Bill Miller's here I come?

[angel_luv]

I have a job interview Monday at 3 pm.

[katyon6th]

Would you be working at the corporate office or one of the restaurants?

Either way, good luck. :)

[JoeChalupa]

Good luck.

[angel_luv]

I applied to bus in the restaurant by my house.

I thought I could use a challenge in the off season- keep my conditioning up. :)

[kris]

Congratulations on your interview. You are an intergral part of society by the way you contribute.

[Silver21_Black20]

Good Luck!!

p.s. I miss seeing you at work. It seems like forever since I've seen you.

[ShoogarBear]

Hmm, would you be able to score free sweetened ice tea? I miss ol' Bill's tea.

[sa_butta]

Hmm, would you be able to score free sweetened ice tea? I miss ol' Bill's tea.It is very good but Luby's is better.

[angel_luv]

Thanks all for the support.

Maybe I'll be bringing sweet tea to GTG's from now on. :)



Good Luck!!

p.s. I miss seeing you at work. It seems like forever since I've seen you.


Are you working tonight? I was hoping so.

[sa_butta]

Thanks all for the support.

Maybe I'll be bringing sweet tea to GTG's from now on. :)
And brisket.

[angel_luv]

:lol

Anything else?

Potato salad? Fries? Good looking, single co- workers? :lol

[Silver21_Black20]

Are you working tonight? I was hoping so.

Yea...I work tonight. You too?

[ShoogarBear]

DON:T DO IT!!!
You;re above that girly.
oh god just dont; do it.

you're entire paycheck wil lgo towards lever2000 and Tide trying to get the constant fastfood BBQ smell out of your skin hair and clothes.

[Horry For 3!]

Awesome! Good Luck!


I saw some Bill Miller's yesterday. I was in SA

[angel_luv]

Yea...I work tonight. You too?


I will be there at 5. See you there! :)

I am open to alternatives but bills must be paid.

[Silver21_Black20]

:elephant

[ShoogarBear]

Why would you ever want to get BBQ smell out of your skin?

[Melmart1]

I used to have a roommate who worked at Bill Miler's. Trust me, you DO want that smell out of your skin!

[CharlieMac]

That sweet tea at The Smokehouse off of Walters and Rigsby is killer.

Good luck with the job interview yo'.

[ObiwanGinobili]

I am open to alternatives but bills must be paid.


Build a Bear workshop.
you are PEFECT for build a Bear. sweet, nice, kind.

I know the one at North Star needs some help.

[angel_luv]

If this falls through, I will look into the build a bear.

Thanks Obi!

[ShoogarBear]

Let me know if you need a bear model. :angel

[DannyT]

I used to work a bills back in the day when i was in HS.... at 6 something an hour it was tight but we worked especially for dinner and LUNCH!!!!

but none the less the smell does stay in your lil blue shirt and hat but to be honest for the most part females are UP FRONT and the dudes bus...call it what you want but thats how it was when i was there... you might start out bussing but eventualy you will be up front serving ranchers and three pieces....but i do agree with obi there has to be better for you with less toxic smells....
but GOOD LUCK!!!!

[SequSpur]

Great, Pop plays small ball and loses and this chick has to get a job at Fuckin Bill Millers.

Pop should be fired.

[Nbadan]

You can make $10/hour starting for Washington Mutual and save your skin.

[ZStomp]

Angel,

Do you go to school?

[kris]

DON:T DO IT!!!
You;re above that girly.
oh god just dont; do it.

you're entire paycheck wil lgo towards lever2000 and Tide trying to get the constant fastfood BBQ smell out of your skin hair and clothes.




Sorry, but we can't all work at the Ritz. :angel

[kris]

I am open to alternatives but bills must be paid.


Egg xactly. Sometimes you just got to work to get that sweet, sweet $148/week. It isn't always glamourous but at least you're doing what you have to do to get the job done. That's something that ranks on my top five of respectable things all-time.

Kudos to you Archie's semi-girlfriend...yes, kudos indeed.

[ChumpDumper]

If I want sweet tea, I'll put the sugar in myself, goddam it!

[ObiwanGinobili]

Sorry, but we can't all work at the Ritz. :angel

huh?
wtf?
I;ve worked some low wage jobs , not all were in restaurtants, but the ones that were are the worst. you can get paid the same or more in a less toxic environment.

[angel_luv]

I have another possible option... an office job this time. I have to call a neighbor for the details/ interview.

I figure I might as well apply for both jobs since that double my chances of getting one.

[boutons_]

Taco Bell near me is advertizing for Manager positions, up to $45K (probably BS).

I've seen a couple other fast food chains with signs up for hiring. Aren't they getting flooded at this time of year by students out of school? Why are the signs up?

[JoeChalupa]

Maybe because some don't want to work for that pay?

[J.T.]

Yes, retail and office jobs are far better than food service (and most of the time pay better too). Bill's is a good place though, there's only one that I know of in Austin and it's not close to me at all, so I'm sure to go there every time I'm in the area. <3 the tea.

[ShoogarBear]

Great, Pop plays small ball and loses and this chick has to get a job at Fuckin Bill Millers.

Pop should be fired.This is why Sequ should be Secretary of Labor.

[ShoogarBear]

I used to have a roommate who worked at Bill Miler's. Trust me, you DO want that smell out of your skin!
It can be licked off. :eyebrows

[angel_luv]

Our neighbor is going to try to get me an interview for Thursday.



The job sounds fairly simple. I would be a front desk service rep for a company that produces signs.
The salary is the the same as Bill Miller's anD I can wear jeans.

Also, my neighbor thinks her boss will give me a flexible fall schedule so I can keep my Spurs job. For now my hours would be Monday- Friday 8:30- 5:30.



My interview at Bill Miller's is tomorrow. Now I don't know what to do about it. Should I still go?
Or is it safe to hold out for this other interview since I can probably always get hired at a fast food place.

Thoughts?

[Old School Chic]

Angel, the best of luck in your job hunting... But for a person as sweet as you, you might want to go more for an office job or even working retail, like Foley's or Dillards. :spin

[leemajors]

go ahead and go to the interview, but keep your options open.

Hold off on Bill Miller's :tu

[angel_luv]

So you think I should cancel my Bill Miller's interview or try to postpone it to say Friday?

[Old School Chic]

So you think I should cancel my Bill Miller's interview or try to postpone it to say Friday?

If you can postpone that would be nice.

[angel_luv]

If I keep Thursday open, is there any reason I shouldn't keep my Bill's interview?

[angel_luv]

Pretty Pic OSC :)

[angel_luv]

I would rather have the office job. I'm just nervous about not having work.. i.e. income.

[MannyIsGod]

I think you should go to the interview. Once you've made a person set aside time for you, I feel you're obligated to show up. If you're not sure, don't accept any jobs if they offer you one.

[angel_luv]

I was thinking I should go as well... and see how they feel about me not starting right away.

Who knows they might not even want me.

[ObiwanGinobili]

So you think I should cancel my Bill Miller's interview or try to postpone it to say Friday?

postponing would be your best bet since most bill miller's interviews are actually "yes your hired, here;s some paperwork, fill it out and bring it back in X-amoutn of days, thats when you start"

[Old School Chic]

Pretty Pic OSC :)

Thank you Angel.

FYI: The pic I have on my avatar now is not the pic Angel was admiring... :oops

I'm actually trying to put a pic of my happy face since most of the ladies already did so. Bravatars are only for the Spurs season. (Sorry guys!)
I just woke up my husband and asked him for help! :lol

Go to the interview. It's always good to keep your options open. You don't have to take the job, even if they hire you on the spot.

Go to the interview at Bills. Then get into healthcare asap.

Healthcare Credentialing is a good field which doesn't require a degree and pays well to start.

All you're doing is background checks on physicians, like licensure, education, board certification, malpractice, sanctions, references, etc.

When you're looking for clerical stuff, just don't forget the healthcare side of it.

[angel_luv]

Thank you all for your support and advice.

I still don't know what I want to do, so I am going to sleep on it and go with my gut in the morning.

Thanks again. :)


Great new pic, btw, OSC

[Clandestino]

your best bet is to work as a waitress or a bartender anywhere else... you will make more money in tips than at an office job or working fast food... also, you can go to bill millers and still get hired, start working and then quit whenever you want.. all managers know that when they hire people in these low pay, low skill jobs that people quit left and right with no 2 weeks notice... also, they will tell you that in texas they can fire you any day for any reason and that you can quit at any time for any reason..

regardless, if you are solely looking for where you will make the most money, go be a waitress or a bartender...bartender is even better...

[angel_luv]

I have four objectives ( aside from the obvious being responsible and making money.)

1) I want to work where God wants me to.

2) I want to be free on Sundays ( church and softball) and other week nights ( for gtgs and church choir)

3)I want to be able to keep my Spurs job.

4) I would like to try something new and interesting and permanent.

That is what I am holding out for. My dream would be that the job I am hopefully getting to interview for this Thursday proves to be the one.

However, I understand that sometimes you have to work while you wait for it, which is really why I am still going to the Bill Miller's interview.

[angel_luv]

I've never not found a job when I needed one. I have faith the same will be true again.

Believe, baby!

[ZStomp]

I want Bill Millers now.

[angel_luv]

ha ha.

What do you want to do? What are your interests? I'd guess you're about 23 - so I'd be reluctant to work at a Bill Miller's. Not that it's a job below you, or me, or anyone - but it'll just keep you away from finding exactly what you want to do. You have to be happy in your job.

Look at your church, and see what jobs are available. Volunteer at your church, because a lot of jobs are hired from the volunteers. Talk to your contacts with the Spurs/AT&T Center, and see if there's an internship program you can get into there. The AT&T runs all-year, not just for the Spurs. At a point, you have to chase what you want to do, and if you can do Bill Miller's WHILE you're doing that, great. But if it takes up too much of your time, and doesn't let you pursue what you want, I wouldn't take it. I'd still go to the interview, though.

[JoeChalupa]

Angel has a great attitude on life. :spin

[ZStomp]

Yea, I'm going to Bill Millers for lunch.

[spurs=bling]

^can i come?^

Good. On your way back drop me off a poorboy with fries, sweet tea, and a cup of ranch.

The job I hope to apply for on Thursday is for a service rep for a company that makes signs. It pays well and is permanent. Also it sounds interesting The hours may very well be flexible enough that I can work there and at the Terrace club- something I want to do if at all possible.

Oh and this was encouraging. I just found out that I was recommended for sign company job because I am a hostess.
Apparently the manager wants someone young with restaurant industry experience because he believes such a person will have the skills necessary to succeed with him.

I trust that my neighbor put in a good word for me, so we'll see what happens.

From what I can tell, if hired, I will get to train for a week in Dallas. :wow

[Silver21_Black20]

Good Luck with anything you decide to do angel.

[angel_luv]

From whave I've heard they work you like slaves, and you don't get many benefits free food wise.

But at least they pay well. :D

[angel_luv]

I am leaving now. :)

Oh the CITY.

There's a street here called Bulverde, too.

[Vashner]

I already wrote them a letter. They deliver the meats from downtown anyway...(so 281 N to Bulverde should be no big deal for operations).

Of course it's not the best but it's quick fast and ez$$.

:oops Oh! Ok...

[ZStomp]

i was at Bill Millers from 2-4 today :lol :tu


I didn't eat that much, i met a friend there and we studied for a test tomorrow..

the one at Thousand Oaks and Perinn Beitel

[spurs=bling]

did you take OSC her order?

[angel_luv]

Oh my gosh you guys!

It went so well today! Thank you God! I am so pleased!

I had read in the hand book that they want people to arrive fifteen minutes early for their shift, so I arrived twenty minutes early for my interview.

I caught the manager (a different one than the scary one I had dealt with on Saturday) on her lunch break and so I had to sit and wait.

When the interview began, the manager's first words to me were, " I looked at your resume, why on earth do you want to work here?"

I told the truth, that I wasn't sure that I did want to work at Bill's. I said I was exploring job obtions and had heard enough good things about Bill Miller's that I thought this establishment was worth looking into.

I said I thought it was best for everyone that I explore all my options so when I chose a place it would be because I really wanted to work there.

The manager was very attentive and informative and asked good questions about my back ground and experience.
We had an instant rapport. I felt entirely at ease.

After about fifteen minutes of visiting about me and the company, the manager said to me, " This is what we'll do. I want to hire you, but I also don't want to interfere with any other possibilities you may have. Why don't you think things over and get back to me on Friday."

I honestly don't see how things could have turned out more perfectly. :elephant

Moving on to stage two.. my plan now is to shine again during my interview on Thursday and make an informed decision after that.

Thanks all for your advice and support. It helped. :)

[spurs=bling]

best of luck Angel

[ShoogarBear]

Sounds like the manager was cool.

[ZStomp]

What Bill Millers?

The one I was at today- a girl came to interview too and she apparently got the job because they gave her a blue shirt.

What kind of job is that?

[Vashner]

The bill millers job experiance will produce some learning that you would not get in a more.. uh.. "soft" job.

Yea they deserve better but sometimes doing the dirty work teaches you that life experiance so that after college etc and later in life your more well equipped to deal with and understand crappy jobs and tasks.

[Silver21_Black20]

What kind of job is that?

Stop asking questions, Dammit!! :lol

I worked at BM's for a few months when I was a bit younger... the floors in the back are extremely slippery so try to wear something that will give good traction. I remember since I was the big guy I always had to take out the trash and do all the heavy lifting... so my experience at BM's might be a little different from yours. Good luck.

I have another interview on Thursday but if I take the Bill Miller's job, I will remember that.

MM. But Bill Millers. I was actually thinking about applying there today when we drove by today...then I remembered the nbasty burn one of my friends got in high school.

Lowenstein pointed to a new study authored by Dr. Robert Crandall of the Brookings Institution and Prof. J. Gregory Sidak of the Georgetown University Law Center entitled Video Games: Serious Business for America’s Economy.

Crandall and Sidak’s research found that the entertainment software business provided direct and indirect contributions of more than $18 billion to the nation’s gross output in 2004. Both researchers said that figure would steadily increase as the industry grows in the years ahead.

hourly wages are determined by location... I worked at the one @ Culebra and 410 and got 6.25... I remember somebody telling me that the one @ Culebra and 1604 started @ 7.25... so yeah... it's by location.

[Please_dont_ban_me]

okay i think i figured it out. PDBM was talking about u, but PM'd the wrong person! :lol he kept saying that you only had like 6 posts or something when obviously u have over 3000...

I just realized that.

Yes. The one on IH-35 at Schertz had a sign up recently that said they started at $7.50. They were very short-handed at the time, I don't know if that's still accurate. The sign in UC at the same time said $6.50.

The interview went very, very well. Everyone was super nice to me.

The manager is going to send my personality test away for evaulation and then said he will have me come back in for another interview in about a week.

At this point I think I am at least 85% in.

I would need to be trained in company procedures of course, but the work sounds interesting and definitely doable.

Pay starts at $8.00 an hour and I will work 37-40 hours a week.
After my probationary period is over I will be eligable to receive comission pay in addition to my regular salary. Whoosh! :elephant

I have six paid holidays (was told sometimes our Christmas holiday is extended out of company good will) and three sick days.
After working there a year, I will get a week's paid vacation. My first ever! :)

The five day training in Dallas I mentioned in a previous post would be in September. They'll fly me up.

Oh and I can keep my Spurs job if I want to. :clap

Apparently Fast Signs does a lot of business with Levy at the AT&TCenter.
The F.S. manager even knows two of my supervisors at the Terrace Club
He joked that he would be unwise to take away such a good client's best hostess. :lol

Thanks to everyone for your happy thoughts and prayers. :)

That sounds GREAT angel luv! I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you. This sounds like it would fit you like a glove, and vice versa. They would certainly be lucky to have you (and silly to hire someone else when they can hire you). Just another mark in the proof column of "everything happens for a reason".

The wonderful irony of the whole thing is that I got today's interview because my neighbor heard that I applied at Bill Miller's.

It's like I had to do the one to get the other.

I hope I get to see the results. If so, I'll let you know.

I expect it to come back with something like: Yes, she's got one
:lol

[SpursWoman]

Oh, and a little piece of advice for taking the test:

Do not, I repeat: do not answer with what you think they want to hear. There are actually questions in there to see if you are doing exactly that. Just be as honest with yourself as possible and you'll be fine!

It was funny ... the one I took was like 200 questions long ... and at 3 different points in the test it asks exactly the same question:

"How do you rate your memory?"

I had to laugh. :)

Thanks, Sw! :)

This particular test had about 35- 40 characteristics and you had to rank yourself from a scale to one being rare and 3 being usually on how you are at work.

It had words like:

patient
workaholic
attention to detail
fashionable
compassionate
un- emotional

etc.

That test was interesting because it is so subjective. For example on of the words was creative and it was hard for me know how to answer.

I am creative at work as much as the company will allow me to be. I am always ready to brainstorm but also understand the importance of sticking to company policy.
I think I rated myself a two on that one.

The funniest word was modest- especially considering that I had just given myself a 3 on fashionable. :lmao

I don't think Jesus is so detailed as to be saying "hmmm does Angel Luv get Bill Miller's or no? hmmm..." or "Should I give Angel Luv the sign job instead?"

As long as your not a prostitute or something, I think he's good.

But hey, that's just me. Maybe Bill Miller's is part of that divine plan, I'm no Sunday school teacher.

Well I was a Sunday school teacher :angel ( really :lol) and I have always believed Jesus does care.

Of course, I would not presume to speak for God, so you should probably ask Him yourself. :)

I believe he cares too, that's not where we differ. My sister is a Sunday School teacher currently. Top that smart guy. ;)

If he signed off on Bill Miller's being part of the divine plan let me know because I got a rock collection and I could really use some reassurance on Stony's well being.

I had my second interview about an hour ago.

I am here to tell you that it will be the grace of God if I land this job.

I had to take three tests. I am fairly sure I did well on the spelling and the editing test because those are my strengths.

What I do not do so well with are numbers. Granted I am semi smart there- I can do all the basic addition and subtraction. I can even figure out algebra if I have instructions in front of me.

Well they gave me a list of fractions some alone and some with mixed numbers and I had to figure out what was half.

I had a complete brain freeze. I may have even done the fractions correctly but I surely did not feel that way.
I don't remember when in school we halved fractions. I may have done it twice years ago.
My friend is really good and math and we had discussed fractions in preparation for the test, but neither of us thought to cover that.

I did the math portion first, thinking I could get it over with. That turned out to be a mistake because I felt so stupid afterwards.
Then after I did the spelling and editing, the manager came out and asked me all sorts of random questions like: "If 13% are for an idea and 42% are against it, how many people are undecided?", " Do you play chess?" and who is hurt most by a lower income tax?"

I had to pray. I wanted to forget about my math failure and at least give myself a chance to do well at the rest.

I think I did okay. I told the manager that I was fairly sure I hadn't done well with my fraction exam but was sure I could do them if he would show me how.

The manager is going to analyze all my results and let me know one way or the other probably by next Wednesday.

I did my best and have decided to try not to worry about it. The only thing that would suck worse than not getting this job is to let a not perfect interview ruin my whole weekend.

I just have to have faith that God will give me ( in the case of the fractions :oops)underserved favor and hope for the best.

:lol J/K

The job at fast signs is as a service rep. The company seems really great- there are stores all over the country. And all the people I have met from this one are really nice.


All those tests were a part of the second interview.

The hardest interview process I have ever been through is with Southwest Airlines.

If memory serves, I had to go to the initial orientation. After that I was invited to a group interview. ( Keep in mind there were weeks in between.) Then after that I had to go to another interview in which I met individually with two SW Airline staff.
I didn't make it any further but the next step after that for me would have been flight attendent school.

[Das Texan]

I didnt even know about the fast signs job. then again i didnt really read all of this topic.

My interview for my current job consisted of sitting down with my boss now, him and I chatting for about 10 minutes, him telling me what the job consisted of, him telling me to think about it over the weekend and calling him. Great stuff.


My interview before for apartment locating was simply them saying, you have your license, here is how it works, do you want it? When do you want to start?


I havent really had any difficult interview processes....then again for a long time I would never get called for interviews, probably cause employers saw I hadnt worked in 2 years due to graduate school and therefore didnt want me. Or at least thats what I have convinced myself of. :lol

[angel_luv]

That is great stuff. What do you do now?

[Das Texan]

I'm a landman.


*waits for you to have no clue what that is*

[angel_luv]

You maintain and sell property?

[Das Texan]

You maintain and sell property?



no, although sometime in the next year I plan on getting into investement properties full time and simply do that for my career, but thats down the road somewhat.


I do title work primarily right now for oil companies, look up title history for various tracts of land, along with their mineral lease history, etc.

Thats the 'real quick' version of it.

[angel_luv]

I understand. Best of luck. :)

[Das Texan]

I understand. Best of luck. :)



well thank you. I'm enjoying what I do. The travel constantly though can be a drag, but what can you do about that, few things can always be perfect.


And likewise, hope at least one of those pan out for you. :smokin


And if it is Bill Miller's, just remember the sweet tea.

[angel_luv]

I have a new and I think, improved job lead.

I applied today to work at Laurel Ridge, which for those of you who do not know is a treament center for trouble kids, teens, and even some adults, I believe.

I wouldn't be a counselor but more of a mentor/ staff assistant- watch out for people's safety, be eyes and ears, and hopefully a friend as well.

It is a great field for me because I relate to it. I am adopted and all my siblings, and ironically the only family I have left here, are foster siblings.

I missed my call for an interview because I was at the movies. ( I saw Lake House. Girls, it is excellent!)
But they want me to come in either tomorrow or Wednesday for an interview to discuss what positions are available.

I left a message and hope to get in there tomorrow.

I never fully listened to my rejection message from the sign shop and as a result it was still on my phone.

When I first checked my messages I thought it was that guy calling me back and I really did not want to go there.
Then I realized that it was not an option anyway.

My good news message, the real new one, was right after it- kind of symbolic of how my fortunes seem to be turning.

At any rate, I am better of now than I was this morning, so I am going to celebrate that. :D

[Old School Chic]

Angel,

It sounds awesome. God works in mysterious ways... Only he knows what job is best for you and I'm sure he will guide you there.

Good luck and don't lose faith!

Might I ask- are you in college?


You can. No, I'm not in college. I went ( and graduated) to a two year Bible College/ Leadership training program.

But that is all.


I don't have any immediate plans to attend more school but it is not out of the realm of possibility either. :)

[pache100]

Hope you get the job, angel. I think something like that would be much more challenging and satisfying for you than bussing tables at Bill Miller. But, I think you would be an asset, no matter where you worked.

Be very careful at Laurel Ridge, though. They have had legal problems several times in the past, although I have not heard anything lately.

Just out of curiosity, have you ever considered waiting tables at a regular restaurant? The reason I'm asking is that I know there have been several establishments in the Universal City/Schertz area looking for wait staff in the past month or so. I think with your personality and temperament, you could clean up working for tips. People would LOVE you!

[angel_luv]

I haven't heard of particular episodes at Laurel Ridge although it makes sense that there would be some.

Some of my foster siblings had either been there or know people who have lived there.

[angel_luv]

Interview is tomorrow at 1:00pm.

Hey Angel,

Good luck with your new lead. The mentoring job sounds great; I'm sure you will find the experience quite satisfying as well. One of my first jobs was counseling at-risk youth in a highly gang/drug infested part of Los Angeles. It’s amazing how much these kids lack someone in their lives to care and nurture them. Simple acts of kindness and respect can change and shape their life.

Keep up the aggressive job search and remember that although you may not land the job you’re applying for, the interviewing process adds to your arsenal of experience.

Good luck!
