'looking for the right person'
classifieds 'looking for the right person' never get back to me. is the 'right person' overqualified for the usually mindless work that the ad is requesting?
you know, it takes 45 minutes or so to learn how to be a receptionist. you don't need 'a minimum of 5 years' experience to answer phone and wrangle wild fax machines. that's why temping is so popular- you learn many jobs, usually different ones each week, with little to no training.
so this 'right person' crap is just so silly.
i have given up on office work. today i applied to several more Davis establishments just looking for the cash monies while i apply to more serious positions in san francisco. I'm reaaally hoping for the ben and jerry's store. the kid yesterday said 'you ought to hand in a really creative resume- to catch their attention.' so this morning i drew cows and ice cream in colored pastel all over a resume and gave it to the boss. then i bought a strawberry cheesecake shake, and it was amazing.
i have an escape pod. but i don't want to use it unless i can't get a job by May. then it's overseas again.
i'd much rather stay in the bay area and get a job and be not an expatriot.
