Good evening you guys! I just wanted to pop in here and tell you about some recent developments in my everyday life.
As you guys all know I'm a food maker, photographer, and writer so as you can see, I like to stay very busy. Recently I've been scouting so possible job opportunities to add even more variety to my day and then to my posts for you guys. That's why I applied at last weekend's job fair at Schweitzer Mountain Ski Resort here in Sandpoint Idaho where I'm currently spending the summer. I must say it was like a ghost town up there compared to when I last came, but that's because they haven't opened yet. As soon as summer season starts that place will be hopping.
Okay here's the thing, I am so indecisive guys and I need your help. I applied to about 4 positions and I got offers from 2 of them already! The problem is that I really like the sound of them both but they are sort of different. The first is a serving/waitressing spot at the Chimney Rock and the second is a job at their adorable little soup and sandwich cafe called Gourmandie. I'm leaning towards the latter for the fact that I know I've got plenty of experience in that type of thing (wink wink😉 ).
So, I'm asking you for your opinion on what I should choose. Tomorrow I'm meeting with the executives at Schweitzer to make my decision but I wanted you guys all to give me your thoughts first. Which one, that's the question??? Chimney Rock or Gourmandie Cafe?
not to sway your decision, but something about Gormandie just looks super cozy and wonderful. :))

Wow, nice sharing. You are really a photographer..I mean the photo is just great. For your job chosing, I have never been to there, so cannot give you much advice. But I think you should talk a bit more to the employer to understand the job nature, the working style before you really chose one.

Go for the one which will give you the most new experience (in places that you actually want to develope experience in) or pick the one which you think you'll enjoy the most. The latter sounds great, but that's me personally and I'm not you!

I would definitely go with the Gourmandie Cafe @gringalicious, as you get to keep up your cooking practice. instead of just handing out dishes.
Also you can keep making pictures of the food you create on the job, and write blog posts when you get back home :)
Are you taking this as a part-time thing? Because your blog seems to be kind of successful no?

I'd suggest Gourmandie. I have never eaten at any restaurant there though, and I haven't even been to Schweitzer in about 15 years. Back when I used to ski regularly, I spent the vast majority of my time on Mt. Spokane.

I'm not YOU, of course... but since you asked; I would definitely take the smaller place gig... in general, smaller venues draw people more likely to linger which-- in a ski resort-- will most likely mean better tips. Just a thought...

Congratulations on the new job offers, @gringalicious!! Soup & sandwich café sounds like a more relaxed option in terms of the working environment and probably more in line with your own interests and passions? It seems like you're already leaning that way, so hopefully it will be the right choice for you! :) But, no matter what you choose, I wish you the best of luck with your new job!

in 1st option there's a lot of ching ching sound of tip... so i guess you'll get some extra amount other then your salary but you'll be more busy compare to 2nd option and also in 1st option you have to deal with more people then the 2nd option and i just hate public dealing... hate hate hate....
i hope these points will help a little O.o

Hey gringa - if you are going to be serving at either, then Chimney rock will probably earn you more $ based on your descriptions. However, Gourmandie sounds like it may be your speed (total assumption though)....so I guess the question is which more important your time or your money? ;-)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

It's not about the money, it is about the experience. So, I am leaning heavily to Gourmandie. If it were about money, I'd do more steemit posts instead.
