Oh LEGO of my LEGO

Before I started to work at LL I had a job at a Lego Store. I worked at the one in Anaheim at the downtown disney area from August 2004 to November 2006 only leaving because we moved out of the area. I was hired on the spot because the manager liked me. Its still one of my top favorite places to have ever worked. I had tons of friends. And when I left they gave me a cake and flowers I was so loved :) Although I am fb friends with some of my former co-workers I often wonder about those I never got back in touch with...

SO with that in my mind I have tried to get back on with the company a few times now.

1. In 2010 while living in AZ (they had NO lego stores in TN but do now) they opened a brand new Lego store up. Had I known what I found out afterwards I would have contacted my former store and the manager there was going to be at the job openings and I could have maybe gotten hired on. But anyways. The interviews were done in a group. My sister also interviewed but the manager was very interested in me. I was a former employee with a good standing record (I later learned this) and was very much rehireable. The interview went well enough he acted like he wanted to hire me. I worked hard to get my number from a check stub I still had, and then I worked to contact him again. But for some reason that I will never fully understand I was never able to get in contact with him. I tried him by phone and by email. But no one contacted me. By time I finally got someone to talk to me they had hired all the people they were going to. I was heart broken.

2. However I still had enough heart to try for the Lego Store by us. It was in the Chandler Mall for Holiday season. I went in there and interviewed. The interview went well. I even brought my number I still had. I was excited thinking they would take me on. But for some reason they decided not to contact me or hire me. The interview went well. I think they remembered me and thought I was a pest for trying for the first job few months before and that is why I wasnt hired on. Either way I gave up after that and didnt apply anymore with them.

Since then I have tried for a few other Lego Stores since I am back in CA. I am unsure yet if I will ever get back on with Lego. But I love Lego and will never forget the job I had and the impact it made on me. Even if I never get back on with one I will never stop loving Legos. Or forget the job I loved.
