Apply for jobs with (targeted) abandon. When in doubt, apply. Now, Damn it (!!!)

that job i was reluctant to take….? yeah, i got the ax on tuesday. it’s so ironic that i was the one worried about karma points if i had been offered the job for that one last interview i went on. so, now i’m unemployed and going to a temp gig on monday (better than nothin’). wish me luck, send me good vibes, pray for me, whatever. i need all the positive energy i can get comin’ my way.

well, i accepted an offer. it’s not what i want because it’s just another accounting job, but at least it’s an out from where i am now. there will be an opportunity to get in and set things up the way i’d like to see them, but i know that after a while, it will be the same old, same old, and before too long i’m going to end up right back where i am now.

and, i must confess, i went on an interview today. they called me right after i accepted this position and in all honesty, the one i went in for today is more of what i’m looking for. it’s technically a senior financial analyst job, and it’s for a much larger company, so even though there isn’t huge potential for advancement, at least i should be able to stay put for a few years and do a job that’s more interesting than what i’m doing now and learn something new, i hope.

i am a firm believer in karma, though, so if i get offered this position, and i have to tell the other folks i can’t accept their offer, i’m afraid of what that could do to me in the long run. that’s probably a silly thought, but if you had my luck, you’d think it, too.

i guess it all remains to be seen. if there’s no other offer, then there’s nothing to worry about, right?

i’ve been on more than a half a dozen interviews, and so far, no dice. furthermore, i have compromised and allowed myself to apply for jobs that aren’t really where i want to take my career right now just in an effort to get the hell out of where i am. and now, i’m just exhausted and tired of interviewing and i am still here. aagh.

i guess all i can hope for right now is that something finally pans out and i can get out of where i am now and hopefully figure out what i “should” be doing before hubby wants to go solo (working). sigh.

why does my situation never change? i realize i have a hard time making decisions, but come on! i sincerely would have thought that something would have come to me by now.

well, i think it went all right. for the most part, i thought i had good answers to the questions they asked and it sounds like something i want to do and that i have what they’re looking for. the people i talked to were kinda hard to read, though, so i’m not certain that i totally impressed and/or wowed them. i know they have a handful more folks to interview, so at this point, all i can hope for is that i get a 2nd interview with the cfo and the other accounting staff. i’d say cross your fingers, but what’s done is done. i guess all i can do now is hope for the best and try to enjoy new years.

please wish me luck and send me good vibes everyone, i have a major job interview on monday for a place i really want to work. i’ll let you know how it goes….eeek…

maybe the odds will be in my favor if i apply to everything that looks remotely like something i can and want to do…? probably not the greatest idea, but what the hell? it can’t be worse than my situation now. or can it?... hmm….

there are a handful that went nowhere for one reason or another, but i have a few irons in the fire and i’ve got my fingers crossed that they’ll turn into interviews (they should; i’m definitely qualified for all the jobs i’ve applied to). wish me luck…

to anyone who lives in or knows someone who lives in or around the indy area:

please help me find another job.

if i work one more minute where i currently am, i am going to lose my mind.

i am accountant. i do financial statements, not taxes. i am open to lots of different industries.

if you’re out there, and you can hear me, i will take any ideas, support, you name it that you care to send my way.

god bless.

than the way i had it. and now i can share this goal with someone, which i like to do.

it’s really hard. i don’t think i’m going to get the job that i think i want because, of course, i don’t have the right experience. i just finished a master’s degree so the appeal of going back to school isn’t there yet. but my current place of work is toxic. i gotta get out, but we need the money. i’ll take any and all suggestions you lovely folks have (within reason, legality, etc.) i’m an accountant, for those of you who don’t know (not a cpa).
