i need a job- wait. change that. i been needing a job. i am quite tired of my income depending on my family. quite very tired indeed. i want to be able provide for myself again like i used to + be able to help out my mom. not my sis though. she too busy buying sugar crap + egging me on to get her a blackberry phone. this 11 year old wants a smartphone. i told her she needs to phone herself to school + learn. ohjeez. i am my mother's child.
so lately i done resumed my job hunt full force since my fall semester in school is almost done. i got my resumes printed out (at least 10 copies on deck wherever i go. this is serious!), traveling around in shirt, slacks, + tie (all starched + pressed... serious!!), popping my head in anywhere i see a decent place of labor (now i aint gon just work any flimsy dark-hole-in-the-wall where... hah! it aint that serious.). i will be working my bum off somewhere!
but you know what? its a hard knock life for us job hunters that are just looking for a good seasonal or long term part-time job. well, at least for me. heres a few things that making the employment hunt depressing:
1. asking for an application + hearing them say that we just finished hiring for this year YESTERDAY.
2. asking for an application + seeing that this woman is clearly tired of folks asking her that same qeustion over again.
3. calling your former supervisor about working seasonal + they WONT answer the phone for nothing + decides to go ghost for a MONTH.
4. filling out the same information on an application over + over... + over... + over... + ov- ugh, you get my gist.
5. GOIN' ALL THE WAY OUT CROSS THE OTHA SIDE OF TOWN TO A FREAKIN' JOB FAIR THAT ONLY HAD 2 BUSINESSES THERE THAT YOU CANT DO ANYTHING WITH!!! DAMN YA, COBB GALLERIA + DIVERSITYJOBFAIR!!
6. writing down on my work experience the job that i stayed at for only two months... it was time conflicts... dont even laugh chrissy...
7. not knowing why i dont get a job.
im grudging on though. i feel like i am a hard worker + could be a valuble employee anywhere i am placed at. im trying to show these employers how dedicated + useful i can be but it feels like its not shining through because im not getting hired or any response. is it my resume? is my experience not enough? was i talking too little or too much? was it the color of my shirt?
i have a lot of things that i want to get accomplished + its going to take a lil more than will, time, + determination. yeah, ima need some dough... so i got to get a job + soon. oh + while we on the subject, i would like to announce the start of my new foundation:
H.A.B.A.D.O., Inc.
Help A Broke Ass Dude Out, Incorporated
