Job Search Part 3: Soup Kitchen

Figuring that the homeless and destitute are grateful for whatever they can get and are therefore less demanding, I applied for a job in a soup kitchen.

Although the ad stated they were looking for a Catering Manager, I decided to go along to the interview and present myself as a coffee aficionado, someone who can educate the less fortunate members of our society about espresso.

I also mentioned my wine appreciation course and offered my services as Sommelier during Christmas Lunch, provided they pay me time and a half.

The Manager informed me that they were looking for someone with more experience in a similar field, but that she would keep my resume for future reference.

On my way out I noticed that they didn't even have a coffee machine, just an industrial size tin of International Roast.
