So you think being a college student with a 4.0 GPA will help you get a seasonal summer job? WRONG! ...well at least for me.
I worked for a certain company (no names mentioned) for four years throughout my high school career. I worked nights, weekends, and holidays. You name it, I worked it. After my four years of service it was time for me to go off to college. I signed a paper stating that I would return the following summer as a full time seasonal employee. The year passed and i received a 4.0 GPA. However when it was time to return to work for the summer they generously appologized and said..."we CAN'T take you back." Apparantley they had hired too many employees over the span of that year and had no room for a DEDICATED long time employee like myself. Well of course I was upset...not so much about the job itself but about the absence of a paycheck. College kids work all summer and save (or try to save) all their money for the school year when it's harder to work. I JUST WANTED TO GET PAID!!
Well this story has a good ending. It turns out that summer I got a much better job with double the hourly pay rate!
