Thank you Kari...I believe it was "Divine Inspiration", because I've never heard or used that phrase before! lol I've been a part of CoolWorks for three years, but just updated on the new site. Thanks to CW, I obtained a really neat position at the Lost Creek Guest Ranch outside of Jackson Hole two years ago!
Hi Kari!...here's the scoop on my Chocolate job. I have been selected to be the Hershey's Merchandising Representative for Katy Texas (just West of Houston). This is a 20hr/wk, Mon-Thur job working from 9am to 2pm. I will get Fri, Sat, Sun off each week. They will pay me an hourly rate+mileage+quarterly performance bonuses. There is also a possible yearly bonus and access to group health insurance. This will likely take me out of the CW seasonal work market for a while, but sounds fun and different. I will establish relationships with store managers and help them maximize their sales of Hershey products (now who doesn't just love Hershey's Chocolate?) My daughter is due with our second grandchild next month, so I need to stay close to home the next few months and support her. Looks like Alaska will need to wait until 2011....but it is definitely still a target for me. I also plan to go back to New Zealand in the Fall of 2011 to visit my oldest son. Many exciting adventures to look forward to!
Thanks Kari, It was one of my favorite SHRA conferences, informative, picked up some helpful tips for next season, a lot of fun activities and as always, an opportunity to reestablish friendships. But by far the high point was the visit to the shack.
Thanks for your comment. The pic I'm using here is from when I worked at the South Rim the first time over a year ago. I forgot the name of the building, but it's the one adjacent to the mule stable, and across from Victor Hall. The longest icicles on that building looked to be at least four feet long.
hi kari, thanks for what you do. hope to talk to you soon. i will be in ste till at least the 30th (told nancy that i want to be at the funhouse on the 31st). anyway, i owe you at least a coffee, i do chocolatta on 45th. let you know when i am in town. jon
