find a summer job

I’m a little bit nervous, but I usually am when it comes to new stuff like this. Training starts in 47 hours…

Aaaannd I just got off the phone with the boyfriend. Who first congratulated me, and then made me realize how this job has the potential to take away my summer freedom. Shit. I need my time with my baby. What am I getting myself into? I hope this is a good thing. I hope I’m still able to make plans and have a life.

Sooooo conflicted now! WTF? Went from excited to stressed in 10 seconds.

But either way, I’ve completed this goal. Yay?

I have an interview on Tuesday for a very promising position! Not promising in the sense that I expect to get it, but promising in that it would look excellent on my resume and provide me with great experience!

I refuse to get my hopes up like I did with my last good job prospect. But this is the first lead I’ve had in awhile, so I feel good about taking a step in the right direction.

Only problem with this job is that it would require work during the school year (a one-year commitment). Not ideal, but I’m hoping that I could keep it limited to 8 hours/week – enough to bring in a bit of supplemental income AND give me more experience.

Training for the job starts on Thursday, so I’ll know more in less than 10 days. Crossing my fingers and hoping for the best…

I went to the mall to meet my boyfriend for lunch. I ran into an old friend who is the manager at the Smoothie King in the mall. She asked what I was doing for the summer and I told her I was looking for a job. She said, “Oh really??”. She gave me an application and said, “When you turn this into me you are hired.”

Wow!! I am so excited!!!

Had one today at Panera. I think it went well. If they want a second interview I will hear from them by Wednesday.
I hope I hear back. Don’t want to waste all of my summer trying to find a job.

for a two-week job in late July – early August. Decent work, crappy pay, but a job offer, nonetheless. Also willing to work around a part-time research job, if I can find one. I have until Wednesday to accept or decline the offer. I think I’ll take it, and though it’s not enough, I’m thankful for something.

Now, do I put in my two weeks tomorrow like I want to? That’s the stressor. I have no intention of being in Chicago after Memorial Day, so do I leave on the 15th and give myself a week to pack, or on the 22nd and have to pack while working? I’m soooooo ready to quit, but how can I justify any of this without another real prospect? Going crazy!!

Just submitted one to Bread and Company.

Please let one of these get me something!!

I got a call from Panera today! They asked me to call them when I get home to schedule an interview!!

I wasn’t expecting the phone call at all so a nice surprise today!

I got a job with an event planner(which I hope is my future career)assisting her on the day of event. I have no clue is it going to be a one time thing or continuous. I hope it is continuous!

I am going to try my hardest at the event and hope to impress her so I will be asked back to help!

I didn’t get the job I was really hoping for. The other job applications I’ve put in so far have lead to nothing. I have a few more I’d like to submit in the morning, but I’m not optimistic about them leading anywhere. I am so ready to quit my job, find something to get me through the summer, and move on to finishing school… but is fate and/or the economy against me?

Submitted one to Panera on Tuesday.

Grand total of 10 different applications!
