on the hunt for jobs..

So I applied to Mcd and Jo-Anns recently and both got back to me!
At Mcd I think the interview went well except for the fact that I didn't have my social security card on me and I think I have to apply for a new one since I'm not really living at home anymore and it takes an hour just to go back. They asked me questions on my work experience and wanted to mainly know if I had fast food experience. They also asked how I would deal with rude customers and why I wanted to work at Mcd. I know they asked the girl before me if she had ever dealt with any difficult situations. They question that kind of caught me off guard was "If I was a customer and I had just walked in, how would you greet me?" I don't know why but immediately I thought about taking her order but I remember that every fast food usually says "hello, welcome to ______" so I went with that and she smiled and said great! :) haha
At Jo-Anns, they asked me more about my job experience in retail. They asked me if I had ever made a mistake and owned up to it and what exactly I did. They wanted to know if I saw a coworker being rude, how would I deal with the situation. Also they asked why I wanted to work at Jo-Anns. I'm not sure if this is all Jo-Anns but the one I applied to said everyone that worked there is only part-time except for managers. Also, since I applied as seasonal, they told me if I worked hard enough and they see me try, then I may get to continue working there.

Ugh I just think as a rule of thumb, if you know you're going to be needing a job soon, apply around 2-3 weeks in advanced. I applied to Jo-Anns like 2 weeks ago and they finally got back to me. For Mcd they only took 2 days but I think they had already planned days to interview potential candidates and wanted to squeeze me in. Also, make sure to have your social security card on you because for Mcd, they couldn't continue with me until they had that card so I have to go back this Saturday. :(

go fund me

I made a gofundme account to see if I can raise some money for my college tuition. I'm not sure if you know but I recently had a talk with my dad about college financial matters and things did not go well. I don't really want to get into it but I did make a post about it earlier. I realize it may make me sound spoiled or whatnot but I feel that you need to understand the dynamic between me and my father. Things obviously are not good between us although I really wish they were. Who doesn't want a good bond with their dad esp when you're a girl? Of course I'd love to be daddy's little girl and get his love but I honestly don't get any of that. I'm scared of having even short little conversations with him because I might say the wrong thing and he might get upset. I can't even have a normal conversation with him without my blood pressure rising and always being on the edge around him. It doesn't help that my parents haven't really talked to each other in probably 5 ish years and they live in the same house... There was tension in my house but now, it's almost normal. Of course I know it's not normal and I don't want to live in a house like that which is why I wanted to go off to college as well but I can't do anything about that now. Right now, I am currently looking for a job so I can save money and go to college later.. Anyways, you're welcome to donate if you want and if you don't want you can help share that link! :)
Through this I will always stay positive and optimistic!
