How to get a job that i actually like. by Flyin_Bryan

"It takes a lot of work!"

How I did it: Checked the job postings every single day!  Sometimes I was tired after work or are frustrated, but I still checked every day.  I probably applied for over 100 jobs and interviewed for at least 20.  It was pretty frustrating never getting the job, but I finally got a good one.

Lessons & tips: Apply for many, many jobs, go to the job fairs, even if there are only one or two companies that would want someone with your skills.  Never stop looking.

    Got a great temporary job anyway! 7 months ago

    It looks like I’m getting hired with a small company where everyone is super friendly. The only problem is that it is only for 2 months! They seem like they would like me to stay longer, but they have to find something for me to do first!

    Great interview today! 15 months ago

    I had a great interview today and have a followup Friday. The job requires me to go to yoga/pilates/dance classes – for free – as part of the promotions for the company. How awesome! I’m so excited!

    not given up exactly... 3 years ago

    I am “giving up” this goal to go back to school! I’m sure I’ll resume it promptly once I have that degree in hand. :D
