What's on my mind

Hello Everyone,

Today I started part time job as a receptionist. It is temporary and they are flexible to my interviewing needs. It just felt good knowing that I would have some money.

I have been tearing myself apart and driving myself crazy with all this job searching. Especially because I am so desparate for work. When you are as desparate as I am for a job people can sense that right away and don't really want to hire you. It's kinda like dating I guess. So what am I gonna do about all this? Get a job. Any job.

I have been thinking and maybe I should just chill out for a while. Get a waitressing job or one without too many qualifications. That should bring money a little money in the bank. Then I start planning for the big job while I have money in the bank. Right now I am just stressing about paying the bills. I just need to ease my financial worries.

As you all know, the weather is getting hotter. I love that. I love wearing little shirts, shorts, sandals, skirts. I missed the hot weather especially since it was so cold for a while in Barcelona. My friends there tell me they are frying.

I better go. I'll talk to ya later.

Ciao.

 

Just another day..........

Hello Everyone,

Well, today I got some calls and one of them was for an interview. I have another interview on Friday. All this job talk is boring me. I'll have to resume this tommorow. Trust me, I will. Just not today.

Today I took the LightRail and used a pass that my 16 year old friend gave me for people UNDER 17. I am 24. Normally no one is there to check passes. Besides, I have the adult pass for next month.

And today was my lucky day. The officer there looked at my pass. He started to walk away but then turned around and asked me how old I was. I told him 17. Then he asked me what year I was born and my math is so bad that I couldn't subtract 17 years from 2005. I was busted. I told him that I was sorry and to do what he had to do.

But I got off lucky. He even gave me a day pass for the day and took my Youth pass. I was so ashamed because I normally don't pull this crap.

Anyways, I gotta go now. I will talk to y'all later.

Ciao.

So so so annoying

Hello Everyone,

Yes, I am on for the 2nd time today. Last week I got a lot of interviews in. This week no one has been calling me back.

I have no job, car, money.................... So do you know the agony of not receiving a single damn phone call ? All day ? Yesterday and today ??? What is up with that? I sent lots of e-mails out. No takers.

I can handle it if a dude doesn't call me back. That's fine. But when companies ignore me altogether ?? That's brutal.

The only thing I can do is just keep trying and going on interviews. And I am doing just that. But I have to admit that this gets frustrating at times.

For one, I don't just have the luxury of waiting for the perfect job. I need an income. If I pick up some crappy job, yeah I can always leave it. But then I could end up leaving on bad terms with the company by leaving so fast. Either that or by putting lots of energy into the crappy job, I miss out on good opportunities.

And another thing. I am new to all this. I don't really know what's out there. How do I know that if the job I am applying for is the best I can do ? How do I know that I am not going to pick a company where I will be completely miserable? Being miserable in a job is so not worth it.

All of this confuses me. I hope I'll eventually get it right.

 

 

And the search continues

Hello Everyone,

Well, Pitney Bowes e-mailed me back and told me that they didn't select me for the next step in the hiring process. I dunno if he sent me a pre-made e-mail but he told me that I do have a lot of qualities employers look for. I wish that he woulda told me the unfavorable quality that made him not hire me. He would be doing me a favor. But I also know that they have to be politically correct and that they don't wanna hurt anyone's feelings.

This kinda bites because I was really hoping for that job. I have been getting lots of calls for interviews but I keep getting turned down in the end. I didn't realize just how hard and competitive that this is going to be. I have been making mistakes in the beginning, and I am not starting to see that and correct them. I think I am improving.

My old boss used to work in sales and she told me that something will happen sooner or later. She told me a friend of hers was looking for a job in HR for 6 months. So I know that things may be a while, but that something's gotta happen for me.

Anyways, it's morning now and I better continue the search.

Ciao.
