I’ve been sending out resumes for months with no luck. Then I got an interview at a library but didn’t get hired. I have a B.A. in English and want to work in publishing or with books or something related, but other than having worked at a bookstore I have no experience. I don’t want to be a receptionist or work in customer service the rest of my life, but I don’t know what to do.
I’ve tried out three times, and though I never have passed the written test, I feel each time brings me a little closer. Maybe I can be on the show before Alex Trebek retires.
