employment, or something

Last night I had the interview for a possible second job. I'll be interested to see if I get it, because I think interviewing for a permanent part-time job is a completely different beast from interviewing for a permanent full-time job. Besides which, I've never interviewed for a permanent part-time job before. I think it went reasonably well, but we shall see. I may have put my foot in it by saying I could start on the 28th as opposed to immediately, but I'm not giving up my previously planned vacation for a part-time job I might not even get. Supposedly they'll know by the end of the week who they're going to hire (there are two slots they're trying to fill).

Second-job interviews are interesting because I don't have to care about a lot of things that are vitally important for a full-time job, like benefits and time off and all that sort of stuff. It's extra money, more or less, so I find that the idea of taking a day off and not getting paid for it doesn't bother me. I may be shooting myself in the foot, thinking that way, but who knows?

The problem with a lot of the part-time stuff out there is that if you've already got a full-time job, ain't no way you can get the schedules to work. I wouldn't mind being a dog walker, except that all the dog walker positions are 10 AM - 2 PM or similar, and that won't work. And I don't have a car, so that lets about half of the dog walking jobs out anyway. I know why I would need one, but I need the second job if I'm ever going to be able to afford the car to begin with...

Never mind. The point is, there may be light at the end of the tunnel, and if there isn't, I'll have to find a torch somewhere else.

I've always had better luck with interviews when there was more than one position open.
