So I went to Cougar Creations, printed up a few copies of my resume (one for the pizza place, a couple others just to have on hand), and went downtown.\u00a0 Unfortunately, the pizza place was closed, so I decided to come back later and run up to Pioneer Books instead.<\/p>\n I walked in, put The Chronicles of Narnia<\/em> on the desk, and asked the cashier what they’d take for it.\u00a0 She asked for me to hold on while she got her manager.<\/p>\n All of a sudden, I realized that this was my perfect in to ask if they had any job positions opening up soon.\u00a0 I’d already planned to ask (since hey, it doesn’t hurt), but I hadn’t expected to talk with the manager.<\/p>\n Well, it turns out that I recognized the manager from when I’d come with my brother in law over Christmas break.\u00a0 We chatted a bit, I asked if there were any positions opening in the next couple months, and he said that there might be, so I should probably come back and drop off a resume.<\/p>\n Guess what I happened to have in my jacket pocket?<\/p>\n Most of the employees are students, so when April comes around and most of the students go home, some positions might very well open up.\u00a0 And hopefully, I was able to leave a professional enough impression that they’ll call me back.\u00a0 Wish me luck!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" So over the weekend, I saw this ad on the Provo craigslist for a pizza delivery position, and decided to walk in on Monday and ask about it.\u00a0 But I didn’t want to make the trip without doing some other errands, too.

<\/a>A little bit about Pioneer Book: it is the awesomest used bookstore in Utah Valley.\u00a0 While I was in college, I used to go there at least three or four times a semester, often with friends.\u00a0 Half the books I owned before I left for DC came from there, and even now, I find myself going back often.\u00a0 Great place.<\/p>\n<\/a>Man, Pioneer Book would be an awesome<\/em> place to work.\u00a0 It’s a bookish job, with bookish people, in a city full of college students, working with books…man, if I could make enough money,\u00a0 I might even postpone teaching English in Asia.<\/p>\n
