Well I went out yesterday for my first day of hunting for a new job. I have a renewed determination to find a job that is Monday through Friday 8-5 but still flexible for our life as needed. I applied at a couple of banks, the City of Grande Praire, a plumbing distribution company and the Quality Hotel. I was able to have a quick sit down interview with the General Manager of the Quality Hotel and we struck it off right away. I will be having a second interview with the Controller of the Hotel but I do think that I will go forward with a good recommendation. My friend Leanne used to work there and knows the GM and is one of my references. I have to say, I have a love for working in the hotel industry. This job would be very similar to the job I used to have at the Holiday Inn and I LOVED that job. I still to this day kick myself that I quit it. But unfortunately the money sucked so I didn’t have a huge choice in the matter.
I would also like the job with the City… pension plan!!! I won’t lie, all of the jobs would be great at this point. I am continuing to apply for a few that are only available to apply for online and I keep checking the job bank daily for new postings. I am determined to have a new job by May. I am going to negotiate in my holidays for the summer because I already have plans made so that I don’t have to change any of them. Reitmans will have to pay out my 2 + weeks of holidays that I have accrued. I think they owe me for 2 weeks plus 3 days. I would like to hang on till the first of May so that I can collect on my 2 float days that come available then but I won’t stay just for that!
Anyhow, I’ll keep you all posted on the job hunt! I can’t wait to start a new chapter for our family!
