My current conundrum

[delghtfllytacky]

I graduated in May full of hopes and dreams, and sure that I would find a teaching job by the time school started in August. Summer came and went without even one interview for a teaching job. Instead, I got a job at Elder-Beerman in June as a temporary summer job, just until I found something else. After Comic-Con, I started applying to other jobs

i've been... pretty silent on lj, but i just wanted to say:

i moved here to Chicago knowing only Dave (and we recently ended. again.) and without a job. i temped for two months. it wasn't super-fun, because you never really get to establish yourself somewhere if you're only working each place for a few days to a few weeks, BUT it allowed me to pay my rent while going on other interviews.

and ultimately i ended up going permanent at a temp position - and i've never been happier.

i'm not sure what the market's like in columbus for temping, but i always had work if i wanted it while temping.

i say do it - often it's super-hard (without a technical/specialized background) to get a job without living where you're looking. you're just not in the know and you can't go for interviews at the drop of a hat, etc.

good luck, babe!
