My job provider did something and got me an interview for tomorrow close-ish by, warehouse pick packer.
I'm just happy to have an interview, and this job can really help me with the rent increase starting this month.
Edit: thank you for the kind messages! Watch me slay tomorrow π β¨
Go for it. The love of money may be the root of all evil, but not having enough of the stuff makes a lot of things seem a lot worse than they actually are. Pick packing is not fun, but could be a stepping stone to better things.
Exactly! I'm not even upset if I stay a while (if they even pick me), I'll just be happy to be in a better position than I am right now. We gotta be grateful for the small things :)

Go kill it girl.
Good luck! The main job of warehouses is to get the right stock, in the right quantity, into the right boxes/pallets, and ship it to the right address. So in the interview emphasise things like you have good attention to detail, and are accurate with work given to you, you will always ask rather than assume if you canβt find what you need etc. Also mention that you can get along with all kinds of people. Warehouse demographics are a melting pot of cultures and walks of life.
Thank you for the advice! I have those transferable skills, I'll try to emphasise them :3 I really appreciate this!
I got a big bag of creatine in Springy if you need some.
Loooooooool I'll hit you up if I need it π
Get it, girl!
And uhh, if you need fake references I'm happy to make something up. I've worked in a few warehouses. on time, turns up, doesn't complain. When asked for a fault I usually say they eat meat which no interviewer wants to touch for a simple job reference.
Hahah loool you're awesome man, if I need a reference I'll let you know! Much appreciated π
π€ You got this :)
My last pick packer job co-worker gave me a giant bag of mushies he picked and all the things, everything really looked quite nice for a while there.
Oooo free mushies!? #winning
