Wish Me Luck

[TapperMike]

I'm going in for a second interview at a local restaurant tomorrow.

 

For those in need of a recap...

My hours were cut below where I could afford to live last year.  I worked at a sports bar trying to put money away when a fire came along and closed the place.  Since then I've been scraping by between my current part time status (which won't last long) and my savings (which I've just about completely tapped out.

 

 

The place I'm interviewing at - http://www.baysidesportsgrill.com/

 

I had worked at that location (different owners / different staff) from 1990 till 2002

I'm feeling positive for ya Mike.

[justsoulin]

You certainly deserve it mate

 

I sincerely hope it works out for you.

 

I know only too well how 'getting by' to follow your passion works.

[Janeva]

All the best and good luck!

[Mahesh]

Good luck Mike. Looking forward to some good news from your side

[scotsman89]

good luck mike

[TapperMike]

Thanks, all.

 

I thought I was a shoe in but alas, no call back.  Funny I worked at that location (different owners different name) for 12 years. Even had a buddy of mine who worked there way back when put in a good word for me... Nothing.

[Rudi]

 ouch....

Part of it is agism. And the other part is being out of the industry for so long.  Last year I only worked a few months at the sports bar before it closed and prior to that I'd been out of the field for 10 years.  Oddly when I was in the industry I cooked for almost 30 years

[Mahesh]

I'm sure there is something better out there for you Mike!

 

Wishing you well.

 

Mahesh

[Rudi]

Hey there Mike.

 

Anything happening?

[TapperMike]

No job offers I've been banging on doors like mad.

This from my boss

 Unfortunately things have really slowed down in recent months so we're looking at closing things down permanently.  For the time being continue with support, and we'll let you know in advance when the shutdown happens.

So I'll see maybe one more paycheck from him but it may not be my usual monthly"

You cant do more than try. It sounds consuming though.

 

Hope your luck changes before too much longer mate.
