Job Search Chronicles: Part 4
It turns out that the temp agency route was the way to go, at least for now. I did an interview with them, stood out a bit given that I have a pretty varied skill set that goes beyond typing and answering phones, and got an interview with an apartment community leasing office today. I walked in there, went through the standard laid-back interview ( Read more... ) -
Job Search Chronicles: Part 3
So in the time since I last posted about my sad lack of employment, I managed to get a rather lucrative (in theory) position as a sampling manager at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston and at the Comcast Center in Mansfield.

Network Names...The Little Things That Amuse Me

So, I'm quite unemployed at the moment and am therefore in need of a job. After a lot of digging online and in the classifieds, I got an interview at an event promotions company in Riverside. The drive sucks but whatever, it's event promotions. I did the first round interview, nailed it, and got a second interview. That 'interview' happened today. ( Read more... ) -

How Do I Constantly Do This?
I don't get it. I somehow manage to sabotoge myself with people. Why is it that I can say and do the right things in a business setting but the second I try to get the least bit social, I do something stupid to screw it up? I hurt, if not destroy, virtually every connection I try to create, admittedly by trying too hard to socialize in some cases. ( Read more... )
