    NO LUCK!!!



    Untitled 1 month ago

    I passed the test, and the written evaluation, I have my oral interview scheduled for February of 2010. I also plan on registering for the Police Civil Service test in December of 2009 as a backup plan. The actual test wouldn’t be until the spring of 2010, so if I don’t pass the oral interview, I’ll have something to fall back on. These selection processes are really, really long.



    I'm at least leaving the job I hate. 1 month ago

    That’s progress, right? I hate to throw out my old shoes before I have a new pair, so to speak, but I’m getting out of a job that leaves me with stress, backaches and little time for school work or pursuing freelance work that will help launch my career.

    I’ve deliberated this and thought it through for about a month. My boyfriend and I went over our budget together, and we’ll have enough money for our bills and necessities while I finish school and hopefully chase down the dream.

    I’m open to finding new part-time work as well, provided that it is fewer than 25 hours a week or so. My current job is supposed to be, but my supervisors keep putting me on the schedule for 35+ hours spread over 5-6 days/week in spite of my asking for less and I’ve had enough. October 5th is my last day! I haven’t had a weekend off in over a year, and I don’t have to miss out on great opportunities for a job I don’t like and no longer need.

    I should start looking again, as I’m not sure what’s happening at my current job.



    Find a Job I Love 1 month ago

    It is hard for me to find work at all, much less something I like. Being on FMLA makes it difficult. Someday, somehow, it will happen!



    Untitled 1 month ago

    It is a life that I’m looking for a job that I love.

    I’ve got an Italian Bachelor Degree in Political Science and an Master’s Degree in European Studies and International Relations.

    I also know Italian, English, Spanish, French and used them during some work experience. I taught languages and some other things for a short time. I really like to write articles about international and global issues.

    Recently I created a training course in the field of development cooperation.

    I really like to read books and I’m fond of research and history.



    Taking much longer than i thought 2 months ago

    At the moment I work as a Volunteer Coordinator for a medium sized charity. I have gained a lot of valuable experience from this, but i essentially hate this job. I don’t feel valued and don’t feel it serves a purpose like other jobs i have had.

    Facing redundancy due to funding cuts i have been looking for a project support role for over 3 months.

    In 3 months i have sent off 16 applications and had 5 interviews. One of which i am waiting on.

    This is really affecting my self esteem. I know it is a sign of the times, but i am running out of time fast.

    The interview i had last week is the one i really want. Should hear any day now. Am sick with anxiety!



    Phew... 2 months ago

    First week over! I expected it will be rough and tiring, but it was even more exhausting than I thought. I’m still absolutely beat.

    Still, I get to do what I love, so it’s defintely worth it. We’ll see, I guess it will just get easier from now on as I familiarise myself with everything and everybody.



    Starting next week! 2 months ago

    So I’m finally starting next week at my new job. It combines travelling, education, and giving a hell of a show! Which just sounds ideal for me. But we’ll see if I can check this as done very soon.



    Interviewing Madness / Stuck! 2 months ago

    I went to an interview yesterday to work at a doc’s office. He asked me what jobs I’d enjoyed in the past & he told me that I wouldn’t be a good fit at his office. He said I would feel stifled & that I should go become an art teacher because it seemed to be the only thing about which I was “fired up”.

    It’s true that I do want to be in the teaching field, but I have to pay bills at the same time. I don’t have a teaching degree & my interviews with 3 school systems did not work out for me. I’m not trying to make excuses, I just know that I probably won’t be able to be a teacher unless I go back to school for a master’s degree. That’s something that I can’t afford to do unless I have a job to pay my way through it. I feel like I’m in a vicious & unproductive cycle of not being able to do what I want.
