So here i sit at work on my lunch break.
So last time I informed you, i was possibly getting a job at Victoria's Secret. I want to first thank you guys who left me comments in support of my decision to work there. That was cool cuz it WAS a good idea. But sadly, that all it turned out to be. I went in for an interview, looked real spiffy, got some excellent feedback from Alicia (store manager), and she even gave me a guide to working there and an extension to the corporate office to further the process along a bit. Unfortunately when i called back 4 days later like i was instructed to, Alicia told me that she was sorry but they filled the position and she had to go. I didn't have any hard feelings. I figure i can always try again at another location, preferabbly up north.
So i loitered around the house for about 2 weeks then went to this employment agency called TeamOne. To make a long story short, I was there for 5½ hours, and i took a total of 5 tests, one being a comprehensive math test. The agent there came out of his office into the waiting room where i was beaming from ear to ear, and said "I haven't seen a 100% in a very long time". Haha, i gotta admit, the test was pretty easy. probably used the math skills i learned up until the 10th grade. No Trig, Stats, nothing. So he then told me that he was gonna (in the lingo of business preofessionals) "throw my resume out there and see who the hell bites" Hehehe, he told me about this job working at a factory in Compton (i know, i dont like it either). The hours were 6am to 2:30pm making 8.75/hour. I did thsat miserable work for about 3½ days when Todd my agent called to inform me that he had found for a better position and instructed me to leave right away. I was so happy to comply.
And that brings us around to today. I now work at the Corporate Headquarters for Skechers U.S.A. in Manhattan Beach! I make $11/hour and i mostly sit on my ass. I get my own PDA and workstation to work on recieving and shipping packages. I also handle all the international mail and parcels and i get to drive the company van wheneveer i want. Holy shit, its the best job i've ever had! In fact i'm on my hour long lunch break right now (more like an hour and half) and when i get back to work and i just have make some fed-ex labels to send to china, japan, and italy, then I'm pretty much done for the day. My supervisor is chill and loves to curse and there is no drug policy. Am I in corporate heaven? I think so.
Till next time,
