I got a Job!
12 years ago
I'm not good with these blog things. I meant to post this news waaaaay back when I first got it, but oh well!
I got a job! :D I didn't think I would this summer, since out of all my (many, many, maaaany) resumes, I only got called for one interview at a local pizza place just a 15 minute walk from where I live. The interview went pretty badly in my opinion. The owner cut me off a few times and didn't seem to like me or the situation. Maybe he was just having a bad day. Basically the interview beelined into why I've never had a job before at my age, and I had to reveal my surgery, and then try to convince him I was fully healed and able to work. I don't feel like I convinced him...
... but I must have, because I got the job! I was told I'd be contacted by the following Monday after the interview, but it wasn't until the Saturday after that I was called up. Today is my first shift, and I'm nervous as all hell. I don't know what to expect, and since it's a "ma and pa" place, no one can really give me any advice because everywhere is different. Since I start on a Friday evening, I'm a bit worried that my "training" might be a trial by fire, where I'm thrown into the kitchen without much direction because of the Friday bustle. But I guess we'll see.
I'm really happy to have this job, my family has been ordering pizza from this place since I was 12 or younger. I've always wanted to know how they made their pizzas! Everyone in my family is also super stoked. My dad in particular is looking forward to discounted/free pizza, and my folks have already made me make some pizza's at home for supper once, and my dad was bugging me to do it again a day later (even though we had lots leftover).
I'm hoping that the owner will like me. I might be able to get a summer job there every year while I'm in school, and maybe pick up a shift or two while in college. But we'll see.

my first job was at Shakey's Pizza Restaurant, which was known in the past for giving pizza awards for free pizza at my former Elementary. I learned how they did their pizzas and actually perfected their technique so it would last longer and taste like 2 different types of dough merged into one. My wisdom to you for this job: Do as you are trained and find perfection in their mistakes, but keep that perfection your secret.
