I did mention I was job hunting last night at the knitting club and maybe someone will hear of a job and pass it along.
One of the women works at a real estate agency and told me they are looking for "younger people" and I had I thought about a career in real estate.
But I don't know if I want to invest the time it takes and it's doesn't feel like the best time to try real estate as a career. However, I am going to stop by her office next week and talk to her and get some more information, at least to just make a connection.
Argh, askye, that's freaking annoying.
I'd still call back once a week, no more, keep your name in the person's mind.
"Hello, Ms/Mr Name this is askye at 123-456-7899. I'm calling to check in on available receptionist or administrative assistant work. I'm still looking for a FT position, but I'm eager to get back to work. Please call me if you see anything that would match my qualifications. Thank you so much, NAME, and I appreciate all you're doing for me. I hope you have a good week."
Also, Vortex, that was awesome!
Ok, I got sleep meds last night, but stayed up a little too late working on a resume, but I still woke up earlier than the past insomnia week! At, um, 12:30. Going to bed earlier tonight FOR SURE.
I am be-coffee'd, dressed, flea-work done (except for MORe laundry in machine), walked the dog and am hieing off in 10 minutes for more resume work. As soon as I eat some cereal.
Yeah I need to start calling the other temp agencies. I just got tired of calling and hearing there were no jobs.
If I weren't such in a good place emotionally I'd start taking this personally and thinking I'd managed to piss off every employer in Vermont just by moving here.
askye, I think it's a good idea to go meet with her. One of my best friends is a top SF realtor and she's always needing help in the office with administrative stuff and she pays pretty well. So maybe if you don't want to be a realtor, you can work part time in the office?
{{smonster}} So sorry. What Toddson and the other Buffistas said, times ten.
askye, sorry, and good luck. I hope something comes up soon.
I read "linger" as 'finger" Needless to say, it gave me a different view of the whole thing.
::snort::
askye, do you have 60 college credits? Have you thought about subbing?
And...my cereal is et, and clothes are in the wash. Back to work, Bitches!
smonster - so sorry about your roommate. I don't see how eating at your table could possibly be construed as "lingering" in the kitchen/dining area.
Why should you have to put up a curtain? If it bothers her, I think she should do it. It's her space, no?
I stopped at BB&B but didn't buy anything. I'll hang up a sheet with binder clips if necessary. I don't even want to talk to her tonight, so I'm saying fuck it and eating out. And I'm going to move Frankie's food and water bowl out of the kitchen.
I don't think I have 60 credits. I know there are para educator jobs around here where the requirements seem to be - 18 years of age and no criminal record. It's something to look into.
Being a realtor does have some appeal so I am going to look into it. My brother tried his hand at it didn't work out very well, but he's in a different market and maybe things would be different up here.
And one of the latest job listings on Craigslist is - 2 part time admin assistant through Spherion. So I called and left a message that I am interested.
