Well it seems to be going around. I've had to spend the last 2 weeks looking for a new job. I was given a choice from my employer (Wendy's) to either take demotion to crew at $8.00 an hour or quit. I almost felt that I should have taken the demotion because the job market is not that secure here in middle of nowhere NE but I also felt like they were insulting me a little. Now here's the interesting part. I went ahead and applied at McDonald's here in town for a manger position and FAILED the assessment test. We're not talking just the basic can you be a manager test but the whole thing. They shouldn't even call me for an interview for crew failed here. I am still boggled by the whole thing because I have worked management in fast food for about 10 years.....
Well onto happier notes. I've been interviewing with Centurylink for a Data Tech position with them and I'm hopeful in getting the position. Best of all its work from home, no commute:banana::D!! I moved my desk and computer down to the basement so hopefully that isn't a wasted effort. I had to go in for drug testing today and had to fill out some paperwork for security checks because they couldn't verify that I worked at Wendy's of Gering....I've been there for 3 years go fig. I do hope I get this, I'm trying to not get my hopes up to high but I figure places like Centurylink wouldn't pay for drug testing and stuff if they weren't seriously considering you for a position right? The position pays $11.00 an hour ($1.00 more then I made at Wendy's) and they said they are having huge call volumes right now so when I mentioned overtime they were like yeah we've been giving that out like crazy lately. Full benefits to start and discounts for Centurylink services. So I'm keeping those fingers crossed.
I've got applications still out there and if worse comes to worse McDonald's said I could go there at $8.50 an hour and work my way up again:facepalm:. Well I felt like I needed to get a little steam blown off and vent. Wish me luck and I wish anybody else out there looking luck too.
