I was hoping to get a job in a fitness center working as a personal trainer.
- I worked as a personal trainer for three years in a small town and then I decided to move to the west area.
My friends and I thought it would be awesome to live by the beach and spend the days surfing on the waves. It’s good that I had plenty of money saved before I made the move, because it took me three months to find a job. I planned to work at the fitness center so I could meet some clients and eventually work on my own. I tried to get a job as a personal trainer, but it was very difficult. In the metropolitan area, it’s the type of business where you have to know someone to get that good job. The only job I could find in a fitness center was working as the daytime locker room attendant. I didn’t want to take the intermediate job, but I thought it was the only way to get my foot in the door. It’s not a particularly fun or interesting job, but it’s the only job I could find in the industry. I really didn’t want to settle for a job in a restaurant or bar, so I am doing my best to work my way up to a better position. If I’m going to be the daytime locker room attendant at this fitness center, I’m going to be the best one that the place has ever seen. If I get recognized for employee of the month, maybe I can move up to smoothie bar attendant.
