I applied for a few jobs on campus this weekend. I’m really hoping to get one at the research library rather than food service, but we’ll see how that goes. :/

How to get a part time job
It made me
 "Booyah!"
How I did it: I applied to 26 different stores, I heard back from and had interviews with 7 of those, I got the job at the 6th I heard back from (as I was about to walk into the 7th store's interview no less :P) So it was 6th time lucky for me :P Lessons & tips: You just have to keep trying and trying and trying, until you finally get one. Don't wait for a job to come to you, you have to be proactive and get out there. Resources: Internet job sites are can provide opportunities (like seek.com) If you're at uni, your uni might have a job listing page. Walk around shopping centres looking for signs in store windows, but also look on the shopping centre website for job listings. Go directly to store websites, they often have a careers page.

How I did it: i started applying and handing in my CV at about 5 different places. it was unsuccessful. but then about May 2009, my sister, who works as a burista at a cafe/restaurant, said that they needed someone to work weekends. i applied, not very hopeful, as i had been turned down many times--there wasn't any room for me.i got a text from my 'boss' saying that she would like me to come down to "have a chat". i had a 'trial', which was 2 hours car… Read how I did it…

How I did it: since i've completely sworn off of waitressing, it's been difficult finding another job that will accept me. i just want a simple job so i don't have to worry about it taking over my life, and so i can pay some bills, which are pretty low.i got the impression that most of the places thought i was over-qualified. maybe they felt i would move on to something better at a moment's notice?it's also been difficult because i don't have a car, so… Read how I did it…

How I did it: I handed my CV around several stores at a local shopping centre. I went to one for a group interview and was told that they would contact me if I was considered for the position. I got a call about a week later and was asked to come in for an individual interview. I was then given the job on the spot :) Read how I did it…

ahhh
How I did it: Persistence was key. My interview was kind of silly, I was totally my self....which I know is said to be a good thing but after the interview I was kind of wishing I had turned the silly personality down a bit. In the long run it definitely paid off too just be myself..all or nothing. Read how I did it…

i've officially completed a goal!

Ever since i’ve started this whole nanny gig, I’ve been looking for a part-time job. I’ve especially been leaning toward a retail position, not only for the discounts :) but also to help with my venture in becoming a stylist. I applied to the Sax Fifth Avenue Outlet on Thursday, got a call on Friday, interviewed on Monday and got hired on Tuesday! I applied assuming I wouldnt even get a call back. I really had some positive energy being sent my way!
I’m really thankful and super appreciative for the opportunity (and the future discounts :)

so i’ve been searching on CL for opportunities. i’m pretty lazy but finally realized so are the people hiring and if i really am serious about getting another job i absolutely need to buckle down and write up a resume!
however, yesterday the retail store i did stock for during the holidays called me and offered me a sales position- talk about good luck/fate/whatever. i did hate working there 35% of the time, honestly retail just isn’t my cup of tea- i’m not that great at “selling”- but i accepted anyway. i figure it’ll be sweet getting paid once a week (plus sales bonuses hopefully!), having a discount (not that i used it much but you never know), and it’s only 10-15 hrs a week so I can still keep my other job which i like 85% of the time! on a personal note i think it’ll be good to be a bit busier, less time to waste on going out/spending money/partying. and since my student loan payments are kicking in i really could use the extra cash. conclusion- yay for not burning my bridges and being a good employee =)
side note: im not counting this as “done” until i’m actually scheduled to work/am working there consistently.
