I think you are all sensing a theme as you read these entries… my life revolves around job hunting these days; printing resumes, searching online, hoofing around town dropping off applications, etc. Today was more of the same, only with a bit of a twist. I headed off the island. Oh yes, that’s right… I hit up the outer boroughs. I went to the Bronx. Alone. Like a total rockstar, I got the Northbound 1 train and got off at 225th street (conveniently where Target is located). I had seen an Applebees in the strip when Ini and I had gone to Target a couple weeks ago and I figured I would give them a shot and see if they wanted my fabulousness waiting tables for them. They didn’t. But, the manager was kind enough to give me some tips on two new Applebees that are being built and that he thinks might still be hiring. I will definitely be checking those out.
While I was up in the area, I stopped at the Lane Bryant that’s up there because, frankly, I am sick of sweltering. I was not properly prepared to live in a building without a/c and for walking all over a breezeless city. So… I bought some long walking shorts today. I want to be comfy, at least for the next week while it’s still warm ;) While I was in line waiting to check out I struck up a conversation with the gal in front of me and the gal who was working (I know, I still talk to strangers…) and it came up that I was unemployed. The gal who works for the store asked me if I had any retail experience and then proceeded to let me know that this particular store is hiring a part-time assistant manager and gave me an application. This could be an amazing opportunity and I will totally be bringing this back on Monday when the store manager is in. Who would have guessed a little impulse-buying would lead to a job tip. I will keep you all posted!
