Not Sure If I Told You
« on: June 20, 2018, 09:41:04 am »
Since school has been out Emma has been looking for a part time job but no luck so far.  I can't remember if I've told you any of this?  HELP!  Anyway, she was offered a job but they wanted her to work 36 hours a week and that was just ridiculous for a kid, not so much during the summer but when school is on it's way too much.  She applied at a grocery store and a coffee shop and neither of them called her back.  I mean she had interviews at both places, she has no doubt applied more places and didn't get an interview.  Today she had an interview at a sandwich shop, only healthy stuff.  It's a brand new place that is opening in a couple of weeks.  She said she felt the interview went well but you never know.
I think a big problem for Emma is that she looks so young.  When we go out to eat many times the hostess at the restaurant will ask if we need a "child's menu".  Emma is NOT thrilled about that but it is the way it is.   The guy told Emma today that he would let her know in a day or two.  Time will tell.  ;D

I hope your Emma gets the job, it will give her some money and independence for herself. Please let us know when she hears from them.
My Emma has a job at KFC, just a few hours a week, mainly weekend work.

I haven't heard anything but she did say the guy said he would let her know today or tomorrow but I don't know if she would hear either way or just if she was hired?   Thanks for the offer of a reference.  ;D

I just found out, Emma called and she said the man who interviewed yesterday  called and offered her a job.
She was at her pottery class tonight and he left a message.  She called him back and got the news.  She was so excited and happy and we are happy for her of course.   They plan to open the restaurant next week and she doesn't know exactly when she starts but it will be soon.

PS  I meant to put up a link so you can see where Emma will be working.  Some young men started this and opened the first one in Cedar Fall, over by the university and now they are opening their second one here.

That menu looks interesting. Good for Emma. I am pleased she got the job. What does Emma do at pottery ? Doe she use the wheel or is it hand potting. I loved my pottery.

I don't know a single thing about Emma's class.  I know she said last night she made a pot with a lid.  I didn't even know she was taking this class so I haven't talked to her about it.  I'll try to remember to ask her.  She was very happy to have a job.

I don't know exactly what Emma will do but I can guess.  It is not a restaurant where you sit down and a waiter/waitress comes to take your order.  You go to a counter and place your order and move through the line telling the person what you want in or on your "whatever".  There would be several workers there doing this and I presume Emma would be one of them.  When you are done instructing them as to what you want and when they have it together, then you move on to pay so Emma could be the one to take your money.  I am guessing that they all do everything sooner or later, but I'm not sure.  Do you have Subway?  It's on that order if you know what I mean.

Right, I don't think this will be her life's work.  ;)
