Guess I'm looking for a seasonal job
| Mon, 10-11-2004 - 12:25pm |
I went to my interview Friday. Things are looking good but the hire date isn't until Jan 3 because of the holidays and company budget cuts. So it looks like if we want extra money I need to find a seasonal job. Looks like I will need soemthing during the day time since Brandon works until 7 and we don't have childcare that late. Maybe I can work at mailboxes etc. They send packages and are open during the day time.... hmmm.. Something else to look into.

We don't have kids, but I need to find something outside of DH's normal hours (he's home at 4 pm; in at 7 am or so)...What kind of work would this be for? (I tend to gravitate to non-profit, but am trying to keep an open mind)...

I worked at an answering service for a few years! Normally they would welcome someone like me that left on good terms back with open arms especially with all of my experience (I was a shift supervisor) but they have lost a bunch of accounts. They used to hire seasonally during the winter because of all of the doctor offices and propane companies but they have lost the propane companies and have already had to let people go because of it... Hours are few and far between right now. :(
Our next door neighbor has offered to help keep DeLainey if I do have to work late or something. I guess we will see how that goes? And if I need her or not.
I guess I just need something to keep me busy! I am really bored sitting at home. My daughter has gotten very very independent and I need "human adult" interaction! I would like to start snowflaking away too!
I guess I'll post an update when I know something tomorrow. Brandon is off tomorrow and I can actually go collect applications and turn them in.

I am applying at a year-round Christmas shop that needs extra holiday help. I figure it might help put me in the holiday mood :) I am also pretty sure a specialty gift shop that I used to manage would throw a few hours my way.
Normally I wouldn't be thinking retail, but I am like you--I could use the social interaction, and I like the idea of hopping right in and getting to work. I went to a temp agency last week and was very disappointed. I will check out the others, but I was not impressed with what this one had to offer.
Good luck with your search!
