A Possible New Job

I've been looking for a job at a bakery around Louisville for a while now. There are 12 of them around here, and I have looked into three so far. The first one was called Cake Flour, and although they at first told me they were hiring, they were in the middle of moving to a new location, and by the time they got there they realized they didn't have enough room for anyone else in their kitchen. I then was recommended to Blue Dog Bakery by one of my chef instructors, but upon visiting, I realized that they were only looking for full-time workers and my school hours conflicted with their hours. Finally, I came upon Heitzman Traditional Bakery which has been around for 123 years and is family owned. The manager talked to me for a long time about my inspiration for baking and decorating and my dreams of designing and creating wedding cakes. The training had to be pushed off until after Easter, but I finally get to start tomorrow! I'm so excited and nervous, yet overall just greatful for this amazing opportunity. It's hard to get into these bakeries since there aren't too many and there are lots of pastry majors from Sullivan looking for jobs. Plus, bakeries don't hire that many people and have some interesting hours that make it hard to work around going to school. So thank goodness I found this place and the manager liked me!
