"We don't need any new people at this time," isn't exactly something you want to hear from a possible employer. Even though it's not fun to hear, it will lead you in a different direction. If you're lucky, it will be the right direction. When I heard this from Clamshell Beach Resort, I truly didn’t expect it. However, when I started working at a job that I didn’t want, learning more about myself and the value of hard work was what I anticipated least.
Going into my job interview at Clamshell, I was laid-back. I assumed they needed workers, so I figured I would be hired.

Additionally, it provides me with the satisfaction of a job well done. The best sight one can see at Whitefish is a barn full of clean carts. The rejection from Clamshell didn’t cross my mind that often until they called me in late July. They explained that they had a lot of college students leaving early, and they wanted my help for the rest of the summer. I was hesitant, but I decided I might as well go help; it's always a good thing to be saving money for gas and college. Even though I have ended up enjoying working there, it has never provided the same satisfaction that working at Whitefish did.
I never expected to learn that I enjoy hard work as long as it is rewarding. If I had just been accepted at Clamshell right away, I probably wouldn't have had this same experience. A good work ethic is definitely something that everyone should develop at some point. Also, it's a good thing to enjoy the satisfaction of getting a job done well, rather than just the praise received from
