There is so much to update you on that I will need to do this in different parts. Plus I would be writing for hours if I did everything right now. I'll write one more right now and then will continue either later today or tomorrow.
So what's upcoming?? Alot, but I'll keep on the employment issue right now. Once I decided that I was done with The Shade Tree- I started looking for some new jobs. I already knew that I would never find a job making what I was making at Tubman (I was there for close to 7 years)- so I first figured out the lowest I could survive comfortably on. I also made it a point to not apply for jobs within social services, except for one amazing agency that I learned about at a meeting.
Las Vegas has tons of employment search type websites, which makes sense considering the type of town it is. One thing that I realized is a lot of jobs, all serving jobs, need to have the cards I wrote about previously. I still have not obtained these cards. I know that at least for one of the cards, you need to have a letter of intent to hire before you can obtain the card. I looked at alot of postings on Craigslist as well for jobs. There are at least 10 new postings in the employment section on there every MINUTE. So I would copy and paste ones that were interesting to me, mostly those having to do with Administrative or Data stuff.
One job that caught my eye....which I'll explain more in a minute...was for either a clerk or hostess at a new Gentleman's Club. For this position, you had to apply in person either on Monday or Tuesday...so after leaving The Shade Tree I headed there to apply. While I was sitting in the club filling out the applications, the owners/managers or whoever they were starting walking around asking all of us which position we were applying for. Every table said dancer.....so they all chatted and all of a sudden I was the only one in the club now. So when I handed the my application, my answer was anything except dancer. I can face the fact that I don't have a dancer/stripper body.....but I could seriously never do that anyways. I interviewed on the spot for cashier, but I am unsure when they are opening or when they are getting back to people.
Now, to explain....In MN, I would never have considered working in a strip club no matter the position. I truly believe that most of the clubs in MN exploit women....so why would I consider it here. There is no way to explain the difference except to say it's different here. There are counties in NV where prostitution is legal. Those I have met out here that work in strip clubs, truly enjoy what they do. It's not the stories of I need to do this for the money to survive like I would hear in MN. So here in NV, I would work in such a club under one condition.....I HAVE TO BE WEARING CLOTHES AT ALL TIMES.
Once I arrived home, I was going through emails and came across one regarding an application I submitted to the Rivieria Hotel and Casino. I almost didn't open it since most of these emails have been the "Sorry, we hired someone else...." type letters. I,in the end, did open the email and was surprised to see that the Rivieria wants to interview me for the Risk Management Coordinator position before the week is over. This position is mainly dealing with data entry and data analysis for the security department. Those who really knew my work at Tubman, would know that this is right up my alley. Since receiving the email, I have been playing phone tag with them. I plan on calling them in a few hours after she is in the office to get this interview set up.
I think that's about it for this morning. Writing seemed to be pretty therapeutic to me this morning as I now think I might be able to sleep.
