So I'm still thinking about how I was forced to wipe Carleton University off my resume in order to find some random job.  Then it hit me, how would I be different if I never went there?

Less confident-maybe, but sometimes I feel like school made me feel small, almost self depricating
More simple minded- I have learned alot more, but that knowledge

it can't be that hard to figure out
do you want to just say saturday night or any night and if all the girls (or if its guys too now or whatever) are free then its a go?

you can't find a job because you're going back to university in september?

what the FUCK?

just lie and say you go to york or ryerson or toronto.

and if you can't get a job still, I'm blown away because in a few weeks, you'll have the hordes of high school kids looking for jobs as well. =( I just started my job 2 weeks ago and they didn't care whether I was in university or not. Everyone who's working there is either in school, just out of school, in between schools or something like that.

sorry. I'm just surprised that it takes lying to employers to get a summer job that isn't in some office tower being a keyboard monkey or some highpowered internship thing.

have you tried looking for some NGO positions on charityvillage.com? If you want to do some meaningful stuff over the summer, they're always looking and actually uni students form the bulk of the temp workforce.

that was really helpful, i'm going to apply to work for greenpeace~!

[chim__chim]

no problem. I liked the places that I found to volunteer at back in high school over the summer through that website.

if you can't get greenpeace, perhaps you'd like to look into overseas humanitarian effort things like habitat for humanity, or other stuff that include building schools, basic everyday utilities like water pumps to get clean water and whatnot.

Lots of good opportunities and if you look hard enough, you'll find something you really enjoy. Probably more than selling makeup to people or retail salesperson or some kind of clerk.
