One Down, One to Go

So I had my interview with Sears Portrait Studio today, and it was crazy. Mostly because it didn't feel like an interview, and like they didn't care about my qualifications. The lady who interviewed me was very nice though, even if she wasn't too professional. A friend of some sort actually walked by and the interview was basically put on hold for a moment while they conversed, so I now know that the lady who was interviewing me had a daughter get bit in the face by a dog.

Yeah... not too professional at all. And they do the interview out in the open, so there was no feeling of privacy to discuss things.

Turns out also that you HAVE to start at minimum wage, and through their courses can gain an extra dollar an hour, but that's it. Which... kinda sucks. After that, you are considered for a raise every fiscal year, theirs ending in February. And they only offer part time for now, with enough hours for full time or more between November and Christmas.

There are incentives for what I figure are bonuses in your paycheck during the holiday season, but I need more than that.

They can work around a second job though if need be, since they do it for the students they hire with their schooling...

Yay?

So I don't know. They said to call with a decision either way, meaning if I want the job I can have it, but I'm going to see what the Walmart studio says. I'm either going to end up with two part time jobs out of this, or one full time. It all depends on what Walmart offers me.

And as much as I really don't ethically agree with Walmart... I'm hoping they can give me a really good offer. Because I have bills to pay and I'd really prefer only having to deal with one steady job if I can help it. Let's face it, right now my personal business isn't going to generate me much income. I gotta build that up. So for bills... it's whatever I can find out there in the world.

Ugh... this was so not in my life plan two years ago.
