New Job
I work at the BreakZONE now! In December I was laid off from my job with CPE. Ever since then I've been trying to find a part time job to have some sort of income again. I had zero luck. No one was hiring, and I had no idea what to do. I kept checking jobs.vt.edu to see if anything was up that I could possibly do with my background (as in...my 5 years at the same place...can I do something similar to that since that's what I know?!). Then I spot an opening for a Recreation Assistant for BreakZONE. I read the description, and I knew I could do it. Besides, I figured it would give me some customer service experience for when I pursue a degree in Hospitality and want to get a job in some sort of customer service aspect. So it's not a huge resume builder, but it's a job right now and income, and I think will give me good experience for dealing with different kinds of people!
Anyway, I've had a bunch of shifts now, I know...for the most part...how to fix bowling machines now, and I have cash register experience and dealing with cash, credit cards, etc. It's a new environment than my previous desk job. However, I do miss having my own little space. And my trolls. :)
I do hope that my time with CPE isn't over. That I could possibly work there again in a more active roll than my student job. Time will tell what the future holds!
For now, I'm also looking toward the future and finding a full time job for when I graduate. There is one I'm going to apply for right now with Virginia Tech. I'm not sure if they'll appreciate my fresh out of college state, but in my opinion, I think being right out of college makes me right for the job. More on that later. :)
Happy Easter!
