Pharmacy
technician: I was looking for a job and it
lead me to this:
You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in a practicum placement in a pharmacy environment in order to refine your pharmaceutical skills and gain hands-on work experience. By the time you graduate, you’ll be ready to take on your first job with confidence!”
May 9 Job interview: I did a job interview last
week. It was at a really nice spa. It was the usual of answering calls,
inventory, etc. They mentioned that it
can get really busy and you have to know how to prioritize. There was a little selling of the
products. It was going to be a
part-time to full-time position. There
was going to be a few job shadow shifts for 1-2hrs and not be paid for it.
I like job shadows because then you can really experience
what the work place is going to be like without having to make the commitment
of taking the job first. I’m sure a lot
of people have taken a job before and then it turns out the job wasn’t what you
expected and/ or you didn’t like it.
May 13 Insurance office: I did another job interview
yesterday. It was at an insurance
office. It was a small place. I had to do a test and it took me 30 min. to
complete 3 tasks. Afterwards we talked a
bit. It was average interview.
They probably looked for someone who can complete the tasks
in half the time. I knew I was
frustrated and the interviewer noticed.
Jacob: Last week I read that the clothing store Jacob
is going to close down all 92 of their stores.
I was surprised because there hasn’t been any news about it. In the article it said it was in creditor
protection since Nov. 2010.
Off the Wall: Does anyone remember this clothing
store? It was in West Ed mall. I looked it up and Wikipedia said it closed
down:
“Off The Wall, founded in 1984 and closed in early
2011, is a former Canadian retailer of apparel, footwear, accessories and
equipment for active young women. Off the Wall provided a wide variety of
brands and styles all in one place.”
Japanese restaurants: I found this on Yahoo news.
According to Food Beast, the experience of dining with a stuffed animal by your side makes the experience of dining alone, a little less lonely.”
Here are some comments:
Emma Peel: I remember a waitress put me with another diner that was sitting alone at a small booth, it was a very busy restaurant, it was very ackward, he seemed uncomfortable and I didn't know where to look, I'd rather be alone and I am sure he did also, but I like it when I see people dinning alone, shows there very confident and they don't need another person to make there dinning experience

billnye69: Can people bring their own stuffed animals?
Malinamanito: Can't they 'rent' people to eat with them? I
guess the Mooing Hippo has no extra cost added to it. These days, people with
smartphones in restaurants usually don't even realize that they have company, I
guess the mascot would work best in this situation.
My opinion: That is so cute and funny with cute
hippos. I don’t usually eat out anyway
because I work at a restaurant. If I do
eat out, it’s when I go out to dinner with my family or I buy fast food. I rarely buy fast food when I can buy chips
at store. The chips I buy are usually
the 2 bags of chips for $6 deal.
Female CEO gets hit on: I got this on Yahoo news:
“As CEO of tech startup Locket, Yunha Kim often sends out
emails to potential employees to ask if they'd be interested in meeting with
her about a work opportunity or available position at her company. And although
she's professional in sending out these emails, not everyone is professional in how they reply.
Recently Kim, whose company helps users change and
personalize their Android smartphone homescreens, contacted a male developer
about whether he'd be interested in joining Locket. He
responded, "Hey Yunha, I'm pretty happy with my current job, but if
you're single I'd like to date you. Perhaps there are some unconventional ways
to lure me away from my company (besides stock options) if you know what I
mean. ;)"”
Still, Kim isn't giving up on making things better for women
in the workplace. At the end of the day, she concludes, you can't change your
gender, but you can alter your approach: "The lesson here is that it is
all about how you frame your perspective."
My opinion: This is a good article about women in the
work force, entrepreneurs, and job tips.
May 17 Grant MacEwan: I read in the Metro on May 15
that “New MacEwan campus designed for downtown.” It’s going to be a Centre for the Arts and
Culture campus right by MacEwan City Centre campus. I went to the Centre for the Arts MacEwan
campus in the west end for my Professional Writing.
NAIT: I read in the Metro on May 15 “NAIT crane
operator hopefuls line up for days.”
Only 180 spots are available for this program. These trades pay very well.
May 21 Job: My restaurant has been pretty quiet for
the past month, except for Mother’s Day.
Jun. 2: I wanted to add to that Japanese restaurant. Today this Asian couple in their 50s was with
their son in his late 20s. They had this
big monkey in a blue t-shirt. The monkey
was light brown, with a white face. They
ate and took pictures with it. The
monkey was so cute.
