I am very interested in finding a job right now, but to be honest, I'm not sure if it will be in the food industry. The good thing about Ali Baba's Pizza is that it could be a good first job for someone (like me). I have my Food Safe Certificate and maybe they would consider me. I don't have my driver's license so I could not apply for a delivery driver.
Hi Vaughn, that was a very interesting interview to read. I think an Uncle's pizza place would be a great first job for me - or nearly any teenage boy for that matter.
