No jobs for temporary people

Today I did something about my lack of job. I went into town and looked in the window of every single shop that there was to see if there were any vacancy notices. I even went to the out of town shopping area. I found about 10 shops out of a hundred or so which had them. So I went in and enquired, seemed like I could get the job if I wanted, but then every store didn’t want someone for only 2 months. Which was annoying. In Toni & Guy I saw a sign saying ‘Gents Models wanted’. I almost went in for a laugh, but then decided not to. The awkward part where they say ‘you are not quite what we are looking for’ wouldn’t have been that fun. Maybe when my acne has cleared up I could try .

So what now? Well I got a few application forms. One for Wilkinsons and one for Card Warehouse. Neither of which appealed too much. I don’t think many of the staff in Wilkinsons spoke English, and both posts are permanent but I shall try applying anyway. I might go to a temping office too, see whether they have anything. Other than that I guess I’ll need to try and sell warhammer – not a great income by any means, but something at least.

One thing that was interesting was looking at the shop windows. I never thought I would find so many vacancies at this time in summer (they aren’t great shops but still). Well if nothing else comes off I think I might go to a charity shop, and get some retail experience. A couple of the vacancies were in charity shops. Hopefully I’d get an enormous sense of well-being too, since I’d be volunteering outside D of E lol.

I guess I’ll need to wait till uni, and get a saturday job. One that is permanent.
