find a job that makes me happy

Another rejection from a bookshop :( Maybe I should see this as a hint from destiny that I shouldn’t work in a bookshop? For now I’m sticking to my boring tnt job, and I’m planning to try to get an internship at an English magazine next summer, maybe that’s a first step to a job that makes me happy :) But first: try to graduate!

...who doesn’t want to do this?

I’m probably one year from graduating, and haven’t really had real jobs yet. But as my financial situation is far from ideal I really need to find a job, and I would really like this job to be a start in some direction. Not just working shifts at TNT or cleaning offices, but a part-time job with some intellectual content. Maybe I’m asking to much, but many of my frieds seem to be able to find something at least in the right direction; administrative jobs at the university, working in an archive, a library… I would do anything for a job like that.

Uhm, well, actually, I wouldn’t. And that’s probably the whole problem. I’m not the kind of person ‘who works the system’, to talk myself in somewhere. I’m not very charismatic, rather shy even, in the beginning. I just don’t know how to sell myself. But sure there must be more people like me who díd get into nice jobs? How did they do it, I wonder…
