My Job Search Has...Stalled

A couple months ago, I started applying for jobs, but after a while, I just stopped. It's a hard process to go through, and it's hard to find a good job, that's hiring.

 

I have returned countless job applications, and I don't know how many more I will hand in, in the future. I just wish I could instantly be hired for a job I would really like, and not have to worry about interviews, calls, etc.

If anyone has any tips on the job search/interview process, feel free to leave a comment. It would be greatly appreciated. At this point, I am pretty much willing to get just about any job I can handle.

So far I have applied at several grocery stores, pet stores, a zoo, and a few other places. I really hope someone is going to be hiring soon, because I really need a job.

I hope you will be supportive of me as I continue to go through this process. It would definitely mean a lot to me.

Well, that's all for now. More to come later.

 

 

Spring is Finally Here!!!

Finally, spring has arrived. Winter was brutal this year. We got a ton of snow, and it was really cold out. With spring here, we don't have to deal with all that stuff for a while.
Not much is going on now. I'm looking for a job. I have applied at about 5 or 6 places so far. I have also applied for volunteer work, as well. I really hope I get a job soon, because I really need the money.
For St. Patrick's Day, I went to Molly Malone's Irish Pub to celebrate with a friend. I wore a camp t-shirt (which was green), and a headband with four-leaf clover decorations on the top. I had a pub burger and a Lady Diva for my meal. It was pretty good. We then walked around town, looking at all the shops, and the stuff they sell. I had a good time.
I am planning on going to visit a couple of my cousins, possibly next month, or in May. It's been a while since I've seen them, so it will be nice to see them again.
Other than that, not much is going on. I'm doing a little knitting. I love to knit now, although I'm not very good right now. But I want to get better. So far, I've made a teddy bear (for charity), a scarf, and a hat.
A few days ago, I started a bucket list. I love making lists, so this was perfect for me. My bucket list is about 10 pages long so far. I don't know if I will have much more to add to it. But I have a good amount of stuff on it, that I want to do. I have a hold on the movie The Bucket List. I've never seen it before, so I thought that since I made a list, I'd watch the movie.
Well, that's all for now. More to come later.

4 Days and Counting

School starts in 4 days, for me. I am excited/nervous/anxious. I don't know what will happen, since it is a 4 1/2 hour-long class, and I've been dealing with some emotional stuff lately. So I don't know how I would handle that long of a class. But, I'm looking forward to the class.
I've been applied to a bunch of places for jobs, over the last week or 2. I really hope I get a job soon. I need the money. And the job. The first thing I want to get after I get a job is a cell phone. I really need one.
Well, that's all for now. More to come later.

Goings On

I have started applying for jobs for the fall, and possibly spring. I have applied to about 10 different places, and still looking at others. I really hope I get a job soon, as I really need the money. Please, hire me!!!! Right now I am looking at a 2 mile radius, but I will look further than that if I need to.
I can't believe school starts soon. I start school on September 10. Most of the other students started on Monday. I am kind of glad I didn't start then. I need time to get ready, physically and emotionally. I am taking one class, once a week. It is called Chocolate. I think it is a class where we work with chocolate, and learn about all the ways we can work with it.
I am really looking forward to the class. Seems like it will be fun. The thing I am not looking forward to, howerver, is the length of the class. It is 4 1/2 hours long, which I really don't like. But, as it is a class about one of my favorite foods, I will live.
Well, that is all for now. More to come later.

Girls' Day Out

Today, one of my friends and I got together to hang out. We went to Caribou Coffee, for a snack. I got a spicy chicken wrap and a hot chocolate. We then went to Border's to look around. I wanted to see if there is something I wanted, so I could use my gift card, but the stuff I wanted was too much, and I didn't have enough money for it. While there, I saw a girl I went to school with.
I hadn't seen her since high school, so it was a surprise to see her at Border's. But it was nice. We talked for a few minutes, and then went on our ways.
I can't believe 2009 is almost over. With all the birthdays, holidays, and what not, it went by too fast. For New Year's, I have a few resolutions I hope to keep. They are:

Clean my room and keep it clean

Become a vegetarian/eat healthier

Do better in school

I am going back to school this spring. I had to change my major, because my previous major, special education, was too much for me. I changed it to Hospitality. I am taking Success in College and Introdution to Hospitality. The Success in College class is on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, and the Hospitality class is on Wednesdays. I can't wait to start back at school. I am really looking forward to being a pastry chef in the future.
Someday in the future, I actually would like to open up my own pastry/chocolate shop/restaurant. I think it would be really cool to sell stuff that I have made, to people who are willing to try my work.
I am hoping to also get a job, on the days I'm not in school. I am looking at Petco, Coldstone Creamery, Walgreens, the library, Border's, Barbara's Bookstore, the theater, and a few other places. I really hope I get a job soon, because I really need the money.
I'm also wishing I had a boyfriend. I haven't had one before, since I wanted to concentrate on school. I still want to concentrate on school, but now I want to do that with a man by my side. I'm in my mid 20's, and thought it would be time for a serious relationship.
I'm also hoping that in the new year, I start going back to church every week. I haven't gone in a while, due to family and personal reasons. I miss going to church. My family and I used to go the the Christmas mass, which I loved to do. I really want to get back in touch with my faith, and with God. So, until then, I will pray, read my Bible, and talk to God.
That's all for now. More soon.
