How to find a job i love
It made me
content
 "It just all fell into place much quicker than I had thought it would."
How I did it: I wanted to find a job I loved again and so commenced a degree in an area where I have volunteered my time for free for many years. I am now in my second year of the the degree and had decided this year to study full time so I could get to the job I love quicker. That wasn't quick enough for the universe and an email arrived from a friend asking if I knew anyone who would be interested in this job..hello...me!!! I was plagued with doubt, am I experienced enough, I am such a left field candidate with my experience. I took a deep breath and just did one bit at a time. Filled in the forms found out how best to present my resume. I heard I was up against stiff competition so instead of feeling defeated I focused on, if I get an interview I have learnt allot about how to present my experience to get that far but if I don't I tried. I got an interview and spent some time savouring that feeling. Then i went to work thinking of every awful question they could ask me and having an answer for it. I rehearsed what I would say if a question stumped me completely. I practiced key information I wanted to make sure I said and prepared several questions to ask. When I got to the interview it all went to plan with my answers and I felt they liked my questions but to my horror when I got out I saw the interview had only taken 15 minutes! I was amazed when my referees called to say they had been contacted and then they called to say I GOT THE JOB!!! I have been there 3 weeks and it is a huge new project which will impact on peoples lives in a positive way and I am keeping my thoughts and plans to one step at a time and loving my job. I am proud to be doing something like this and I am proud and still slightly amazed that I was able to get to this point way faster than I had thought! Lessons & tips:

How I did it: I may sound gay but I wanna say I found my job bc I tried and didnt stop looking. I didnt settle even when people said I shouldand got mad at me for not settling but that doesnt mean I grueled over 100 shit jobs in between (spirit is no excuse for laziness and being smug). Read how I did it…
msebeli is :)
How I did it: I had been looking for teaching jobs all summer somewhat lazily - not REALLY wanting anything to work out. Then, I was offered a job and although I was apprehensive, I gave it a shot and I LOVE it Read how I did it…
How I did it: After 18 applications. I finally got there on interview number 6. This probably took quite long as i was quite specific about what i was looking for, and the establishment i had 4 of these interviews with tends to favour internal candidates.One of my friends told me that just when you think you can't sink any lower, just at the last minute something will happen and she was right. Two days before being made redundant i get a phone call off… Read how I did it…
steph_deidre is excited to add to her list!
How I did it: I worked hard and I did as much as possible. I had internships in my field and worked to demonstrate why I deserved to be there. I took classes that challenged me and helped me to become smarter all around. I took part in extracurricular activities to balance my school work and find new ways to learn. I landed an amazing internship and I worked like crazy from day one. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Well it turned out simple, they came to my college for hiring, I appeared in their hiring test and gave some interviews and was hired.A little bit of preparation for the same was probably a good idea. I was too busy to do much but I read quite a few problems from the book Programming pearls which indeed helps in giving new ideas for Problem solving. Read how I did it…

I’m utterly exhausted from the job search. I’ve never really been one to think of unemployed people as lazy anyway… but now I appreciate how difficult and draining it is. So much rejection really affects one’s self esteem, making it difficult to keep motivated.
Bleh.
i recently got fired from a shitty job were i was treated appallingly and i realized that i never wanted to be there in the first place. i decided that i wasn’t going to apply to any more jobs unless i could actually see myself enjoying them. unfortunately i do not have a degree yet so that certainly puts a damper on my options at this point. however, there is a Hard Rock Cafe opening in my town, a friend of mine works at the Los Angeles one and LOVES it, so i am going to apply. wish me luck!

I’d like to get into Social Services. I’m taking online courses in order to get certified, and tomorrow I have an interview for a volunteer position. Hopefully these steps will lead to a job I find fulfilling eventually.
