Gonna Attempt To Make Me Some Money... Again

So the interview last week went really well, I walked out of it feeling like I could conquer the world! But here's what went down: Basically, I am overqualified for the position I had sent in my resume to them for. It was strictly reception and quite honestly both me and the interviewer knew that I would be bored out of my skull. I've done a lot of different contracts and have a lot of different skills thanks to my BMus education and my experience with a youth organization I work with. The interviewer told me straight out that he would place me in a position that I wasn't qualified for, because I would become qualified for it while in the position. Great compliment, except that NOBODY ELSE IN THE WORLD IS WILLING TO DO THAT. For example, I have an interview with another staffing agency this afternoon and applied for an HR admin assistant position through them, which is EXACTLY what I want. Over the phone, the lady told me that the client is "looking for someone who already has an HR certification." Great. Then again, maybe she'll meet with me and realize the same thing my first interviewer did.
My interview last week really gave me the confidence to not settle for just anything. Yeah I have bills to pay, but I want to enjoy my life. Doing reception at my old job I wanted to stab my eyes out everyday and felt totally under-used. I have an Honors degree, I was on the Dean's List... I just feel like I should be so much more than I am right now and the right job will come around, I just have to be patient and hope it doesn't take longer than how long it will take for my savings to run out!
I just wish I hadn't woken up with a sore throat this morning. I feel like crap but I've gotta get a move on with this job finding process. And I wish it wasn't raining because now I have to worry about avoiding getting myself and my resume/references wet. And at some point I need to clean my whole place... maintaining such a small space is surprisingly difficult.
Oh! And we also got our computer fixed - a friend of ours who is taking computer engineering (or something like that) wiped our hard drive and reformatted the whole thing. I'm so glad we didn't have to buy a new computer... We want to get a second one, just not right now!

Gonna Make Me Some Money!

Huzzah! There is finally progress on the job hunt!!
In the past 2 days, I've probably sent out between 30-35 resumes and harrassed all my friends who have jobs to find me something, and last night I had a mini break down. I know, I know, it was just 2 days since I started seriously searching, but I have been off work for a week now and I HATE the idea that I'm not making money. Because of my tax return I have enough in my account to pay for my student loan payment for this month and next month's rent, but after that I'm going to have to start going into my savings. And with a Northern Ontario roadtrip planned for the end of the summer and tickets to the Olympics next year, I have quite a bit I need to save up for. And that's not to mention general saving up for things like a downpayment for a house.
But I have an interview tomorrow! Granted, it's with a staffing agency, but it's for a reception position downtown and judging by the job description, it seems exactly the same thing as I was doing at my last reception job. So they can't not hire me on the basis that I am not experienced! Take THAT, bitches!

I mean, wont you please hire me on permanent so that I can stop this job search crap every month?

10 bucks says I start on Monday.

Have I Mentioned That I Love This Recession?

Well probably not to you, considering this is my first post. But I am sure I have mentioned it to many people that I actually know. This recession is quite unkind to the recent grads of '08... I've been out of University for almost a year now, and have had 4 semi-long term temp jobs to show for it. The latest of which will be ending after tomorrow.
I just texted my mom to let her know, and her response: "Oh i guess u must of expected it." Umm, thanks for the sympathy?? In all fairness though, I was wondering when they were going to let me go... in the past 5-6 weeks that I've been working here, I've probably done about 1 1/2 weeks worth of work. The rest of the time they tell me they have nothing for me, so I check my email a million times and check my bank account a million times, then read msnbc.com and fmylife.com (GREAT site by the way!) til I've read all the stories and then drink lots of water so that I have to pee 10 times so that I have an excuse to get up and DO something. So I guess I'm lucky I wasn't let go earlier.
At least the weather is nice-ish now. Maybe I'll take up running again in my spare time. That should kill what, 30 minutes each day?? *stabs eyes out with dried up bamboo stick left from the lady she's replacing who is available to come back in to work when they periodically need her which is causing lil S to be unemployed*

Think happy employment thoughts for me, okay?? And for the record, this first post is not a fair representation of me. I swear, I'm a happy child!! But having no job makes me bitchy, apparently.
