So, an update!
This last month has been pretty interesting.
I actually started about 3 weeks ago working for "Family Video". A large privately owned video rental chain, as a Store Manager in Training. The pay was decent enough, 44 hours a week, chance at small commissions, easy work, etc.
However, once I started working, the real fun began. They began to ask me to work a few extra minutes off the clock like. Hey, go ahead and punch out, and do that last bit of work on the file there, and I'll see you tomorrow. So it started out innocent enough, but when my off the clock hours started to become more and more frequent I started to do some digging. This was the corporate policy. The store managers were expected to work at least 50 hours a week, and the MIT's were supposed to work more than their 44 paid hours a week.
I found this to be pretty unethical, so once again, my search for a new job resumed.
Long story short, I got hired as a recruiter. I've done recruiting in the past, but never as a full time, and full commission job. The job has some good benefits, and I get my own office. I know the ropes of the recruiting business, as I did it a few summers ago, so hopefully I'll do ok. The earning potential is there, so as long as I'm good at it, I can make more than enough money to support myself.
Now I'm actually in a good position to help other people in a situation like mine. So, if you're resume is in need of a bit of pimpin', feel free to talk to me. I'll recruit for you.
