Jared in his new work clothes... some how he still managed to get a camo hat!
On Saturday, Feb 19 we were taking a bit of a breather from all the unpacking, Jared quickly looked up what new jobs had been posted, just as he had been doing for months.
This time a job was posted from Northern Acreage Supply for a yard manager. This one sounded really exciting because last time we were up in PG we had gone to Northern Acreage to check it out, it was a really neat store that had most of what you needed for a hobby farm.
For the next little bit Jared quickly put together a resume for that job and early afternoon we dropped it off. While we were there Jared had a great conversation with the main sales man there, but the boss was outside on the forklift so we were not able to talk to him. Once the conversation was over we went outside to look around the yard a little more. While we went out the boss must of come in, because a few minutes later the lead sales man came back out saying that Jared should come back on Monday for a interview! Jared was so excited I'm surprised he fell asleep that night.
On Monday the interview went really well. But they said they were waiting on one other resume and would call him back, if he got the job then he could start on Friday. This was still quite positive news, but it wasn't a yes or no, it was still a maybe, which drives Jared bonkers....
An hour later, just as Jared was coming home from some errands, the boss called, apparently the boss's wife had been listening in on the interview (very small office so that wasn't hard to do) and had given the boss a talking to for letting Jared walk away! He then proceeded to ask if Jared could start working tomorrow! So 4 whole days after we got to PG Jared already had a job lined up!!!! I definitely think God was keeping that one in his back pocket for him!
Anyway now that he has been working at Northern Acreage for a whole week I can give a bit of a better job description. Northern Acreage is a small company of about 8-10 people, so everyone knows a little bit about everything. Jared's main responsibility is making sure the feed warehouse is organized and stocked, and the yard stays as organized as possible. His other duties include but are not limited to:
- putting together tractor attachments
- forklift maintenance
- assembling bee keeping supplies
- assembling tractors
- clearing snow off the yard
- unloading trucks that come in with supplies
- loading customers up with their orders
- helping customers find what they need in the store or yard (I'm sure he can try sell them on stuff too 🙂)
- and another random jobs that the boss would like him to do!
Over all there hasn't been a dull or same day there yet! And you are always expected to be learning something new! They are super happy and impressed with Jared, they say that he is a fast learner and a good worker!
Jared has been happy with the job too, he comes home tired, but happy and everyday he feel very blessed to have a job that fits him so perfectly!
