I don’t know about how your life has been going since the economic slowdown. A lot of people have lost their jobs, homes, and pensions. I know I personally lost my job at an football collectibles 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 “find new jobs” into google. To tell you the truth I didn’t figure a lot of results would come up, but I suppose with so many people looking there should be people trying to meet their demands.
The first job I was considering doing was one helping to install cork floating flooring, mostly because it paid $20/hour. I looked at the job requirements and sadly it was a bit more then I could do. They wanted someone with past experience installing floors and I definitely don’t have that. Heck I haven’t even lifted a hammer in like 10 years. 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 began my search by narrowing it down to only jobs in middle level management or I figured I might even take an administrative assistant job. There surprisingly were a lot of those listed on almost every site I looked at. Originally I figured since there were so many people out of work one would be hard to come by. I checked these jobs out and the only real disappointment was that I am used to making more than the jobs paid.
I sent out applications to around 15 of the places I found on the internet and waited to hear back from them. I took almost a month, and I was really worried by that point, but finally I heard back from 3 places. I was pumped. I scheduled interviews and prepared myself to go in and come off as a good employee. Sadly my first job interview didn’t the way I had hoped it would. I’d attribute that to mostly nerves, coupled with the fact that I hadn’t done a job interview in so long. The new interviews went a lot better and I really thought something could come from it. It wasn’t long before I heard back with offers from two places! I was so glad that it worked out. Now I’m all set to start next week and couldn’t be happier.
