We have been here in Seattle almost six months, and aside from getting the house ready to sell(which was a lot of work), neither of us have worked. Or had any income at all. I decided to see if I could get a temporary job for the holidays since so many places are hiring here, so I filled out four online applications–Fred Meyer, Safeway, JC Penny, and Macy’s. That was on a Saturday. On Monday I got calls for interviews from Macy’s and JC Penny. Since we were in South Dakota at the time, I made appointments for Thursday and Friday. On Thursday, I went to my interview at Macy’s. It was a group-style interview, although there were only two in my group. After a few questions and some role-play, we were both offered holiday jobs. I am working at the Northgate Macy’s at the mall entrance selling their Frango candies. It should be fun, and it gives me something to do. Not to mention a paycheck every week.
