Searching For A Career
I don’t know about how your life has been going since the economic slowdown. Hard times have befallen people for lots of reasons from losing jobs to having their mortgage foreclosed. I know I personally lost my job at an American football store a couple of weeks ago. It’s been pretty tough, but I know a lot of people have had it worse so I really can’t complain. Anyway ever since I lost my job I’ve been searching and trying to find something to fill the gap. The other day I figured I’d consult the Internet and searched “free online job boards” into google. I was surprised that so many results came up, but I suppose the job market is big business in these times.
The first job I was considering doing was one helping to install hardwood floating floor, mostly because it paid $20/hour. Regrettably the requirements were to onerous for someone like me. They were looking for someone who could do a lot of physical labour and that isn’t me. To be truthful I get tired mowing my lawn. Anyway I moved on from that search and continued to look over the sites that were popping up in the search results.
After that disappointment I thought the smarter plan would be to look for jobs I have done before. I starting looking for something in mid-management or maybe even an office assistant job. To my delight there were a lot of that type of job being posted on the net. When I first started that search I thought that jobs would be in high demand and thus there would be few of them available. I checked these jobs out and the only real disappointment was that I am used to making more than the jobs paid.
When I sent out my applications (to 21 places total) I sat back and hoped I would hear back. Just around 2 weeks later (when I was starting to worry that no one was going to call) I heard back from 2 of the places in the same day. Naturally I was quite excited and did my best to prepared and get looking good for my job. The first interview didn’t go so well. I shrugged it off and chalked it up to the fact that I haven’t had to interview for a long while. The new interviews went a lot better and I really thought something could come from it. Yesterday I heard back from the place and I got the job! I was so happy to hear back from them. In a week or so I start at my new job and I am so excited.
