Get a new job

Friday. 11am. Wish me luck.

Although I like the convenience of my current job- I just started working in my school’s library this semester- I need a position in which I can make more money. I am trying to get my own apartment by 27. I need money and a steady income in order to do so. I found a job with the city that would work out perfectly for me. Here’s hoping! This position is one that requires either 60 semester credits/associates or a hs diploma and experience with library materials,records, archives, or a combo. I have almost all of the credits and I am currently working in a library!! Do you know how many times I applied for this position in the past and I had none of it and now it seems like I’ve just been set up wonderfully for it. I printed the job description and I have to spruce up my resume then send it out. I realllllyyy hope that I get this position or any positiont that will allow me to make some real money, but it seems like God plays His hands very well so far in which jobs I’ve been getting and this one just came back in front of me , so I hope this is another one!v

For some strange reason, every time I set my mind to look for a new job, my company promotes me. Not a bad problem, but I’m still looking for that new type of change in my life. I have been an Editor at my place for a little over a year. I remember when I took this position I mentally told myself I will give it one year and I will stay till the RTF. Once that is done I can be free. The time is now. I have finished the RTF successfully. I am now in the midterm section of my 5th semester in grad school ( 1 more full semester to go). I remember why I decided to go to grad school. To get out of here. I believe in myself and know how much potential I have and this place just doesn’t tap into that. Not doing your full potential drains you in a sick way. You think you have all this energy to spare since your not being used to your full potential, but you don’t you feel drained probably because you losing desire and drive.

So my action plan. Focus on finding a new job that fits my requirments, but that that the search for a new one doesn’t drain me or leave me discouraged. I will look at only 5 job boards. I will look on M, W, F. foo no more then 1 hour in total. Whatever job that interestes me I will give myself 2 nights to make time to write out my CC and Resume for it. after I hit send I will not dwell, but think positive thoughts.

My requirments that it not a NPO. Pay’s more then what I make, and is a mid size company (no Boutique) The job responsabilities will be exciting and what I went to school for.

I keep putting this off because Im trying to create lasting structure in my life, but this job is crap and I need something more stimulating.

I’m writing my resignation letter right now. Holy crap! I’m scared stiff. But I’m not backing down.

I wanted to talk to my boss about this first, but he didn’t tell me he was going to be away all week, and then the owner is here next week and I want to give him as much notice as possible so I’m writing an email.

Within two minutes, I will press send.

There’s a whole world out there, a whole life ahead of me. I can’t wait.

I must get a job, or I am destined to be poor and hungry… which sounds like a terrible time.

I recognize that I can not simply say, “I need a new job” and with that realization- coincidentally have one. I need to really focus and put fourth effort so that I might get accepted at a place which not only benefits me in the future/provides me with an adequate income, but also make me happy. I want a job I really enjoy. Ya know?

I got another part time temp job today – I now have four different jobs which is hard work! Three of these jobs are brand new, related to my field, but temporary. One, my old job, is totally unrelated to my field of education, but a steady income. I think it might be time to quit the old job to focus 100% on my new career. It’s a bit risky – I have enough work now, but in january? Who knows. Still, sooner or later I’ll have to jump…

Had an interview last Wednesday – still waiting to see what happens! Keep your fingers crossed folks! ;)

I work at Shaws, a supermarket, the same place I worked since I was 14. Yes, I have gone from bagger, to cashier, to customer service desk, to lastly bookkeeper. But I have always hated math, so the fact that I do this everyday is funny. I need to change that to something at least a little less hated, I love helping others so I am looking into some form of office clerk job. Fingers crossed.

Looks like this other job might be possible and at about the right time! I would take a large-ish pay cut – but not as much as if I went on unemployment or went to teaching part time, both of which I’ve been considering and taking steps to survive under these circumstances, so it actually would not be as bad as my friend was thinking for me. She actually sounded like this would be quite likely for me. I’m now considering giving notice at my job for December 18, the last day before our winter holiday. I’d like to decide by the end of this month whether or not to do that. Although I’ve almost completely decided in my own head. I’ve stayed too long.

I will talk it over with my boyfriend, and my mom when she’s in Cali next week for the Yoga Crib. They are two of the strongest voices of reason in my life and I trust their advice absolutely. Then I will look long and hard into my heart at the Yoga Crib, where I’m always able to access my deepest intuition. And choose.
