How to find a job
It made me
Very damn happy.
 "Worked out pretty easily. I had worked at Barnes and Noble before, so they were eager to hire me again."
How I did it: Applied, interviewed.. got the job. All in all, not that bad. It may not be my dream job, but it's a start. I plan to continue pushing myself in finding a career in the art world, but at least I will have some resources at my disposal. Lessons & tips: Just put yourself out there. Sitting at home watching TV won't get you a job.

How I did it: I completely countless job applications and sycophantic ploys during interviews, but no matter what I did, it seemed no one was hiring! Finally, I decided I had no standards for my first job and I would work anywhere. I then completed the online application for McDonald's. I went in the next day to check on the status of my application, and the manager wasn't there! I was told to come back the next day. Of course, the stars did not think … Read how I did it…

It made me
feel relieved.
How I did it: Looked for jobs, applied for them, made a phone call, went on an interview. I used craigslist a lot, and when I went on craigslist I made sure not to be picky. I browsed every day for jobs in as many different areas as I thought I could work in, not just the one area I'd prefer to work in. Then I spent hours upon end applying and stuff. For this job though, all I had to do was call a number and do a 5 minute phone … Read how I did it…

Yikes.

Laid off after eight years, starting all over and like so many other, it isn’t easy.
I'm applying
6 days ago
for a research position at UCLA. Now I’m just waiting to hear back from them. If I don’t get this job, I’ll probably look for another job or go back to working at Starbucks and just try and enjoy what is left of my summer. I’m trying not to expect too much luck because of the economy the way it is and because it is so late in the summer to be looking for another job.

Jobs finding me

I’m really suprised by several jobs that have found me. I will update my objective to be really clear about what I really want. I need high pay, flex time to deal with family and the ability to work from home at least part time if needed. Worried about the winter flu season.
