I went looking for my dough job last week, and didn’t find any real prospects, though I did find one shop that may train me when business dies down in mid-January. It’s possible that there were other shops that would have hired or trained me, but those weren’t the places I would like to learn from. If I wasn’t able to easily talk to the owner/manager/chef, I quickly lost interest. I want to learn how to make pizza from someone who gives a crap.
Meanwhile, on Craigslist, I had been firing off my resumes to anything that looked interesting/not too soul sucking. I got a call back this Monday from a company that demonstrates products for (I’m assuming) the holiday shopping orgy. So if all goes well this weekend, I’ll be getting paid to play with toy helicopters in public. I really feel bad for people with real jobs.
