hkellickTemp Job Interview
I was there at 10:30, filled out a shitload of paperwork, watched a movie and spoke to a representative who laid it out to me.
I only realize now that if I work the sort of hours I would need to afford my own apartment, (40 hours a week) it would put a REAL cramp on looking for another job, especially one out of state where I may have to run out of state for a day or two at a time. I might be able to get away with that once in a while, but if it were an every other week sort of thing, I'd get fired and that's no good.
I suppose the only other choice, and one that's just as not-so-wonderful is to work part time for a while and keep living at home. I could probably afford to work part time and still live at home and do things like see Kristen or go to movies and such.. and still probably be able to run out of town now and then to do a job interview. To this extent, I could probably do Holiday work for a time, at least for a month or so. It would be better than food service :p
Neither choice sounds particularly wonderful, though.
Dammit all, I want a REAL job and I want it now. :p

I've done what I can for this. I've done the interview and I BELIEVE it went well (well enough, I guess, that the young lady seems to want to take me through to the next step by asking me to send a sample of my writing (I assume she means technical writing, so I polished up a paper I wrote last year for Sediment Transport (with help from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ecwoodburn (thank you again so very much, my love. I hope it didn't hurt your brain too much!)) and sent that in around noon, along with an emailed thank you letter) and did some online quiz that asked me what sort of person I think I should be and what sort of person I thought i actually was.
So.. now I wait.. and hope. Not much else I can do.
I feel.. wibblish. Not panicky, but... I don't wanna be dealing with this. I want a real job. I want to be able to plan out getting an apartment, moving and work on bringing my girlfriend to live in the same city as I, wherever tht is. All this temp job or full time or part time stuff makes me want to hide somewhere, curl up into a little ball and ignore the real world. Unfortunately, I can't do that, not when I want to still be with my girlfriend and do things with her and etc.
*sighs*
Please, Lord and Lady, I don't ask for an awful lot, but please please please make Jacques Whitford pan out. it's the sort of job I believe I'd enjoy, it's a real job and I could move on with my life.
Please, I beg you.

To become what she wants to be (A buyer for clothing companies) she has to start off as an assistant - which she can't do with just her degree. She has to get 6 motnhs retail experience (which she has done - slightly overqualified for a shop assistants job, but in the end she found somewhere) and now 6 months Admin experience. And only then will she be able to apply for Assistant's jobs which pay less than the actual admin work will.
This makes me dread going back to Uni, but I guess that Forensic Biology isn't going to require me to work 6 months in McDonalds or anything thankfully. I just think it's a bitch when you go through all the studying and training only to realise you can't actually get into the job sector due to lack or experience/skills, both of which you can't get until you have the qualification.
Rant over!
