Trying to Get a Job as a Parts Person (Again!)

It has been ten years since I finished high school and since then I have worked behind the parts counter at our local car parts store.  It was an easy job for me since I grew up fixing cars with my dad, so it was a logical choice for me when it came time to decide what to do with my life.  Though some may think that I could have done better with my life, I do enjoy going to work every day, so I think that I did alright.

Business at our little part shop was good - or at least I thought it was.  But as it turns out, the owner was charged last week for tax evasion and the shop was shut down.  I found myself without a job for the first time in ten years, and had to type up a resume for the first time in a long time.

I decided to take my resume down to the local Mitsubishi parts department.  My buddy Mike has been working there for six months and he let me know that they were looking for someone to fill a recently vacated position, so I thought it was worth a try.  I was welcomed with open arms and told that they would get back to me once they were ready to do interviews which seemed like a positive reaction to me.

But, I am not one to put all of my eggs in one basket, so I headed down to the Ford parts department at the ford dealership and applied there as well.  It actually sounds like I might have more luck there, but I will have to wait and see.

Whatever the outcome, I guess it is nice to have a break from working for a few weeks.  I just hope that it isn’t long before someone hires me as I don’t want to deplete all of my savings - I was hoping to use the savings for a down payment on a house someday.
