Working for the Snoop Dog

Yesterday I had my second interview with Knott's Berry Farm. I felt like it went well, and was called back in after to be told that I was hired for Parking/Transportation/Traffic. The relief was so instant I caused an earthquake. As I finished signing the last paper for employment, So Cal's second 4.5 earthquake hit. The recruiters then started joking around with  me saying that they hope that's a sign that I'm going to be a good employee. I'm glad I already have an inside joke with them.

I really can't wait to start this job. Not because I was desperate for one (80 applications and a month and a half later, and I FINALLY get something), but because this is a total new experience for me, and at this point in my life, I'm all for trying new things and experiencing the world.

I'll be honest. It isn't Disney. But, it will give me experience in several ways to be considered for Disney in the future. It's no secret that I applied for Disney a few months back. While they haven't said "no" to me, they haven't said "yes" either. There's still hope, but I'm really not expecting to be hired as a Cast Member just yet. And you know what? I'm okay with that.

So that's the latest on my job search. Thank you, friends and family, who have supported me in this and have helped me. It really means a ton, and I seriously have some freaking awesome friends and family out there. Thank you.

Rest assured I will definitely keep you updated on how training and everything goes. I won't actually start working for another week or two, but again, I'll post all my adventures here when the time comes.

Thank you guys again for being there through this difficult job hunting process. I can finally relax a little bit now. Things are working out.

Until the next adventure....

  2. I commend you on being persistent and not giving up Austen. At least you get to work at the 2nd happiest place in So Cal. :0)
