So today was a very good day. This morning i woke up to a phone call asking if i was able to come in for an interview. :D well i did the interview which lasted all of 10 minutes and then as the potential employer escorted me out of her office, during that time I stopped her and thanked her for the opportunity of a interview and firmly reached out to shake her hand. She then said " you know what, are you able to come back later today?". It was at that point i knew i landed the job with a simple hand shake and a few good words. The second interview was a breeze, we were cracking jokes and having a good time all while being firm about what i will be doing on my job.

After all the joking and the talking was done she asked if i would join their family business and i was just so excited. At that point in my mind i was like "yesssssssss". I successfully landed my first job :D I didnt feel awkward at all throughout the interviews because the boss was very open minded and chill about the whole thing. She asked when i can start and so she recommended tomorrow.

My firs job isnt necessarily a profession by any means lol, but it beats flipping patties at a food joint or slaving away for peanuts at a walmart. I will be building furniture in the warehouse that is ordered and laying out the displays on which the floor workers will be selling their furniture. eventually i may move in to other ranks in the business if i play my cards right but for now im just so happy i got my first job. I have been applying for months and honestly it sucks. I give props to all you people viciously searching the job markets to get work. it isnt easy at all.

With all this being said, I may be able to start offering you guys a few more giveaways here and there cause ill be getting a paycheck but my main priority is a vehicle and furthering my college or going into the military. When i am able to i would gladly love to contribute to the steam gifts community because this place is like a second family to me. :D

For all you that have read this long rant, i thank you and to celebrate i will do a giveaway for the awesome community. The key will be given out after i get off tomorrow from work so i may do a follow up of how my first day went

I know its not much but its a chance for those who dont own it yet. Sweet Lilly Dreams


Edit: today was a lot more difficult than i had expected. there was a lot of extremely heavy lifting from clocks to oak beds to large glass cabinets and basically anything else you can think of for furniture . Not only is there building furniture, but i must unload the trucks when a load comes in. I must also rotate stock on the main selling floor and if something is bought either help move it to the persons vehicle and or move it up to the attic of the shop so that people may pick it up later. there are so many numbers i must remember so that the furniture does not get mixed in with the stuff that hasn't sold. For a first job it surly is gonna give me a run for my money lol. but im still gonna work my butt off just like i was hired to do.

The only downside to today was i was told to leave 1 and a half hours early. I hope to god it wasnt cause i did something wrong. No one told me i did any wrong but i just assumed so. Hopefully they dont do the same thing tomorrow to me. then i will know something is wrong

Wonderful stuff. I'm happy for you. When I left university, I couldn't find a job at all. However, over the years you build up more confidence in yourself as someone who is capable of doing a job. In my first job, (taking calls in an office) I didn't know what to do most of the time, let alone what was expected of me in terms of work etiquette! Now I'm a teacher and it feels like the right calling in life.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy your first day at work and that you get along with your employers. It looks like they trust you to do the right job! :)

After years of work experience, I can tell there are bitter people on workplaces. Watch out of those guys, they'll stab your back.

Nice going, though, for your first job. I still remember that happy feeling when I got accepted into a job of my dream.

Does your contract entail you marrying her daughter to join the family to be part of the business? Your whole life could be set, better read the contract carefully.

It took you several months of applying before you got hired? Sounds about right. The job market here in my area sucks so bad. I've had a job for awhile but I'm trying to find an additional or replacement job since this one is screwing me over, but it's not working out so far. Hopefully that changes when I get my degree next month.
