*Ever (Typing too fast from excitement I suppose)
So since graduating high school, I've been looking for a proper job. The few stories I've told thus far are from my gig as a Student Office Aide (Which I do need to type up the last few stories I have from that).
I've been applying to random places; grocery stores, party stores, craft stores, etc. No responses.
It wasn't until some friends of ours from Michigan were visiting for the week and we decided to check out an aquarium that opened up in the nearest mall... And it was pretty nice for a mall aquarium, I was impressed! Not the best aquarium I've ever been to by a long shot (I've been to the South Carolina aquarium in Charleston and the Georgia aquarium which is the largest in the the world, it had three freaking whale sharks in one tank!!!!) but for the mall, it wasn't bad.
Well, when I asked the lady in the gift shop about job openings, apparently half of their staff is moving away to college and they're having a massive hiring. If I can brandish what little I can consider work experience and my excellent grades in science (Biology in particular) I might have a shot. And the fact that I am a seasoned kiss-up might help as well.
So, I applied for several of their openings and talked with the manager of not only the aquarium, but of the LEGO store next door to it! (I did notice they were owned by the same company...) I applied for 5 different positions; 4 at the aquarium, and 1 at said LEGO store. I kinda took her by surprise. But we got the negotiations worked out and they're going to go ahead and put my application through the reviewing process!
Fingers crossed!
