I finally got a seasonal job!

jesyka · Nov 14, 2023 at 02:06 PM

I took a break from this site. I don’t know where to post this. Hopefully it’s OK to post this info here.

I got a p/t to where I’ll probably be working 16-18 hours a week as a sales associate at a major retail store near me.

The pay is minimum wage in my area which sucks. Especially since I have lots of previous experience. I’m tired of looking though & I need the money bad, so I accepted this offer.

Hopefully they’ll hire me as a permanent employee after the holidays.

Older people tend to work at this store, so that’s good for me.

I can also wear jeans & sneakers that work too. Of course I’ll try to dress up more at first.

It’ll be nice to not have to rely on my financially controlling husband as much anymore!

Congratulations

Congratulations! No shame is taking a job you need and you never know where it will lead. Do your best, shine, build confidence and independence, learn everything they're willing to teach you, and keep an eye out for further opportunities. You'll do great.

Thanks. I’m not sure if I’ll stay there or not. I’m going to try to look for a better job that’s hopefully less stressful.
