Well... time for a new chapter in my life.
A lot of you, if not most of you, dont know me. Well, I'm a 20 year old hardworking, easy going, pesticide applicating college student. My job at Scott's Lawn Service pays me well, well enough to pay my outrageous bills and still have a little fun... But I absolutely HATE my job at Scott's.
Lately, I've been searching high and low for a new job, something that will pay me just as well if not more, than Scott's. I've been searching for things in my field of study, industrial engineering, and have been unsuccesful finding one that doesnt say "5 years experience a must." So, dissappointed, I began looking for any and EVERYthing that would pay me equally. I'm tired of not getting paid for the work I put in. It's a rough decision because Scott's IS a good job, it's just not for me anymore, I'm better than Scott's.
Well, I woke up this morning and didn't feel so great, so I called out of work. When I woke up, I checked my Facebook account, and looked at my daily horoscope... This is what it read... "Pisces: You've been grappling with a tough decision, and don't know what to do. Luckily, you're about to get a sign that will lead you in the right direction." I took that with a grain of salt and hopped on Craigslist in the jobs section. Right away I saw this job that looked interesting, but there wasn't too much info on it. It said I had to apply in person only.
So since I had the day off anyway until school starts tonight, I figured I'd take my resume over there and give it a shot, just for giggles. Right away, I get a sense of discomfort, a feeling of not belonging almost... Until a guy comes out to greet me, takes my resume, my application and calls me into his office. We chat, shoot the shit for about 20 minutes...
Well before I knew it, I'm taking a tour of the facilities, grabbing some insurance and benefit info, and am now dubbed with the title of CNC Machinist.
The company is BNL Industries, and I'll start on first shift to train, then when this semester of classes is over (since Im taking night classes), I'll bounce to second shift, with which comes a pay increase, and allows me to take normal day classes next semester! This is their website http://www.valves.net/
Im BEYOND excited...
