Possible Job...Good luck needed!

**Alysser** · 02-01-2011, 05:49 PM

So as you guys know, I've been working at an amusement park for 3 years now, the first season I hated it because I was in an awful department - second and third season I loved it because I loved my co-workers. Well all that changed toward mid-summer when I began getting fed up with some of the Supervisors and treatment of the workers...and my friends all leaving. Ok so anyway...

I have been looking for a job for over a month, applied to about 13 places including Pizza Hut, Target, Petsmart, Petco, etc. etc. I've been dying to find an animal job, as desperate as I was I looked on the local park system website for job listings. They barely ever have Job listings on that website. Well I see all these summer camp positions and then I read "Camp Woof" - pretty self-explanatory. A summer camp for dogs sort of a doggy day care, but it only said dates for one week. I e-mailed the name on the site and she said she's looking for at least 2 full-time positions and she was really happy I was interested. I e-mailed her my credentials and she said "Please send me an application - to my attention", that is a good thing, right? This has me REALLY excited - I know I'm getting ahead of myself but I'm just hoping this is the right job for me. I need a job for the summer at least and if I am working with dogs this will be awesome for a resume.

I'm sorry for this long post, I am just excited and VERY hopeful

I will definitely keep you updated.

Oh, this sounds fantastic, and I sure hope it works out for you.. and I sure hope it's for longer than one week, too!

Good luck Alysser - it sounds like a lot of fun!

**Freckles** · 02-01-2011, 07:24 PM

Then perhaps there are several weekly camps?

Fingers and paws crossed here for you Alyssa!

Sounds like a dream job! Best of luck to you!

**Catty1** · 02-01-2011, 08:39 PM

Fingers crossed! And even if it is just one week, maybe this lady knows of others.

Good luck!

Well she said she was looking for at least 2 full-time "Camp Woof" staff members. I mean, obviously, there are people more qualified then me, but even if I just got the week position I would be happy - it could lead to something else. It's just weird how I was desperately looking for a job and this pops up. I just want this job more then anything, especially the "full-time" position. IF not I can always do the other camps, but I hope I get Camp Woof. This is the job I've been looking for.
