Hey, audience
How are you? I just wanted to update you guys about what’s been going on so far in my life. It’s been a week into school and I’m already drowning in work. I have 1 big quiz tomorrow and another tiny one. I’ve been studying for both and being proactive has definitely helped.
Also, I wanted to let you guys know, even though I got hired at my internship, I declined it. As you guys know, I was so excited about my internship position at a pharmacy. It’s been over a week and a half and they have taken a lot of time processing my application. I went ahead and emailed HR and they told me that my manager had to do certain things to my application. After calling the manager and the store manager many times, there has been general miscommunication on both ends regarding my application either being found, or not found by one person and not the other.
After a few frustrating calls, canceled drug appointments, and unprofessional discussion, I decided to tell them to not consider my application anymore. On top of that my school commitments have piled up. I can finally breathe. I’m glad I was able to see the general dysfunction of an unhealthy business prior to stepping foot into it.
I called the manager and he responded, “Yeah, I sent it to them (HR) 3 times!” followed by a “Alright, you have a good day then.” *Click*. I was not offended, but I was disappointed and upset. I was upfront and told them I cannot uphold their hour requirements since it has been taking so long. Considering they did not know how to process my application and were not proactive to call or email them, it was a sign I should not work there.
As of right now, I am focusing on tutoring 3 subjects where I’m making a decent amount of money each week, and my studies. I’m also deciding on cutting down my commitments in my fraternity as well and focusing on relaxing.
I know as of right now I am not in a good place to probably put my foot through the door and go through another wild ride of trying to find a job, so for now I am focusing on studying and relaxing. I did send one final application to another pharmacy, but I just wanted to let everyone know.
Sometimes you get so close to wanting to achieve a goal, you forget the standards you set for yourself. This pharmacy did not give me the hours I wanted or exhibit a positive work place environment either. Never lose sight of your dignity on the road to success and speak up for yourself. No on else will.
See you, guys! As always let your positive comments flow below! ❤
