JOB DESCRIPTION INTERNAL AUDITOR

When I got to this place, I felt awkward until the manager & I started talking about the planting & cultivating of strawberries. I did know about growing strawberries from our own home garden.

To my surprise when I was getting ready to leave, the plant manager asked me if I was looking for work. I told him that I was truly interested in seeing firsthand about this strawberry farm, really, not a nursery.

1. Finally, I had the presence of mind to tell him that I was looking for work at some date. He & I made an appointment to have me come in & talk to him & the owner. I was confused then but agreed to come back anyway.
2. After this experience I made up my mind that I wanted to work & working here with my background seemed to be a good fit. I was determined to go back & ask for a job, even though that was not what I thought had happened when I was there. To sum up what I have learned from all of this it is:

1. I have skills I didn't recognize. 2. Potential employers are not "meanies" who are rude. 3. I now know what a resume is and how one can help or hinder me in the job search.

4. Job hunting is not always a hard or hurtful experience.

5. I feel better about myself in knowing that employers do hire older workers. I think I just found one.

Gee whiz! I never thought I would have to look for a job again, but I do. unny that no one taught or told me that savings don't last forever. I'm in that "pickle!" Besides savings running out, I feel better working!

That idea goes again the grain of American culture. People of a certain age re encouraged to find fun things to do and not work at a job! Work is an American dirty word! But I want to feel productive, make money, be around ounger folks and have some fun times at WORK.
