Being Persistent Pays Off

Whew! It has been a whirlwind fall lately! I have no idea where summer, let alone, October- now we've landed in November. I have some good news to share-I'm finally out of retail! I have been looking for a job for the past few months, not too seriously until about 6 weeks ago. I made a mini-goal for myself in August that I did not want to "serve" another Thanksgiving at Target. Don't get me wrong; I love Target, but having to be at the store at 4:00am the day after Thanksgiving is not something I was looking forward to.

I put my resume out there, had a few interviews that I made it to the last round for, but there was someone out there that had just a little bit more qualifications than I did. On a whim, while checking job websites, I came across an HR position at the Isle of Capri casino in Blackhawk, CO. I applied thinking nothing would happen. I got an interview the very next day (which was a Thursday) and by Monday I got a job offer!

I am so excited because I get to spend nights and weekends with Jason again. It has been 2 years of me working nights & weekends which is fine-but I was really starting to miss him! I start 11/22 and my hours are great. I will be enrolling in classes this spring and hope to finish my degree by the summer (hopefully!)

I know that things work out the way they're supposed to and I'm so thankful they did. I hope all of you out there are enjoying the crispness of fall-I can tell that snow is on the way too!

Love love!
