Well, some of my effort in sending out resumes has paid off.  I answered a blind ad in the Advocate a little while back, and I finally got a response from it.  At least I think I figured out which ad it's from...the most recent time I replied to the Advocate was back in late December, and they're just now getting back to me!

Anyway, I have an ( Read more... )

I got a call from Carlyle Walmart this morning and I got the part time cashier job!  My orientation is at 8:15 on Thursday morning.

I'm not looking forward to driving thirty minutes just to get to a Walmart job, but then again, I think this may be one of the best Walmart jobs I could get.  The store isn't a supercenter, so the hours will be less ( Read more... )

I got a call from the elementary principal, Mr. Paslay, at 10:30 pm tonight to tell me that the school board is hiring someone else.  I cried for a while, but it wasn't quite as bad as when I got rejected from the Administrative Assistant to the City Manager position.  But it was still bad enough.

First things first.  I got a call today for an interview in Greenville!  The junior high/elementary schools need a secretary, so I get to sell myself to that end.  That's pretty much all I know about the job, so I'll find out when I get there, I suppose.  The interview is on Thursday, October 6, and any prayers are greatly appreciated!

Other than ( Read more... )

Well, I didn't get the job in Greenville.  I got the rejection letter in the mail on Monday, and after a depressed, tearful day, I fell into a fitful sleep full of disturbing images and nightmares ( Read more... )

I had an interview in Greenville this past Friday, October 10th.  It was in Greenville for an Administrative Assistant to the City Manager position.  I made it through the phone interview with David Willey pretty well, and even after I got the impression that he would call quite a few more people before making face-to-face interviews, I got another ( Read more... )

This is a feeling entirely too weird for someone who has been looking for a job for over eight months.  As of yesterday, I accepted a job offer.  A good job, even.  A job that uses my English degree that I paid thousands of dollars for.  A job as a Writing Consultant at Ashford University in Clinton, IA.  And now I don't know what to do.

I'm a bit ( Read more... )

It's hard to believe that in a week and two days, I'll be married.

Most of the time I feel like it will all be okay and that this is the next logical step in my life.  But then sometimes, like yesterday and today, I feel really homesick for the home and family I haven't even left yet (yes, even mean old Emily).  Once I get married and Chad and I ( Read more... )
