I had interview #2 for what might possibly be the perfect job for me, well, very nearly perfect. Perfect would be getting paid to eat Nutter Butters in my pajamas while watching America’s Next Top Model marathons and playing WordTwist on Facebook. But the economy is tough and there just doesn’t seem to be any [...]
The interview was winding down, when one of my interviewers asked a final question. “What’s the best 49 cents you ever spent?” he asked. “Wow,” I said, and cocked my head to the side to think. “Gee. . .” “This is a softball one,” he said. “Huh.” I said. “I don’t know.” “Paul Westerberg’s 49:00,” [...]
It’s an odd feeling being overcome with relief while wanting to kick your own ass at the same time.
Executive Decision #1: Instead of saying that I am unemployed, I am going to say that I am a freelance writer who works from home and is considering full-time employment. I mean, it’s true and all, but I decided that it’s all about how you look at things. Right? Right? Executive Decision #2: I am [...]
This morning I had coffee and, eventually, lunch with some former co-workers. It was probably the best thing I’ll do all week. I feel like I should pay them all whatever the going rate for a therapist is. Three of our group of five are still unemployed and looking for work. “I freak out about [...]
I’ve been parked in front of Jed, my laptop, all morning applying for a job. I wish I could say jobs, but that would be a lie. It took me many hours to prepare a resume and cover letter for just one single job. There was a small break for Ellen and a brief interlude [...]
I was just sitting here in the La-Z-Grrl with my glasses on top of my head and tears pouring down my cheeks. Yes, I was weeping. Oh, I am so embarrassed to admit this. I was weeping because I had to cut back on the cable and now I will no longer get my beloved [...]
I used all my writing cells today for things that actually make me money so I got not much left for here However, I still wanted to tell you that I thought Hills looked damn smart in her orange suit, it looked really good against that blue background One dude on my twitter commented that [...]
Awhile ago I had a bit of angst about writing my resume and how to handle the iwilldare.com factor. Well, today I solved that problem. I had a second interview for a potential gig and in that interview I blabbed about iwilldare.com and how I started it and why. The interviewer thought it was pretty [...]
Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I’m pretty pumped.
I’ve had a lot on my mind lately which prevents me from writing. Writing requires brain capacity and mine is being all used up thinking about things and stuff. I’ve managed to score a second interview for a potential gig. This astounds me to no end. It’s been a very long long time since I’ve [...]
I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I’m going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this.
If I weren’t already losing my job, Jayto, my boss, would totally fire me for slack unbecoming a productive member of society. I had all this homework to do for our Job Hunting 202 class and I didn’t get any of it done. Somehow I am unable to find the precarious balance between hermitude and [...]
I can’t even remember how the topic came up, I think that part of my brain went black after the synapses started misfiring. All I remember is hanging out after a meeting and Maria saying, “Let’s see how you show up in Google.” As Maria’s fingers tapped across the keyboard getting ever closer to my [...]
Dear World, I probably just spammed you with LinkedIn notifications. Sorry. I am not so good at this. Kisses Jodi
