Daily Thoughts

[Jackie A Paulson]

The other day I went to fill out job applications. I won't say where but I have to tell you about my experiences. The first place I went to the girl told me to be at the location at 9am to fill out an application. It was far to drive but I wanted to follow protocal. Did I have a professional Resume? Why yes I did. Did she ask for it or want it, nope. So, I filled out the application. As I was doing so, the young girl was chit chatting with either a friend or co worker as I filled out my application. It was down right rude, but considering the age of this girl what did I expect right? I guess my age of 43 speaks volumes. Anyhow, she did not call me or inquire about me. But I did fill out an online application for this same company at this location and the owner called me to inquire if I wanted full or part time work. I said full time because I have 20 years experience. The owner told me to call that girl and tell her we talked and see if she can work me in their schedule part time on the weekends. I put my decison on hold.
Then I went to another location and the lady over 40 years old was so rude, I would not want to work there. Both of these women were " all about me" attitude. It's so sad. Then as I was lost trying to go in and out of buildings to get to my car; two men were handing everyone a green little book. I knew exactly what it was, a bible. So, to make this clear let me tell you this was a popular College. As I walked across the building (lost) every one of those people who took a bible set them down on tables everywhere. So, from one end of the hall to the other...I was the only one who Kept the bible. This got me to thinking. Wow, a generation that needs guidance and soul winning. I was so sad that nobody cared. Jesus died on the cross to bare out sins so that we could live a life on earth to glorify Him. I continue to try to do this, and I am stuck and cannot find work.

I also went to two other places in person to fill out applications and go the un friendly H E L L O! IF you catch my drift. So, talk about customer service. There is none, or very few. I meet more friendly people on facebook, bookblog, myspace, and other groups and communities than in the real world. Why is that?

It just amazes me, all of this. This is the opinion of the writer and not intended to offend anyone. I have to write the way I feel and the way I want to write. Please forgive me if I have offended anyone here.
