I called one hotel for a housecleaning
job and a bigger inn/resort for a receiving position and they both called me
back for interviews. Boy was I surprised. My first impulse was to say no thank
you, but how could I flake out like that? Also, it would be closing the door on
those opportunities, and like my friend JZ once said, never turn down a job you
haven’t been offered.
I have mixed feelings on the whole
process, because I’m a big believer that if you need income, you do what you
have to do, and you shouldn’t turn your nose up at a job when it means
employment. On the other hand, is it worth drastically altering your lifestyle
for what is really not that much money? Maybe not yet, so I had to address the
situation. The situation was complicated by the fact that I didn’t want to completely
close the door, so I couldn’t just ignore them and walk away. This is also a
bad way to live your life. Believe me, I’d done my fair share of it as a
teenager.
Anyway, things have quieted down,
I am not going to pursue a new job just yet. One might say that I initiated
things a bit prematurely, and I regret taking up their time, but that’s the
process of looking for employees, right? I also tried to end things on a
responsible note by informing them of my decision, when in fact I could have
just let things fizzle out, thereby closing any doors I may have open.
Hopefully, I won’t have to re-open
them, but only time will tell. Until then, thanks for reading, and thanks to bianks for the pic.
