Apple
Sooo... about a monthish ago I decided it would be a good idea for me to go back to work since Desi is in school and all. And plus having the extra income would be good to have again. I've loved being a stay at home mom. It's been a blast. But with Desi in school it gets a little boring. Plus, things haven't worked out the way we wanted them to with getting Isaac more often unfortunately. Hopefully that will change in the near future. And at that point we will figure something else out. So anyway... I decided that I would just use my career searching website that I used when I was previously trying to find a job:
My tactic: Find jobs I'm qualified for and apply. The nice thing about that website is that most of the jobs you search for will just go with your resume. So all you do is submit resume and you've applied for the job... Kinda nice and easy... I admittingly(is that a word??) applied to over 30 jobs. I figured it couldn't hurt anything. Well, every now and then i would come across some that I actually would be redirected to the company website and have to fill out all their application plus submit my resume... I admit, I was feeling lazy a few of the days and anytime I would come across one of those I would just say, nah.. and click out of it. Well this one Sunday I saw the 2 jobs that were for a stay at home position for Apple. When I clicked to apply I was redirected to apply on their site... At first I was going to continue to be lazy and not do it. But I figured, eh it's a stay at home job...maybe I should at least try for this one. So I applied... one of the jobs was for a Apple Service Expert and the other was an Apple Adviser. Honestly, I didn't think I would get either but figured, what can I loose by applying. Well probably about a week or so later I received an email from one of the Apple recruiters saying that they wanted to set up a time for a phone interview.. So I set it up for the next day. That phone interview went well and the guy told me he wanted to move me forward with another phone interview. That was set up for 2 days later. That went well and from that point I was set up for an in person interview (since their people were flying here to Phoenix). That was set up for a couple days later. I was so nervous... I'm never nervous for interviews. But the interview went well. And within a few days I received the email to start my background check... I started to get my hopes up and a little excited... But then when I didn't hear anything for over a week and half I began to doubt. So today I received a call from one of the guys offering me the job!!!! So I will be an Apple Service Expert and the best part is I get to work from home!!!! I will be making almost a dollar more than I was when I left my old job. And the best part-I won't have to be using up tons of gas and mileage on my car!! WOOO HOOO!!! I'm sooooo excited! This totally made my crappy week that I have had so much better! I can't wait to be able to still be at home and actually be working! :-)
