I didn't want to say anything until I had gotten the job because I didn't want to jinx it. I applied for a job at the Shopko Optical center here in Helena. I know a few of the opticians that work there and one of them, Melissa, told me about a position opening up. At first I wasn't really interested but when Home Depot continued to cut my hours I decided to at least apply. I didn't think the cut hours would be an ongoing thing but so far it has been. Unlike some other jobs I've looked into around town this one actually starts out at a pretty decent wage which is another selling point for me.
I was nervous for the interview because I haven't had to do one in so long. I felt like it had gone well and it seemed like the manager had responded well to my answers; so I was feeling pretty good about my chances. She liked the fact that I had taken some medical based classes in school such as Medical Terminology. Then I found out it was only between me and one other applicant so I was feeling even more confident.
I was so excited when I got the call saying I got the job Matt and I jumped and danced around the kitchen for a while singing, "I got a job! J-O-B!" The manager is still trying to work out a time with the main store for me to do my orientation and then I can start training!
Congrats on the new job!! Maybe I will bring the kids there for their eye exams so we can see you.
