another one bites the dust
I hit the Open House today at TFCU in Farmingville. I sat there and waited, reading their literature, deciding if I wanted to take any of it home, and doodling out an entire anime girl in my notebook (with time to spare). Good thing I'm not a smoker.

Anyway, the woman finally calls me out of the room. She stops in the hall and tells me that I have a lot of experience, but they're hiring for tellers and I don't have banking experience on my application. I mentioned that I had been a retail cashier for two years (but forgot the big one, I'll mention that later). She said they needed someone with teller and banking knowledge. However, they would keep my application for 90 days and, if a backoffice position opened up, they would be in contact with me.

So, I went home, complained to Mom a bit, and pouted about another 'easy' job that slipped by because I apparently have the wrong type of experience. I thought about it later and realized I could have pushed the Splish Splash angle, how I monitored and kept track of the cash flow in the park. {{beats herself over the head}} Damn.

I hate this job search. It's worse than the last one.

drive home
I hit Taco Bell because I was hungry, or because I just wanted a taco... {{shrugs}} Either way, I was nearing my exit on the LIE when I considered driving out to Splish Splash to see if I could apply for something out there while I was still in my skirt. Then I figured, it's almost 5:30 pm. The main office people probably aren't there, and, if they are, they won't be thrilled about someone coming in to fill out an application at that time when they're trying to finish up their day.

Maybe I'll go tomorrow.

n.y.c.
Of course, there's always the job fair in NYC on Thursday. My parents might not like the idea of me going in, but... {{shrugs}} I've done it before and they know about it. I just have to go where the jobs are.

Also, it doesn't necessarily mean that the only jobs there will be available in NYC. Brookhaven Lab was at one in the City at John Jay College not that long ago. I happened to have seen an article in Newsday about it. So, if I'm lucky, there will be a few Long Island companies at this one in the city.
