At Indie's recommendation, I'm making a separate job thread.
So right now I've been in Oklahoma for a little more than a week, and I started job searching about 3 days ago.
My terms: I need a job that is full time, Monday to Friday 7.00 at a minimum, (minimum wage here is 5 somethin'). I cannot work weekends because that would defeat the entire purpose of me moving closer to my girlfriend who is in Denton, TX, which is about 2 1/2 hours away.
I don't intend on staying in this area for more than a year.
This is key because I'm not looking for long term work, my goal is that I'll know within 12 months where my relationship with Amy is headed.
1.) Progresses fruitfully, and we move even closer/move in with each other
2.) Things don't work out and I bail back to Philly.
I've filled out multiple applications, made countless phone calls, managed to get one interview at a Quick Lube which I turned down, and I'm going into the Goodyear Tire Factory tomorrow for an orientation. I don't know the actual monetary pay increase but it's supposed to be every 3 months.
I'm currently filling out an application for a maintenance position at an apartment (I went to tech school for building maintenance), but I'm already hesitant because they require that the 2 maintenance staff swap 24 hour-call-duty every week. Which would mean I'd have to be in the close proximity every other weekend.
That's where I'm at, I'll update you all on tomorrow's orientation.
