I wake up Monday morning and get McKenna ready for pre-school. When I got back from taking her, I parked myself in front of my computer.
This would be easy, right? Send out a few resumes, wow people with my bubbly personality and go-get-'em attitude.
Piece of Cake.
I can honestly say that I easily sent out 75 resumes and cover letters out in the first week. I ransacked craigslist for jobs like I was a starving tiger on the hunt for my prey.
I applied for every job you could possibly think of. Except the ones I didn't want. Can you blame me? I'm not trying to sound like a spoiled brat, but I'm just not cut out (or trained) for a Lead Welder position. I'm also pretty sure that I would get denied of the plumbing job, the city maintenance job, and probably even the Deputy Sheriff job.
I also failed to apply for the cashier job at the local Chevron and I knew I didn't want the Auto Detailer position at the local car wash (what? Have you been to Texas in MayJuneJulyAugustSeptemberOctober?).
Yes, I was being a little picky. I'm aware.
The thing is, my next job has to meet very specific criteria:
- No more than 60 miles round trip (I know I'll be making less money than I did in Austin, so I have to justify fuel)
- Monday - Friday, 8-5 preferred (I have to be able to leave to drop off and pick up McKenna without her being the first AND last kid there)
- Absolutely NO WEEKENDS (My Husband works constantly. I have to make sure McKenna has supervision)
- Evenings are OUT OF THE QUESTION (See above).
My Qualifications and Experience:
- Office Maven
- Office Grunt
- Proficient at MS Office
- WPM: Can you smell that? That's my keyboard...ON FIAHHHH
- Phones: I love talking to people
- Accounts Payable: A little
- Accounts Receivable: A little
- Purchasing: Yes (well rounded on-the-job and personal experience - BONUS!)
The problem? Everyone under the sun is looking for my job. There are more people looking for something than there are positions open.
This is going to take a lot of patience, some umph and a farking miracle.
2 people are talkin' about my crap!:
It kinda turns me on to think of you as a deputy sheriff.
Praying for farking miracle RIGHT NOW!
You could come to Utah. There are jobs a plenty with new businesses coming in all the freaking time. I think we are number one in the nation right now.
And don't worry, I'll keep ya safe from the crazy Mormons. (Chief and I excluded)
