get a full-time job

i applied to beaucoup jobs at the new hospital over the past week. now i wait. i’m also gonna contact the temp agency and see if they can get me something more and apply at other places. i must not give up…

no listings at the hospital my mom works at but there’s a glimmer of hope: there are a ton of listings in another hospital system. i’m gonna apply to every one that i qualify for.

i hope this isn’t a pointless waste of time and effort as i know that nowadays it’s who you know not what you know. i have two B.S. degrees and i can’t even get an entry level job anywhere. if i can’t get a position at my mom’s hospital i probably have zero chance at the other hospital since i know absolutely no one.

but still i try.

I’ve already told Diana from the temp agency that i’m looking for more hours. i’m gonna peruse the hospital’s site again later. i need more money. the pennies i’m currently making are barely keeping me afloat and are also affecting my other goals such as being more sociable (can’t afford to buy drinks, pay cover, see movies, etc), paying off debt (i’m barely making the minimum payments as it is), saving for med tech school tuition, etc.

sigh

Yesterday it became official! I have my contract! I will be working full-time as a Field Specialist for Quinn Developmental Services after I finish my internship. I finish at Bethany on Friday 9/12 and start at QDS on Monday 9/15!

I have taken my state test now I am waiting on my certification results. Should get them in the next week.

I do want to, and still can, freelance, but finding a full-time job, yay health insurance, has been awesome for keeping me on a schedule. I get schlumpy if I don’t have to go to a job. Maybe the corporate machine has twisted me too far, but I like it so I guess I’m in a good place.

First things first. I need to get a full time job. I’ve been working the last 5 monthes for only 2 or 3 hours a day and it makes me feel like a loser. I’m only 19 and just out of high school but still.

I know I can probably get by just fine working part-time, but I would feel a lot more secure if I had more money. I’m so worried that something big is going to come up after I buy a house and that I won’t be able to handle it.

As of Monday I’m offically in the fold, with all the crap like medicals to ensure I’m fit. health insurance so the government don’t have to fork out ACC, Proper overtime, training incentives, upskilling requirements and the big speach about being a saftey concisous team player and honest reliable coworker cos I’m one their most vauable assets now. I’m fast tracked into Kiwi saver, have a vauge promises of share options, pay reviews and long service accument if I can handle the joys of minor construction (our department). On the plus side they have branches in the NZ and Aus so maybe I can transfer out of this god fearing provincal capital into a truely debauchourus and alienating city. Or some back blocks branch where everyone’s a hard cunt fresh of the farm and do it large in the boondocks. But I’m fulltime, permanant and sign sealed dilivered. (just don’t ask about how I beat the drug test)

or cog the great machine or whatever. I really should give up on this I’m working fulltime as a temp-semi-skilled-builders-labourer. That’s right it’s on my payslip each week. I even get sick pay and penal rates and Kiwi Saver. But I’m not fulltime cos I’m still “permanant temporary staff” that’s right it sounds like an oxymoron but it’s actaully quite smart cos they can fire me anytime with like two seconds notice for whatever reason they see fit. But they call it permanant so we get complacent and stay downtrodden. Still at least I keeps me off the streets and I’m squireling away the cash for when my boss grates a bit too much and I tell him so and he hands me the DMC.
