The first was at a place called Clean Water Action. They are a a political/environmental group that has an office here in Tampa. Check out their website. The position is half office work, half door to door type of stuff. Going around educating people on environmental issues and candidates. It sounds like an interesting job, but I'm not so sure about the whole door to door aspect of it. I know I hate when people come knocking on my door at 8:00 in the evening. They asked me to come back for what they call a second interview, but it actually more of career shadowing. Monday I will spend an entire day with one of the senior staff members to see if I would like the job. They are going to pay me for that day, so I figured why not.
The second interview was at John Casablancas Modeling and Career Center. It is an Admissions Rep position similar to what I was doing at SWFC, but it is a commission based position. You can check them out here. It was a good interview, but if I am offered that job it would be tough to take it. I have read a few negative reviews of the company online. It is over 25 miles away, which translates to over 3 gallons of gas just to go to and from work everyday. It would be cool to have a business card that says I work for a modeling agency though. :) Perfect pick up line right? "Excuse me ladies, are you models by any chance? No? Well let me give you my card." Hehe.
Then, after the my last interview, I stopped by SWFC to see my friend Areen who still works there. It turns out my old boss got fired a couple days ago and they have brought in some one that has been the Director of Admissions at the Ft Myers campus, and then "retired" and held a seat on the board. Several people told me I should come in Monday to talk to him about possibly getting a job as an Admissions Rep there. I would normally not want to go back to a company that has laid me off like that, but I truly believe that it was my former boss that was the cause of the problems. I just really liked the people I worked with, and the owners of the college. And honestly, what's the worst that could happen? I already don't work there.
On another note, my Mom is crazy. I will try to set the scene:
We are sitting at Sonny's, the local bar-b-q establishment. We were casually talking about nothing in particular and our food came. We dug in, and for several minutes neither of us spoke. Then this happened,
Mama says, "What time is it in France?"
"I don't know for sure, but I think like 7 hours ahead?" I replied. "Why?"
"I was just wondering what the people in France are doing."
"Okay. Why?"
"No reason."
Again I submit, my mother is crazygonuts.
Matt-attack out!
