I was a Woodwind Instructor getting paid $10 per 30 minute lesson. I had that job from Nov 2005-June 2006 (quit because the commute wasn’t worth what I was getting paid…and other reasons). She called me and offered me the job so she could advertise the whole State thing to draw new students in.

I worked for my mom at $5/h doing household stuff. I did that until recently when I got an interview with Dillards. I applied there early June.

Well, apparently I didn’t get the job because I still haven’t heard anything from them and the interview was two weeks ago. I would have made $8/h plus $2 per person I could get to apply for a store credit card, though…oh well. I’m still holding out hope that they’ll hire me for August since it’s a busy month for department stores, but I know it won’t happen .

I also applied to Best Buy, Old Navy, RadioShak, Books-a-Million, and Alltel. I tried to apply to Sitell about the same time as I did the others, but couldn’t because I hadn’t graduated HS at that point…it was only a week before, and I was looking for summer work, anyway. I figured working for a company that dumb would be hell, so I never went back. By that time, I was sick of dealing with applications and junk.

My main problem with getting a job was that all the ones I applied to required people to be 18 to work for them, and I applied when I was 17 (June birthday). They’d pretty much already filled all the summer positions by time they’d even think about interviewing me. Sucks.
