you didn't miss anything at the Job Fair. of the forty or so exhibitors, i only visited eight of them. and of those, i feel only good about one of them (Denver Health). i wouldn't mind working as an enrollment specialist; my Spanish and customer service may just be my ticket in. the job seems a bit more challenging than a ward or clinic clerk position and it pays more too ;)
anyway, here are the other seven...and my initial feelings about them:
R*se M*dical and Sp*lding R*hab...only hiring for medical positions. nice people tho'.
Sofa M*rt...nothing special. a generic application...but a four day workweek! my favorite digs have been either eight days on and six days off or ten and four...
H*rtz...maybe. i forgot to find out if they offer free bus passes. driving 50+ miles round trip just to go to work is not very appealing to me, especially in bad weather.
Schw*n...they were only hiring Route Sales Managers. guess not.
Kac*y Fine F*rniture...only hiring salesmen with interior design background. feh.
CU H*alth Sci*nces...just wanted you to apply online. WHY THE HELL EXHIBIT THEN?
M*ttress K*ng...guys weren't even interested in being there. i don't think so.
yeah, pickins were slim. the only other place i might have considered (in another lifetime) was Walgr**n's. however, i won't even set foot into one unless absolutely necessary...so why work for them?
i did see one of my drinking acquaintances, Al. he had taken a sabbatical from being a CNA and thought it might be time to go back. god, the need for health care professionals is still so great. i heard on TV that some hospitals (probably in other states) are offering $60K starting salaries to RNs. obviously, i went to school for the wrong thing, eh? nah. i get too attached to people. it's nice to watch people get better, but i don't know how oncological or hospice nurses aren't driven to drink; those patients already have one or two strikes against them.
maybe Denver Health'll call...Rach, i may need some prayers from you and yer friends ;)
oh yeah, one funny thing did happen while i was at the fair. Panda Express, the california based, fast-food mall restaurant, had a table and was recruiting probably for management. well, the couple times i walked past them, the two asian gals who were the exhibitors kept smiling at me. oh no...none o' that! i think they were trying to get me to go over there! BAD! stay away! spending fifteen years in my parents' restaurant cured me from ever running a restaurant, let alone a chinese one! 'course, i could help overhaul their poor seasoning skills - they have no clue. and it doesn't help to go there and see a young Mexican man at the cook's helm ;) ah well, he's probably thinking, "What the hell is that guy doing...trying to speak my language! humph!"
