A lot of full-time jobs started with part-time only. Build big by starting small.

I don't mind being ID'd (I'm 19 so it's fair). It's when I'm standing beside my little sister (12) trying to buy movie tickets and they try to sell us both kids tickets. that is when I get annoyed. I might look young, but I do not look 13. .....but sometimes it's nice being able to use high school bus tickets.....

It probably doesnt help that "teenagers" on everyday tv are usually actors and actresses in thir 20's

With your foot in the door who knows where it might lead.

If you take the part time job you may very well end up in a full time position that you like.

Thanks guys! I got so many lovely, supportive messages from SCers here. I have decided that I will take on a part-time position just to get my foot in the door. It really is difficult to find a job you love nowadays and it would be a shame for me to let this opportunity go. A full-time position with this organisation is my dream job so I will set this as my long term goal and run for it!

I had a (informal) job interview today and absolutely fell in love with the organisation. They do awesome work and our community is so lucky to have them. I would be so so so thrilled to work for them. But they didn't really have any vacancies for jobs that I would like to do. So I walked away from it a bit...I dunno, confused? Let down? The ball is in my court now and I need to decide if I should just take a shot at working part-time with them, hopefully they will see my potential and dedication to want to offer me a full time one? I hate gambling.

I don't know what to think. My brain can't process anything right now.

PT job often means close to FT hours & responsibilities , just without the benefits like dental , drug plan etc.

I know lot of PT people who get 30-35 hrs/week , and the FT people get 40 hrs .

The FT people also pay more tax as they go into a higher income tax bracket , so after tax not much difference between the PT pay cheque & FT pay cheque.

Also PT , you are more flexible to do lot of other things.

Sound advice and a lot of what you said is true. You gotta start from the bottom and work your way up, which is exactly what I intend to do. Plus another thing is that you really don't know when a full-time job opening becomes available and can benefit from internal job opportunities that come up. It's a win-win situation to me. What have I got to lose??

I keep ending up in the same situation without knowing how I get there... Portia Nelson's poem is awesome and most of the time I get it but this one.. I keep going into that hole in the sidewalk..

Millie....I had to Google her to read the poem......does it mean that we cannot expect a different outcome if we repeat the same way we do things?

I did the glade aerosol buy 3 get $3.00 back on CO51 offer today, and didn't use any coupons since I had already used my two smartsource buy 2 get 1 free last week and I didn't have any glade insert coupons for aerosols. Then I got home and saw there is a BOGO glade aerosol coupon that has just been added to the right@home websaver coupon portal.

I always seem to have an eye for finding the good coupons for my purchases right after I have already made said purchase.

I just redownloaded snap after not using it forever(never anything we bought on it). Had the 4 things you mentioned in my account, which I had bought before I even looked at snap and they were removed by the time my receipt finished uploading.
