Its About Time...

Finally, I got a job! I contacted a temp agency a couple weeks ago and last week they sent me on an interview with Frito Lay and today they called to say they wanted to offer me the job. I just needed to go in and fill out some paper work which included info for a background check. After that I had to go for drug testing. Apparently things have changed and you no longer need to pee in a cup. They take a lock of your hair and it was a lot. It was about 1/2 to 1 inch in width and a few inches long. Crazy I tell ya! So once the background check and drug test results come back they will determine my start date.

So the position is a Project Coordinator and is temp to perm. It is for 5 mos and most likely will go permenant. In my interview I found out that most of the people that are in the dept came on board the same way thru the same temp agency and they are all perm now. As Project Coordinator I will be working in an area that is responsible for the 100 calorie packs and munchies. Both of which are my favorite snacks. Oh and they just aquired Stacy's Pita Chips. Which on Fri after my interview I stopped at Wal-Mart and what do you think they were giving out as samples....Stacy Pita Chips. I took that as a very good sign since I was just talking about these chips in my interview. And as a bonus Pepsico owns Frito Lay and I am a diet pepsi girl. :)

So good things are happening. The money is less than what I was making, but I am ok with that since this is really the opportunity I was looking for...a great company, a big company, a new industry to learn, and its in a great location. Only about 10 min from my house. Cant beat that!
