So awhile ago, i dropped off my resume for a major canadian sporting goods store called SPORT CHEK. Yesterday i got a call from them saying they want to interview me. So I go today at noon, and do my interview... it was okay, not spectacular, but i think i did okay on it. The interviewer said she'd call me tomorrow, or if not, i have to call her. This job is probably to get some experience, and some $.
So then ends the interview.
I go have lunch with my brother and my dad in the same mall, before we get to the food court, my dad sees a kiosk selling computer stuff, but it was real unique stuff. Mini 8cm CDRs/CDRWs, business card CDRs, Mini 8cm CD MP3 players, a FLASH memory USB hard disk, etc. My dad told me about the kiosk awhile ago, and showed me a brochure of the USB storage device, i was kinda impressed, but i didn't think too much of it. So today, we see it again, he says hello to the owner of the kiosk whom my dad knows quite well as i think they talked for awhile before. They talk abour the new products etc., and at the end, my dad tells the owner that if they need help, im looking for a job. The owner was like 'REALLY?!' she was really looking for help, so she says 'its $8 an hour, whaddya think?' im like 'THATS GREAT!!!' despearetly needing a job... So im supposda call her tuesday...
Now heres my dilemma... Which job should i take? SportChek might pay a bit more (im not sure), and its more professional. The Kiosk is smaller, and more flexible for me (like i might be able to read my english novel or something during non-busy hours), it could count towards my career-related work experience of 30 hours for a CAREER AND PERSONAL PLANNING course in school, and i probably have the job for sure if i call her tuesday.
If SportsChek calls tomorrow, what do i do? Do i take it, and then call on tuesday and see the situation? Do i refuse the SC job and hope i get the job at the kiosk?
Help? Im currently thinking of just refusing the SC job and get the Kiosk job if they call. If sportschek doesnt call, then even better, ill go for the computer kiosk one.
