Finally, I am free of this nightmare!
Friday is my last day at my current job and I start the new one Monday! More money, immediate benefits, more advancement opportunity, and best of all, it’s what I want to do.
My current job was supposed to be temporary while I found a company I really wanted to work at, but I ended up being sucked in for 9 months. I’ve gotten other offers, but nothing close to what I wanted, so I stuck it out until…my phone rang this afternoon…and I heard the words I’ve been waiting for!
The Dope has been instrumental in helping me with interviews, my resume and overall attitude regarding the job hunt. Thanks everyone!
Oops! It’s a teller position at a regional bank. I worked in a bank as a senior teller for a couple of years before I moved last year, and it’s been difficult breaking back into the business (at least with the pay and hours that I need) so although I’m starting out as a teller again, I’m happy to do so. With my knowledge, I’m sure to move up soon.
My current job is a cashiering/accounting position at a Lexus dealership. The people I work with are fantastic, but the job itself leads nowhere, I’ve been bored to tears for months now, and they’ve been dragging their heels with everything. For example, I took a drug test a couple of weeks after I started, passed, and I was told they’d put me on their payroll and I could start receiving benefits after so many months. 8 and a half months later, I had to go through another drug test because they waited so long that the first one expired. If it was a simple urine test, I wouldn’t have cared, but they use hair testing. Meaning they chop off a decent portion of your hair in multiple places as close to the scalp as they can. I have nice hair, and I was pretty peeved at having to go through the process a second, unnecessary, time. That’s just one of many :rolleyes: experiences I’ve had.
But no more! ~does happy dance~
