and some Wii gear. In addition to that, however, my manager wanted to recognize me for selling more than all the other servers combined, so he also bought me a round-trip plane ticket to anywhere in the continental US on United. !!! He has been telling me for weeks that he had "something special" for me, but I figured it would be a set of cufflinks for my tuxedo, or something else job-related. I was greatly surprised and pleased, of course, when he finally told me what the surprise was... </brag>
And on the theme of work: I found a job prospect in which I am greatly interested. I've been seeing a lot of recruiting posters and billboards for a company called CDW, so I looked them up on-line. Apparently they're in information technology sales, but they're job requirements didn't mention having to know any programming languages or even have a very advanced degree. So I wondered what EXACTLY was the job? Was it telemarketing? Or was it an honest sales job? As luck would have it, one of the instructors at my school actually works for CDW, so I asked him about it. Yes, it is honest sales in IT, and no you don't need a lot of technical smarts. They train pretty intensively, give good benefits, and pay a decent salary to start, plus commission. So I'm interested. I'm having ![[info]](http://l-stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif?v=92) penguinsinabath look over my resume, cuz that's what she does, and then I'm going to have my instructor put in a few good words for me. So by then end of the month I may have a new job!
If that one doesn't work out I also have another prospect, but I'm not as excited about this one. My current restaurant is actually looking for a catering sales assistant, since the lady currently in this position is moving to Hawaii. I'm so jealous... but yeah, it seems like it would be a glorified secretary job. But it would be with people I already know and love, so there would be little awkwardness. It would also be experience in an office setting and I would get to work with a sales team, both of which would only help my resume. And I would get to STOP waiting tables, which is the main reason I'm looking for a new job to begin with.
So yeah. That's my life right now. |
