I had a job interview today. For those of you who didn't know I was looking for a new job, I am. The work environment at Complete Music has become almost unbearable, and since Floyd started cutting back my hours, he's practically forcing me to look for something else. I need the money to invest in photography equipment for my new potential business, plus I am way behind on my doll expenditures (not to mention that I'm still trying to complete our china collection!). Basically even though Nathan's job covers all of our bills, I still have financial requirements that Complete Music is just not meeting.
So back to this job interview I had today. It went well. It was really simple, the job seems really easy, and I think she will offer me the job. However, I don't think I want it. It is a set shift: Thurs-Sat from 8 a.m. - 9 p.m. Days off are not permitted. Ick. There are a few problems with this. First: holidays. We do not get holidays off. I just spent a year arranging holidays with my family, and I don't think they would be very understanding if suddenly I was unavailable on major holidays. Second: Saturdays. How can I start a photography business if I have to work a 13 hour day on Saturdays? So long weddings, so long events. Screw that. Also, based on the half hour or so that I spent in their office, I don't think the work environment or team dynamic is much different from what I'm trying to escape from at Complete Music. Guess I'll just keep applying elsewhere.
