And the job search goes on

I've decided the next step in my life will be moving to Salt Lake City from where I am presently living in Utah so I have been jobhunting and actually had a couple of interviews already. One was for a tanning salon at which I thought I would be answering the phones, cleaning the tanning beds, helping customers, and keeping the place clean, but noooo.... It was a sales scam which I started to realise when I came in for the interview and it started with a sales presentation. About half an hour into the group interview I decided that this was definitely not for me so I raised my hand and said "I'm sorry this job is not for me" and then left. The second interview was with a hotel reservation company call center which was the one I really wanted to get because I love to travel so I think working in a call center doing hotel reservations would be really fun. It paid 10 bucks an hour plus commissions for upselling hotel packages such as selling a breakfast package with a hotel room. The interview went really well and they wanted to hire me after I scored in the top two on their call center assessment tests but unfortunately their training class had just filled up and their next class wouldnt be starting till sometime early next year. So they gave me their business card and told them to give them a call early in January and I would have an extremely good chance at getting hired on with them. What I also liked about their location is that it was pretty close to the trax stop (Utahs high speed lightrail) so I could get their via public transportation and save a lot on gas and also do my body some good by walking more. Thats one thing I really like about Salt Lake, you can usually get most places easily by public transportation and a bit of walking.

But onto continuing my job hunt. I just saw another job posting with another company that does hotel reservations internationally that I intend to put in an application to.
