Get a new job

Our tech support quit last week, and I’ve been filling in for him ever since. So, I’m doing the work of two people for the pay of one.

I MUST GET A NEW JOB SOON!!!!!!!

I should’ve applied for some jobs today. There are four on my list that probably would’ve given me on the spot interviews. But I just didn’t. It was my day off, but I should’ve gone into the office today.

Blah.

Well, it’s Tuesday, and I’ve already:

1) Sent my resume to Sylvia
2) Gave me resume to Joseph so he can post it on Monster & other sites.

So, those were my two baby-step goals for this week. In addition to that, I’ve sent my resume to four of the jobs I saw posted on Yahoo!Jobs. Yay! So, really, I skipped the baby-step and when straight to running!

Lord willing, I’ll get a good response.

If I get Thursday off, I will apply in person for the following positions:

1) clerical (Ontario)
2) receptionist (Upland)
3) data processing(Upland)
4) receptionist (Rancho Cucamonga)

There are more that I could do, but I hope to get on-the-spot interviews for these! Time to pray, pray, pray!!!

It’s that time again. Rant time. Time to vent out my frustration with myself in the hopes that maybe, just maybe, this will a catalyst for change in my life.

I’ve stayed at a completely dead-end job for over a year longer than necessary. It was supposed to be temporary, just until I got a better job. Instead, I’ve spent a year and 3 months of my life at a place that is stifling me.

So, my goal is to have a new job before the new year. That is ambitious, and I may not make it. But I have to try.

These are the steps that I’ve start:

1) Revised my resume
2) Posted it to Yahoo Jobs

It may not seem like much, but that resume was haunting me. I was at a severe block in writing it, but Yahoo jobs made it quite easy. I just followed the format, and posted it. Then, I made the revisions necessary to tailor it for other jobs.

I know myself. In order to change, I have to see positive results. I must see some accomplishments, otherwise I get discouraged. Therefore, here are the next two steps that I need to take…let’s say…in the next week:

1) Get my resume to Sylvia (she knows of a job opening)
2) Give my resume to Joseph, who will post it on Monster, etc. for me, and adjust it accordingly.

Those are difficult because it puts my resume in the hands of newer friends. It makes me vulnerable. However, I need to see it as an opportunity, not as a weakness. Or, when I’m weak, God is strong. I need to take advantage of what these two friends are offering. Lord help me.

Okay, that’s it for today. I’m nervous, but change is necessary. Why would I want to stay in this pit?

when it comes to a job. Okay, so the job I have is great. It’s low maintenance, which I love. There’s just a few things wrong with it:

*It’s and 1hr-1.5hrs drive each way
*It’s part-time (only 21hrs/wk
and since it’s part time:
*No benefits
*No holiday pay

So, as much as I love the people I work with, I must move on! I should give myself a time limit, but that’s a bit overwhelming. I think the only time limit I’m going to give myself is to make sure I have my resume revised by Friday. Baby steps!
