Not long after I was laid off from our call center job last month, I figured I could simply find work in retail or something similar.
Surprisingly, since our state raised its minimum wage last year, a lot of entry level positions are either already taken or are highly competitive.
I was able to get area time work at a grocery store while I continued to look for another full time job. As numerous say, when you’re desperate for nonstop work, finding a job becomes a job itself. You get in the habit of scouring several websites as well as other posted listings to find some diamond in the rough. I had little fortune with this approach, so I decided to take a long shot as well as beginning reaching out to a few random companies. The first supplier was a songs retailer that operates a website as well as sells their inventory out of a warehouse. All sales are done electronically as well as are packaged into boxes to be shipped out one by one to clients’ homes. Unfortunately, they weren’t looking for additional help. However the fifth supplier, this time a large recreational marijuana company in our state, was looking for help at their growing facility. They needed some assistance trimming as well as packaging cannabis flower buds after they’re harvested from the cultivation rooms. Everything inside the large facility is controlled as well as set to a steady as well as consistent indoor temperature. Usually the cooling system is a bit colder than what I like, however it has to remain that way to prevent microscopic mold spores from getting on the dry flower buds. It’s taking time to finish our training, however so far I savor finally working at a marijuana farming facility.
