If you don't know why I'm looking for another job, read my forum. I don't feel like recapping right now.
So, a friend of mine was the Head Guard (I guess one level below supervisor, or another title for it, but whatever, he was seniority) at Great Wolf Lodge, Wisc Dells, and upon hearing I was fired from the Wilderness he recommended I apply there, since they never hire foreigners in seasonal jobs (if they move to American, obviously they don't bar them from employment) and as such always need help, and I should get hired easily having lifeguarding experience and certification.
After my trip to Mall of America, I have about $5 to my name, so it finally hit me that I need a job before Feb 4th or I can't play WoW (I'm not as obsessed with WoW as that makes it sound, but I'm just saying that's how broke I am), remembered how much fun having a job and money was, and decided to go all out "need job or bust", so I put some real priority into getting a job.
I walked into human resources at Great Wolf, and here's a watered down fifteen minutes. (Note: April = HR secretary or whatever they are, but "April" is easier to type)
April: Hey, how can I help you?
Joe: Are you currently hiring lifeguards?
April: We sure are.
Joe: Can I get an application please?
* Starts filling it out, five minutes later:
Joe: Hey.. I used to work at the Wilderness but I don't know their address..
April: Ah, that's just fine. Out of curiosity, what did you do there?
Joe: I was a lifeguard, so I'm already certified and everything.
April: Oh, cool! I do the hiring for most of the lifeguards.. Would you like to set up an interview tomorrow?
So, from there we worked out a good time (4:45 PM) and I finished filling out my application (I'm not a felon, I'm not 18, I can get to work, sign, date), turned it in and that was it. Pray to thy gods and sacrafice whatever you want to cook for dinner tomorrow, or just wish me luck.
