In an effort to improve my situation and overcoming my grief of the recent death of my mother, I’m in the process of looking for a different job and to increase what I’m saving and investing. After leaving Safeway, an Albertson’s store, I started working for Walmart’s curbside pickup service which payed $3 more an hour and offered a 6% match after working there for a year. But, still looking for opportunity, something that will at least be tolerable if not more and help provide for a better future and retirement.

Just responded to an email from a temp agency that has a job opening for $2.25 an hour more than what I’m making at Walmart, but sounds like the hours are negotiable, with a minimum of 4 hours a day. Hoping to find out what I am able to get from them while providing a service for the company they’re the middle man for. Location for the job would be in a suburb of Chicago called Buffalo Grove. Should be able to save while in the interview and prospect stages.

Walmart’s curbside pickup position is good for the fact that I get to move around a lot more than I have as a cashier for the past 6 years. The email that I responded to would provide the opportunity I would like to have to live in the Chicago area while working to increase my future ability to become less reliant on SSI or other forms of dependence. It would be nice to live in the area again as well.
