Job Hunt
I have officially applied for 15 jobs, all online. 2 of them required me taking my resume in, one of them I think I have a good chance at because my former boss/moms best friend is chummy with the boss there and said she would talk to him for me. Although it is working with developmentally disabled adults, not interior design...I loved my job working with Adults w/ DD and found it extremely rewarding but its not using my major so it makes me feel like college was sorta a waste. My other in person resume was at Carpet Barn which is an ALL commission job...which makes me extremely nervous because there was 1 person (the employee) in when I turned in my resume. I'm sure that I could probably make a lot of money there but I don't like not knowing how much I'll make...Today I got a call back for an interview, at Wyndham Resorts doing sales, it seems like a fun job, I know a guy who did it in HS and made BANK but I googled Wyndham after I made an interview time and realized its on the other side of Branson which equals a 58 minute drive, when not in old people traffic, one way to work everyday...I e-mailed the lady back and apologized but I didn't think I would take a job with such a commute and didn't want to waste her time, I'm sure I'll regret it if in 3 weeks I'm still unemployed but I'd like to think I'm eligable for SOMETHING with a college degree in Springfield Missouri!! I've applied for several college related advisor positions, seems like a really odd job for me but I like organizing and scheduling so... University of Phoenix had 2 and MSU has 1. MSU also screwed over my friend Amy and she is 1 credit hour short of her 125 to graduate TOMORROW so I'm pretty sure they need some Advisors who can count, plus its a 9 month contract which would equal 3 months of vacation for me!! I've also applied for Pharamacutical Rep jobs (but I can't really travel because Blake does so much and someone has to be home with the babies) Loan Processors, Store Managers, Receptionists and an Events Cordinator, oh yeah Home Depot is hiring a Designer...So in 13 days I've applied for 15 jobs. Also I have a call tomorrow with the unemployement office to figure some stuff out, they mailed me a letter. If I can get it all figured out I'll receive $85/week for up to 33 weeks...If I get $85/week for more than a month I will literally want to kill myself. I figured out if I spend NO MONEY on anything except rent, utilities & insurance it costs me $12/day to live = $40/month more to live than I'll make on unemployment if I don't eat, thankfully Blake has been taking care of me (semi) because I did take care of him for his 6 months of unemployment and I have some money saved up but BOY does being poor SUCK!!
