Work, work, work....

So, I've been here in Utah a few weeks now and I still don't have a job. I feel like all I do is apply online or in person and no one wants me. Boo hoo!!

BUT...

I know that there is a plan for everything and that I should be a little more patient. So I can do that. I think I'll be ok, at least for now.

Here's the funny thing though.

I was looking on the internet as usual for different things and when I went to check my email once last week, Hotmail had one of their many articles about jobs. This particular one was about if your job can withstand a recession: top 10 jobs for being in demand (or something like that). I was curious so I opened it up and the list contained several jobs, like; teacher, nurse, computer guy, blah, blah and one of the last ones was for a flight attendant. That interested me, so I thought "why not?"

I went to the American Airlines website and they weren't hiring for Flight Attendant's so I went to Delta. They were hiring and had an online posting to fill out, which I did. At the end of that little posting summary it said to call a recruiter within the next 15 minutes, which I did. It was kind of exciting. I talked to the recruiter and he asked me several questions like, "if you were on the plane and there was a crying baby and other passengers were starting to complain, what would you do?" I answered his questions and kept thinking that this was crazy. At the end of his questions he told me congratulations and said that the next step in the process was to fill out an online questionaire and to fill out the employment application. I was still kind of floored but I filled out both of the things he needed and at the end of them it said that the next step was for a recruiter to contact me with the next step.

So that's where I've been since Friday. I looked all over the internet to get more information and see how everything works and it seems to be a process.

1. Fill out the online job posting - done
2. Do a pre-screening phone interview with recruiter - done
3. Fill our assessment and job ap online - done
4. Have a phone interview with recruiter - done (this morning, because I'm not patient, hehe)
5. Interview in person at the Training Facility in Atlanta, GA - going to do, waiting for info (it pays to not be patient, hehehehehe)
6. Attend 6 weeks of Flight Attendant Training in Atlanta - waiting, (if I pass the interview that is, but why wouldn't I....right??)
7. Graduate and get a home base and start working

I think I'm doing pretty good so far. I'm on #5. I did find that they have several bases to be working from; New York, Atlanta, Boston, Cincinnati, Los Angeles, Orlando and Salt Lake City!! I don't know where I would be based from and since I would be the low-man-on-the-totem-pole I guess we'll just see. But I'm thinking this could be fun. I could go all over the place. Meet lots of crazy people. Come visit my peeps in the Big D. And best of all.....meet my friends in crazy places for fun at a good price!!!! WOOO HOOO!!!!!!!

So...wish me luck. I'll let you know when I'm going to Atlanta. The recruiter today said I would be contacted within the next two weeks for Atlanta, scheduling and flights and so on.

BUT...as far as right now. I still need a job. I think I'm going to just do my very last resort and go to Chili's or Olive Garden or something and see if they'll hire me part time.

I HATE FINDING A NEW JOB!!!!!!

Smoochies!!
Love you and miss you more.......
