So, finished my last day of AmeriCorps and with the Red Cross. Whoo! Was freaking about not having a job... but Sunday I got a call from the Whole Foods Market in Springfield about an interview. Did that and for some reason I was all cocky and thinking I was cool - they asked me why I should get the position over the seven other applicants and I ( Read more... )

Final count for this afternoon:

2 Sears

11 Whole Foods

4 AA

1 Volunteer Coordinator

1 Receptionist

So.... this week alone... I have applied to:

65 jobs.

Might add a few before 4:30, but my brain is kind of bleeding right now from all the apps.

Had breakfast with the VP of Public Affairs. That was.. interesting.

Applied to:

8 Admin Asst
1 Special Education Teaching Asst.
1 Research Assistant

Going to clean my desk up then head to lunch. I'll apply to some more mini wage jobs when I get back. And more asst and such. Whoooo.

Party was just as awkward as I thought it'd be. Especially once Boss' Boss' Boss (whose last day is in a week) got super tipsy and forced me to swing dance with him... at the bar. That was... weird. At first it was funny/okay but he kept going. Oi. Old men ( Read more... )

I hate going to work parties. Especially when they're supposed to be for us/in our honor... but really it's just a tool the higher-ups use to lull volunteers into a fall sense of comradarie. Yep, I really want to waste my entire evening at a stupid party being all PC and pretending I like ANY of these shmucks. Ugh. Ugh. Ugh ( Read more... )

Going blind from job applications. It's really annoying because several companies make you REDO the WHOLE application when submitting to multiple locations. Like... Shoppers Food, Inc? Two stores within FIVE MILES of each other... each need a seperate 30 page application. UGH. They make you make an account and everything but it doesn't save your ( Read more... )

Cleaning out my desk, I just found Halloween cards addressed to Mel, Christie, Jenny, and Carly. Think I'll save them and send them out this year... although I'll have scratch out some non-relevant notes I'd put in them.... especially Mel's...

Oh, god, I babbled like the crazy Yank I am.

Danny withdrew his application. So, it's me vs. .... The Volunteer Coordinator? No one knows who the last person is that applied (Ted from a neighboring chapter? Volunteer Coordinator here? Volunteer of Doom?) Sources are, again, pointing to Volunteer Coordinator. Ugh. I need to stop thinking about that, but really... I'd like to prepare so subtly ( Read more... )

There are three interviews on Friday. As far as I know, that's the only day they are doing interviews. Mine is first, at 9AM. Danny is at 10AM ---- but he's already accepted another job and is 98% sure he's going to withdraw his application for Boss' Job. The third, I think, is that Volunteer of Doom I mentioned. I talked with someone that's pretty ( Read more... )
