Back in May/June (I can't quite remember) I applied for a job at Peppers, another local resort as an assistant food and beverage manager. I had a good interview and she told me that I was her number one candidate and the job was 99% mine. Great! Or so I thought..
We went on our overseas trip for 6 weeks and when I returned I had a second interview with the general manager to confirm my position. Well, the GM decided the other candidate was better and overruled the food and beverage managers decision so I didn't get the job.
I was upset at first but if it wasn't meant to be, it wasn't meant to be. I continued to plug away at Shoal Bay Resort where I currently was. I do love the people I work with but I felt like there was no room for me to grow within that company and I was getting bored.
I applied for a job at a local golf course and didn't get the position I was hoping for, but I was hired as a casual to work my way up into something more as their company expanded. For the time being, I was planning on working two jobs.
Just two days before I was supposed to start at the golf course, I got a call from the food and beverage manager at Peppers who told me she had a supervisor position opened and she wanted to offer the job to me before she posted the job publicly. Barney and I discussed it and the next day I accepted the job!
I gave Shoal Bay one weeks notice and tonight is my last shift there! I'm so happy to be starting something new that will keep my mind active so I don't get bored. I'm also really sad to be leaving my current job. I love the people I work with there and have formed some great friendships. We even had our wedding reception there! Thankfully it's still close by and I can also pop in to say hello.
And the best part? My commute has gone from 12 minutes (one way) to just 3 minutes! (Sorry all you city folks!) Got to love a quick commute :)
So change is happening around here and I'm excited to start a new adventure!!
Change is good, right?
(Google Peppers Anchorage Resort, its beautiful!)
