Sporadic
So y’all have maybe noticed that I’m not posting frequently these days. Mostly that’s because for the previous few weeks I was looking seriously for a job, but there wasn’t really much else happening and I didn’t think anyone wanted to read:
Day 14 of Unsuccessful Job Hunting:
Still no job.
Day 15 of Unsuccessful Job Hunting:
Still no job.
Day 16 of Unsuccessful Job Hunting:
Still no job.
etc…
And then, last week, I got a job! It was totally unexpected. Another one of those positions I have a knack for getting where I’m not entirely qualified. And I didn’t think the interview went that well really. But call me he did, and I started last Monday. I’m working at a local skateboard/snowboard shop as the Web Store Manager, which is a cool job and will definitely challenge me. It’s also full-time, and there’s quite an adjustment to go from not working or only working part-time for the last two years to a regular full-time gig. Once I adjust, I’ll no doubt have time to update from work, but until then posting will likely be sparse.

Congratulations! Don’t spend all those big bucks before you get them though.

I think you are qualified for most any job you decide you want. Congrads!

Mom, I don’t know what you’re talking about! What’s that? You want to know about all this new furniture…? oh, this stuff was, um, well, it was a really good deal, right…? and um, I’m getting paid tomorrow and all….
Kathy, I am capable of doing just about any job, but unfortunately employers tend to be kind of uptight about the actual qualifications. So I have a tendency to spin the contents of my resume ever so slightly so that it seems that “I have a already done a job *very very* similiar to the one you are hiring for”. And then I find myself being a web store manager when I’ve never tried online sales for anything more complicated than our used couch on Craigslist. And then I have to scramble pretty fast to learn how to do things that my employer assumes I already know how to do. But I apparently enjoy that, because I do it to myself a lot, and it seems to work out.
