Just got home from a jampacked day of class and doctors and resume dropping. Actually, on a whim, as I was waiting for my chai latte (newest and most major addiction EVER), I asked one of the ladies working if they were hiring. She was looking over a resume so my timing was a bit more than just serendipitous haha. She took my resume and got really excited as we started talking more. I described my barista and serving experience and now I'm booked in for a training shift on Friday. Well, I think it's more of a try-out, I don't think I have the job YET.
Then, at another cafe downtown, I inquired about whether the manager was hiring and he happened to be right there. We talked for a bit and then he invited me around behind the counter, business was slow, and basically started training me right there. He did tell me, up front, that he didn't have a position available immediately but that he wanted me to be a callin/backup/school holiday/saturday girl for the time being.
So....two jobs yikes! I'm going to wait it out and see, the first cafe is at the Mawson Lakes campus adn SO far from my home, about an hour and a half by bus. That's definitely not an attractive feature. The other cafe is pretty cool but since I might not be able to get many hours, I'm going to continue handing my resume out around town. I feel like today must be a lucky day or something, because after weeks of non-receptive managers, I have two potentials in one day!
It's starting to feel more like fall today, which is so bizarre because I feel like I just went through this whole autumnal thang.
Here's a pic of fall at its finest:
