This morning I had an job interview for a Front Desk Assistant position here at MacEwan Res. It went really well - I'm really jonesing for this spot. Every time I've dealt with the FD, they've been more than accommodating, super organized and really on top of things. I've been thoroughly impressed each time I've needed something. And they've got some great employee perks too: pay starts off at 13/hour, which is an enormous amount compared to my 9.27 at Starbucks. Also, I can only be scheduled for 3 shifts a week because it's a university-run business. On top of this, during the summer Residence becomes a hotel and conference building for various meetings, etc. With a dollar raise every 3 months or so, this job seems pretty grand. I'm really hoping I made a good impression this morning. Pointed questions during an interview make my stomach turn a bit. 'Name 5 qualities that describe you' | 'Why are you the best candidate for this job?' | It's uncomfortable talking about yourself, although necessary in an interview. Hopefully whatever I said was what they were looking for!
Now the rest of the day will be spent with my nose in my Anatomy book. Then Physiology. But such is life! There is no comparison to my attitude when I'm working full-time to when I'm in school full-time. This has been such a positive change.
Peace!
Dani.

no doubt you did a great job 'wowing' (is that even a word??) them during the interview - they'd be crazy not to hire you! and how sweet would that be - take the elevator to your job. I do seem to remember a more senior parental unit 'strongly encouraging' you to seek a job on campus.....don't you hate when that happens?? Hope you get the job!!
