so my resume looks good, i am damned good at what i do, this should be no problem.
but it is hard to keep your spirits up.
i am having to fill out this application at various places, it is the same application everywhere and i think it is all a rip-off of union square cafe's. it includes the question of where fired you... i am lying and not mentioning usc. fuck them, they can't tell another employer if they call - they can only say my dates of employment. this application also includes many questions that are annoying like "what are your goals in this industry". one is not allowed to say well it pays well, i don't have to get up early and commute with everyone else, it is not too taxing and i don't feel like i am giving my life to "the man".
i want someone to just hire me so i can get back to working hard and being good at what i do. it is hard for this not to get to my sense of self.
so far i have been to like 12 places. today i had a cattle call interview at momofuku, it went well and i think i will get a call back but who the fuck knows. and i am not sure it is a job i want, but it might be a job for right now. there was this other place where i could trail at tomorrow nite but it is SO NOT a job i want. i shouldn't have even gone in but i did. i have to call them tonite and tell them i won't trail.
i think i will play the lottery.
