November 2006 Archives

I've been through changes, and they keep coming. It gets easier very time, but things are now simply compounding.

At my job as a Leasing Agent, it was a temporary one, still, they have hired the replacement, which means I will be leaving soon. Aside from that my job at the school, as a lab assistant is going to be gone soon. As they said, I am graduating, so they have not put me on the schedule for the upcoming semester. I of course have the option of becoming a non-student employee, but, well, that would not work out so well, and I would have to pay full taxes, on a job that pays very little per hour.

Indeed, I am looking for jobs, but I am always afraid that I am not qualified. Granted, that is always an odd thing. Most people say I have the skills, and that I am smart. Still, I feel that I have not created as many projects as I should, on my own to get the experience. I have a total of 23 project ideas now. I've started planning for some, but should do a better job at focusing into a single one.

The thing is, I don't doubt I will do well, or pick-up whatever skill I need. On that I am confident. The only thing that is annoying, is the hunt, and the period of change that jobs cause. I am flexible, and can do a lot, but I enjoy a bit of stability. Granted, in a good arena, change would be welcome, and interesting. Hopefully I can get a job that infuses ideas, with change, in a pleasant way. :)

Hehe. I have internet again.

After a very long, annoying, bout of trying to get it connected, it has reached success.

Ahh, now I just have to get blasting on updating all that I needed to. Oy.

So I applied for a pretty interesting program a few days ago. Today, I have received a letter informing me that I do not meet their criteria for the program.

Again, I should expect a few e-mails like that. Each company has their own criteria for selecting potential applicants, and as much as I wish, I probably can not meet every single one.

That is why the call it job searching, and not simply job finding, because a large portion of it, is searching, trying, and then searching some more. Still, I think I should get something soon. *crosses fingers*

I have started to get a few more e-mails from potential employers. Things are fine and dandy overall, but I keep seeing one distinct pattern.

A large amount of the e-mails have a interesting sentence combination. It goes something like this. "Hello, we've found your resume on 'career websiste', and we have some positions you might be interesting in. Send us a copy of your resume if you are interested"

Now, I understand it's probably for procedural reasons. As you can see, they saw my resume, and if I am interested in the job, I need to send the a copy of my resume. If I end up getting a interview with one of the companies that did that, I will ask them. Granted, they will probably think I am a smartass for questioning such things. Maybe after I am hired?

Ahh, the joys of job hunting.

Hmm, odd, I have a new boost in confidence, and also in energy.

That, indeed is something that I am liking very much. Still, have to channel it into a positive way, so something constructive arises out of it.

Internet should be here on Friday, unless Comcast manages to somehow do something stupid again. It's a love/hate relatinship with them. Sometimes I want to hug them, sometimes I want to, well, kick them in the crotch.

Today, I started sending out some job applications, and replied to some job requests that I had in my inbox.

It was actually much less stressful than I originally thought it was going to be. Hopefully I will get a job interview, or two, from all this.

Wish me luck. :)

So, the move is complete-ish.

My room sills looks messy, but it's getting there. I just would wish the washer and dryer were there already. Still, as soon as I get the internet connected at home, I am going to ramp up my persuit to a job to 100. With the internet, I will have all my conveniences, and a good home phone system for voicemail, and interviews if need me.

The prospect of job hunting is quite daunting. I've been contacted by a few people, and need to get back to them. The scariest part, is that some jobs are out of state. That means I would have to move, and live the area I have lived for the past 12 years.

Whew. If I get a job out of state, that will be tricky, but fun.

When the beds have been moved, that is the sign that it's over.

This house was great, but we are now moving on. New addresses, new neighbors.

Everything moved and relocated. I will be out of the loop for a little bit, why I get everything on the new place in line.

You make every house a home, and it will be some time, until I make a new home. Still, this teaches us many things, that we only come to appreciate later.

Goodbye 4666.
