Well, for the duration of these last 2 weeks, I have been applying for tons of different jobs and I will admit, I was being picky saying that now that I have a Bachelor of Arts degree in Sociology and a minor in Hotel, Restaurant,and Tourism Administration from a 4-year University and jobs are really hard to come by now, I did NOT and totally REFUSED to work at places like Blockbuster, video rental stores, grocery stores, dollar stores/fast food places, u know -small jobs for kids still in high school or going to College and not looking to better themselves, but I see now that these places are the only places that are hiring and so I stepped out of my high horse and applied for a job @ Hollywood Video because I love movies! I would not be okay doing that job-but the paycheck is the key! I have a friend who works for Wal-Mart and she told me that she could get me on so I went to a local Wal-Mart and filled out the application on there Career Center for a HR position/Supervisor, etc. and it was 45 minutes to complete the application and it was a 72 question Questionnaire placing me in all these difficult situations and asking what I would or would not do and it is had for me to pass test like that so I took it and at the end, it told me that I passed! I was so overjoyed! I was extremely happy for myself because I KNOW THAT college prepared ME to answer those well-thought out questions. I was thrilled for myself because I had the mindset to answer those questions. My education is very valuable to me and I want the chance to use it n e where and with n e and every Company that I work for. That is y I went to College! As far as Delta Airlines goes-all I did was a telephone interview and passed that, but Delta has no set places for face-to-face meetings in New Orleans so I keep calling them periodically to check. Since I could not get on at the Roosevelt Hotel, I applied for a few positions at the Hilton Hotel and I called there last week and the lady told me to give them a week and then call back. I am hoping that 1 of these four jobs open up for me!
