unemployment. we meet again.
my last part-time tutoring job officially ended as of last Thursday. SES tutoring providers’ employment calendar coincide with two things: the allotted number of tutoring hours each student is given each year and the school calendar.
all my kids finished their hours and the anaheim school district is just about one month’s worth of instruction shy of the end of the year and summer vacation.
meaning, what up estranged best friend Indeed.com?? let’s do this.
as scary and daunting it is to see my funds dwindling down gradually as the days progress, it’s pretty exciting to be on the job prowl again, throttling head first into the unknown, into the abyss that is unemployment. i’ll probably regret saying that sometime this week after writing the thousandth cover letter, after trying to smooze over so and so’s company’s hiring manager.
maybe it’s just a major adjustment in attitude but job hunting this time around feels a lot more exciting than last time, when it was more so a feeling of dread and out-right being scared shitless about being a purposeless, jobless sloth forever. i’m genuinely eager to see where my next potential job’ll take me. east coast? nor cal? mid west? or what kind of job i’ll land and in what industry.
i’ve applied to some admin positions at google and facebook just for shits. my resume and experience are nothing special but it’s worth a shot.
even though i’m taking my GRE’s in late august, i kind of want to put grad school on the back burner for now. i need a longer breather away from the educational-institution atmosphere and am itching to experience other, different things in life.
i have high hopes for you, Job Search and Ambition. in the words of john lennon, DoOOn’t lEt me DoOOOOWNNNN!
here’s to the next however many weeks of incessant job hunting, dollar stretchin’, collectin’ coin and coinstar-in’ it, and, of course, to the last couple hundred dollars in my account.
cheers!
