Job Search Update
September 12th 2007 15:29
I thought I would update everyone on how my job search is going. You probably remember that the ideal situation was to get an on-campus job because it wouldn’t require me to drive anywhere, and therefore none of my money was going to buy gas. Well, I did it!
It actually took me three weeks since I moved back into my dorm to land a job. It also helped that one of the few people I’ve met on this campus works in the same department and talked to the supervisor there! Oh, the power of networking!
I will be working in the Public Safety department. Apparently it’s similar to what I’ve done in retail (read: dealing with angry people who don’t have any clue what they’re talking about). Haha! I start tomorrow!
What’s even better, I got a call yesterday from the library about a job too! (Things always seem to happen in clusters). I had an interview this morning at 8am. It would be nice to have two on-campus jobs. The first one is only going to be for 3 hours a week on Thursdays, so I’ll have time for a second one. Plus, I’m an English major so working in the library is right up my alley!
Were any of you looking for on-campus jobs? If so, my advice is don’t give up. I applied for so many on-campus jobs through the online application, I even went to the on-campus job fair, and only now have I finally gotten a job.
Happy job hunting!
