A New Job
PostPosted: Fri Jun 25, 2010 7:59 pm
Well I've got to be honest (not that its hard to do for me) and share some personal situations:
I've been working at this deli for about five years now. But its has become clearly outdated for me; of all the time working here, I've only got one raise and for whatever reason, hours are hard to come by (I only work one day a week; mainly because of my academic pursuits). Around the summer time, I actually work some extra hours so the pay is fairly decent. But for two years, he talked about extending hours on the day that I work...for one day, we're open an hour longer and that was it...it was back to the same old 3 hour schedule from there on out...the only difference now from then is that I have more duties and I watch the shop while he frequently leaves about an hour early.
It's important to point out that this is a family-run business, and my boss is the owner and he's a Christian who goes to my former church. But nowadays, I just don't get that believer's vibe from him...I asked him for one Saturday off so I could attend my commencement for my Associate's Degree, but apparently he was going to take a day off that same day and acted like I was being inconvenient to him - not once, did he congratulate me. And he wants me to watch shop alone the entire shift while he goes off to get re-married next month (I've only accepted this because it means extra income).
Considering that I'm the only employee not related to him, I feel that staying any longer would do me no good...
Now that that's off my chest I want to point out the positive possibility; there's this new chain restaurant opening up in town this August and hiring does not commence until July...
It has a very good starting wage by my state's standards and flexible hours, I figured it'll more hours guaranteed and I could still attend college.
I enjoy its dining environment a lot and the best part about this location is that its still within walking distance!
I could definitely imagine myself working and making a much more comfortable salary; I could consider it to be a blessing if I can land a job here. So I'm striving to be an earlybird and apply online as soon as the opportunity rises.
I humbly ask all of you to pray that my process of changing jobs may go smoothly, that I may be persistent and patient with my current job and that God's Will will ultimately lead me to a more positive take of my working life, whatever the possibilities may be.
If you have questions about my job or possible job please feel free to PM me and I will greatly appreciate all your prayers, friends.
