applying for a job 2moro paying 12 an hour plus benefits 2 months ago

Clerical work, something I’m an expert in. I’m hoping to get it, but even if I don’t, I found another job from which I can work from home (a la Out of Office). The job search is finally getting somewhere.

Got another resume forwarded... 10 months ago

...to the department, but haven’t yet gotten an e-mail from them or gotten a call. Hiring in big organizations takes a long time, so I’m gonna have to be patient. Still, I found two more jobs to apply for, and am doing so today.

Just moved back to Seattle after temporary job... 10 months ago

...and I’ve applied to fourteen positions (ones that I’d really like to do) in the past week. The “status” of a few of them (large organizations with online employment sites) has changed for the positive (“resume forwarded to dept”), which could be good!

I’ve applied to five more jobs. Let’s see what happens.



Quite honestly... 15 months ago

I haven’t really worked on getting a job. But I’m starting school very very soon if all goes well, so I’m going to see if I can do that work study thing where you get paid for working at school. It’s not a lot of money, but I don’t have to go everywhere.

On the search... 15 months ago

I applied for seven positions last week, with a resume and coverletter. I’m looking for an entry-level biotech job or assistant research position in a hospital. Wish me luck! It’s not my dream exactly, but I need something that interests me to hold me over until I get some things sorted out…



Got A Great Job 17 months ago

For 2 straight months I have been looking for a job. Any job. I have found one that not only pays well but also fits my life. I work til 2 pm and I don’t work weekends. With 2 kids this is a great schedule for me. The job isn’t to difficult. I’ve learned that if you work hard and never give up, your goals can be reached.

It would be good to start working and saving money



Untitled 2 years ago

Haven’t been pursuing this as I should have been. Today I put this near the top of my list under Learn Java which is a goal that will help this – I hope.

to employer-networks.

I hadn’t even done that much in a couple years, so I’m definitely starting to work on this goal.
