One Less Job Opportunity...
Well, I tried applying to Spirit Telecom here in Columbia, which is a really nice place to work. They love to hire people from MTC that have their CCNA certification. Well, I have one, so I applied. My brother also applied, but a little earlier than I did.
Well, they interviewed my brother and supposedly they are pretty impressed. He quite possibly has the job already, but he'll know for sure Tuesday. The unfortunate thing is that they don't hire two people that are related. Therefore, I'm already disqualified from seeking a job there.
This kinda sucks because there are 4 openings and 3 people from MTC have gone in for an interview, including my brother. That 4th spot could've been mine...
Oh well, I know there are more companies to work for out there. However, Spirit Telecom was a rather nice place to work. It would've been nice if I could have gone to work there. I was kind of hoping to work at the same place as my brother so the whole "I don't have a car" thing wouldn't suck so bad.
If it comes down to it, I *could* rely on the bus system. However, the bus system in Columbia has been looking rather grim and they can't seem to pull tax dollars to help pay for it. They have been considering cutting bus routes as a result. (This also results in cutting the distance DART vans can go, since they are limited to a certain radius outside of bus route areas.)
On the brighter side, my brother is going to try to give me his job at MTC as lab monitor, which means I can basically get paid a lot better than what I make now and not have all the annoyances that is the PW. I may have to keep the PW job on the weekends, though. I really need as much money as I can get at this point.
