I.T. to Teacher

Today I went out with the goal of getting a job. I had a number of places on my list to try. Pet stores, book stores, sporting goods stores.... The first place I went was PetSmart. I talked to the manager and found out I wouldn't be in town for the hiring seminar every other Sunday. After talking about my experience the manager was very nice and gave me an application anyway. I filled it out and have an interview on Sunday. If I get the job I'll be a daytime cashier. One funny question I was asked was if I am ok handling bugs and lizards. That's fine by me.

When I was telling the manager about my recent IT experience and how I was looking for a change (thanks to Amy for that phraseology) she commented that it's more fun on this side of the business than on the IT side. I quickly came up with the comment that I was looking to work with people more than computers. Internally I was pumping my fists for coming up with that gem of a comment (well, I think it's a gem).

I'll let you know how the interview goes.
