get a real job

Since i have been concentrating on school, I haven’t done much for this goal until recently. I still have stuff to do for school, but I have been looking a bit more seriously. I hope I get a good job, even if it doesn’t turn into a long-term career. I just need some real-world work experience!

Got an internship in my field. I’m considering this 1/3 of the way there!

so i hear that unemployment is higher than it’s ever been in my lifetime. i guess i’ll be up against some stiff competish. katt williams says be happy with what you got.

i’ve been working for my mom’s small business since graduation, which is what i was doing on and off in school as well. this’d all be good, except it’s kind of lame and a shitty job for a real adult such as myself, ‘specially with this bachelor’s. that sounds high and mighty, but whatevs. i think i’ve hit the ceiling of what they’ll pay me, considering how shitty they pay all their employees, and it’s good for life as a knucklehead, bad for paying off house AND car or being married w/children.

i’m not in too much of a hurry, since my presence is helping my mom out and there’s nothing to heavy on the horizon. so i put my shit up on monster. we’ll see.

I found a job right down the street at my favorite restaurant. I’m in the service industry and I couldn’t be happier! At least until I finish school and start getting paid to do people’s makeup…

Yeah! I got a second, but really it will be my third interview tomorrow a.m.
This position is for an Ophthalmology Assistant which I would love to do. I need to get back into the medical field as I feel that is where I am the most interested and the most strong.
I have already had the first interview. Got called back for a 2nd interview with the Doctor. Wasn’t selected that go around, but got a call for another interview. This time the interview will be with 2 doctors. One of the docs is the same one as before plus an additional doctor. They are doing some “restructuring” of the department and not sure where this new assistant will end up or which doctor this new assistant will end up with.
I’m confident I can excel at this job and I hope that shows in my interview tomorrow.

We had an event tonight for work, and it made me realize that as much as these people – my boss, the volunteers, the attendees, etc – have all the best in mind and are doing a very good thing, this is not the job for me.

People always shake my hand, and slap me on the back, and say “You should be so proud! You’re doing such a good job! You’re the greatest!” And it makes me feel horrible. I’m so miserable going to work. I do not look forward to it. I’m not great. I’m a fraud.

And that leaves me unsettled and genuinely sad.

I have met with a career advisor at my school, and it’s been pretty helpful. It’s still daunting to start a career. I need to spend more time investigating what sort of jobs I will be applying for. My next goal is to spend at least one day a week at the career center looking up career profiles and companies, and meeting with the advisor again to work on my CV, etc

No luck on getting a surprise promotion this week, but I am running a “tea party” for my store, so hopefully it will make me look good for the boss. Teaching jobs should be posted in a couple of weeks, and then I’ll be looking for a position in the area. Either way, I think I’m on the right track.

I dont’ know if my boss knows it, but I completely checked out in mid November.

I think what they’re trying to do is a worthy cause, but this is not the job for me. There’s too much uncertainty and too much worry.

I have to leave.
