I applied online at PetCo
Funny thing. I had to take a "psych" test (online). You know, where they
ask you if you'd steal pens or whatever and would you report someone if they were stealing? And do you ever get stressed? Of course I get stressed; who doesn't? And of course I'd report someone who was stealing. Hello. It's a pet supply store. They sell birds and fish. Sometimes they have adoptions for cats and dogs, but mostly it's birds and fish. I know about pets. I had a dog who lived for almost 18 years. I had a small goldfish who lived for 9 years, pretty remarkable for a small fish if you ask me. I've had birds since 1966. Persia came to me in 2001 and she seems to be pretty happy with her situation given that she sleeps on a big soft bed with me, has her own furniture, lots of toys, etc. Oh, and she boops me. LOL If that's not a happy cat, I don't know what is. Peaches the lovebird isn't hurting for toys or attention, either. She's got some new wooden beads I strung for her and she's happily grabbing at them and chewing... hookbills chew on wood. It's what they do So I can't wait to get the results back from this "test"... probably turn out I'm a serial killer. You can say you knew me when. Jill |

I think one of the things they're looking for, at least from my experience
applying for work at a different nationwide pet supply chain, PetSmart, is that employees will be conscientous enough to do things like keep an eye open for the needs of ALL the animals they're selling. Even if it's not "officially" the employee's job, it's mandatory for people to at least report the situation if, say, the hamsters have run out of water. Good luck -- I hope you get a job there, so you can spoil the pets-to-be and/or help coach other people how to spoil them properly. ) Donna, Captain, and Stanley |

Will you still remember us when you're a rich and famous chef? Ha! When dinosaurs walk the earth... Having worked in several restaurants, both in front and back of the house, I can tell you the only chefs who make any money have published cookbooks galore and are featured on FoodTV. They don't have to be very good at it, either. It's not a job I aspire to! Persia just spotted a small dog walking by the front window. She's all agape and puffy tailed It always amazes me how that slender tail can suddenly poof up to 4 times normal size! Jill |

And they know they can, because they are last-resort employers for so many in this strange economy.

You will get to see those same employers scrambling to turn nice in order to keep their no longer quite minimum wage employees when the economy rights itself again. What goes around comes around and the first casualty is usually the baby hitler first line supervisors who cannot adjust to acting human. Jo |

I just want a part time job and probably just over the holidays until the art shows start up again. I don't really care about benefits or the salary. I just want to get out of the "corporate" environment where they make you carry a pager and be on call 24/7 and all that crap. I can't imagine carrying a pager selling pet supplies. Jill |
