I applied for Salvation Army bell ringer job


Posted: Oct 17, 2012

I thought some of you  might get a kick out of that.  Benefits:  It's outdoors, you can watch the sky, study the clouds (I'm drawing now, and I want to draw clouds, so why not study them all day?) - you're raising money to help people in trouble - you get to ring a bell - holiday spirit.  Also, I want practice drawing faces, so you can look at people's faces all day long.  Also, can write some poems & research for novel.  Downside - pay is low....

Well, not so sure they will hire me, but if they do - it's better than sitting at a desk all day in front of computer!  Good for weight loss and health, that is. Only a couple of months.  See what happens!

win-win-win-win-win!

Good for you! - see message

It sounds like it would be a really nice change and good experience for you. I hope you get the job. I had no idea they hired people for that....I always assumed they were all volunteers! Maybe they used to be years ago, and they just can't get enough people as volunteers any more(?).

I did that for a Christmas. It was fun at the beginning ... - me

...but I burned out after a while. You have a positive attitude. I'm sure you'll have fun.

Yeah, they actually do pay people to do that now. It - use to be volunteer though.

Assuming SA will hire me : ) - wheres_my_job

not a sure thing - I was honest about my education. Sure to sink me, but I couldn't bring myself to lie on a Salvation Army application.

Still, it would be a change of pace!

Salvation QuestionMar 30, 2012
My brother has terminal cancer and is only 39 years old.  I am a Baptist and believe Jesus died for us and salvation is the way to eternal life.  I desperately want my brother to be saved and baptized before cancer takes his life.  He is very angry now and not even sure if he believes in God anymore.  How can I get him saved and truly believe Jesus is our savior?  ...

Prayer For SalvationSep 15, 2015
Please pray that my dad would accept the Lord as his savior before he passes away. He is 87 years old and I'm not sure if he is saved or not. He is very private about most things and I know it is terrible but I am so nervous to even bring it up to him. I left a tract in his mailbox in the hopes that he would read it but not sure if he did. I know I need to bring it up but we grew up sort of not discussing deep issues so it is hard. ...

US Army And UPS V. USPSAug 10, 2012
I don't know how long it takes to learn this, but apparently when you ship things to soldiers at US bases, it is REALLY BAD to use the good ole federal US Postal Service. My nephew is at Ft Sill.  I sent him a laptop via USPS Priority mail on Monday. They are still waiting to "give it" to him.  Apparently he simply does not just get his mail as a normal civilian would.  The officers can hold on to it as long as they wish. Now I know.  They only have control over ...
