germander It's hard to make myself run FEWER miles

getting warmer! 1 hour ago

I have now applied to two staffing companies, and today, one of them sent my application to a business needing a data entry person. I know I don’t have a job yet, but this is great progress, and I’m pretty happy about it. What a relief!



Looking for about 2 months now.... 19 hours ago

I have not been working for about 4 months, but I have only been officially been looking for a new job the last 2 months. The number of leads has diminished dramatic over the weeks because of the economy and end of year. I have a couple of leads this week, but not going to get my hopes up yet since most companies seem to be in a holding pattern right now – most are playing it safe and waiting for the new year budgets I suppose. We will see. I do a lot of searching on the job sites, and I have about 2 recruiters that I am working with – one more respectable than the other. Some can be pretty slimy I have come to find out. Sigh. Lessons learned I guess. =O

interview #2 2 days ago

had second interview with Staples today. Staples wasn’t my top choice, I guess, but they’re the ones that responded first and I really need to get off my ass and back into the working world. Also, I have a big thing for office supplies, so it’s definitely my type of environment, I reckon.
I think both interviews went good, especially the first one (some bs chitchat, but mostly all good and true, lol). Both managers I interviewed with seemed easy-going and friendly. At the end of today’s interview the manager said I should be expecting a call in the next few days from them.

Marlo23 is working on her fitness!

Done and done! 4 days ago

I was actually really fortunate with this.
Originally, my plan was to up-date my CV (I did, then lost it, whoops) and hand them in at cafes in my local area. I’ve had experience and certificates in barista work, so I’m highly qualified for this.
However, my mate rang me, said “I have your old job back” and there it was! Start work tomorrow, yay!

BTW, I only quit my old job because I moved, but now I’ve moved back.

I got a call on Friday offering me a position while I was out, I just need to call tomorrow morning and accept the offer :)
Yay :)



interveiw! 5 days ago

I applied for a job with Staples last month and got a call from them three days ago. I have an interview with the manager at a store near my house (only about 10min away) on Monday! I really hope I get it even though my availability for the rest of the semester is probably less than desirable. Semester’s almost over, though, and I’m only going to have class three days a week next year, so that should be a plus. On my first job interview I was hired on the spot, and I hope the same happens here (I don’t like the suspense of waiting for them to call, lol).
