Tomorrow I have two interviews, and I'm very indecisive on which place I should work at; it's between working at:
1) An independently owned coffee bar/café.. it's a smaller, intimate place with a positive atmosphere. I will start out on register, and then they will gradually teach me how to make all the coffees, sandwiches etc.
2) A chain outdoor store; think REI, only not as widespread. It's also a smaller store, but definitely bigger than the coffee place. I'll probably be a sales associate/cashier.
They are like one block away from each other, so distance isn't a factor.
I've worked both before; I've done jobs where I have to work with food, clean etc.. and I've also done jobs in retail.
For some reason, I cannot decide; I didn't expect both to contact me for an interview!
My main qualities I want is:
1) A positive place to work where I can help customers, but also have my own space
2) A place that will benefit me going forward; if I move etc, to have some valuable experience that can help me get other jobs.
These aren't long-term jobs; but it's very important that I find somewhere I enjoy working at.. my current job just drags on and I can't wait to leave everytime I work. I'm in a tough season in life, so this is important that I find somewhere uplifting.
Just looking for some advice, to bounce some ideas around etc
