Hopefully, I'll be interning at a zoo around here this summer, as an animal care-taker. Cross your fingers for me! Here's a list of past (and current) jobs:
11/05-Present ...
Steve & Barry’s (Head Cashier) ... It's an alright job. I don't really agree with some of the corporate policies, but they're not enough to make me leave. I need the money so I work here.
09/05-Present ...
Michigan Tech Fund (Fundraiser) ... Again, cool job but the hours weren't so great. We only worked Monday-Thursday from 6-10 pm. I have FIRST related meetings on both Wednesday and Thursday nights, so I could only work 8 hours per week. Not enough. I still call if I have a free evening, though.
05/05-08/05 ...
Petco (Sales Associate) ... This was a cool job, and I'll be working here over Christmas break, unless I stay in Houghton for the summer. I love talking to people about animals and love pets - it just fits.
12/04–07/05 ...
American Eagle (Sales Associate) ... I *loved* working here. Unfortunately, the 20 hours/week they promised me this summer turned out to be 5 hours per week of unpaid "on call shifts".
03/04–10/04 ...
Orbis Corporation (Temporary Employee) ... My dad is the head of engineering at Orbis' corporate office, and they needed someone to check about 3,000 plastic totes for defects. Then I filled in as secretary for a few days and wound up typing in orders for an extra month. I quite because I was bored to tears, and my boss (who wasn't my dad) was not at all understanding that I couldn't work the convential 9-5 every day, because I was also attending a community college.
10/01-01/04 ...
Sears (Sales Associate/Cashier) ... I left this job only because my family had to move, because my dad was promoted (see above). I liked this job, and everyone thought it was cute that my at-the-time-boyfriend and I worked for the same company, even though it was in two completely diffent places.
10/00-10/01 ...
Copps Food Center (Bagger) ... Scheduling issues. I was offered a job at Sears that paid more money and had better hours.
09/00-10/00 ...
Print Shop (T-shirt Printer/Bagger/Shipper) ... This job, well, sucked. My shift was cancelled because there were only 4 people who could work it, and 3 people were needed to run the equipment. So if two people couldn't work, the shift had to be cancelled.
