The Mighty Huntress Stalks Her Prey
Apr. 16th, 2010 04:49 pm Job Hunt 2010 Update - turned in two more resumes today. Had one job interview on the spot (it was a data entry job). It was funny - I walked in wearing my nice white collared shirt and flirty spring skirt. I had no idea where this place was, but once I found it - turns out it's in a dirty old seed and farm equipment warehouse with some offices. Oh well, better overdressed than under-dressed, right? (If I do get that job, I'll get to wear jeans! Yay!)
Anywho, the interview basically was "Let me show you what we do and ask you if you could do it - oh, and here are some basic questions about using the computer." I think it went well, he really let me talk about what I can do on the computer and how I figure things out. I wish more employers did that - I've taken maybe on computer class in high school. The rest of what I know is self-taught (thank you LiveJournal! Seriously - a lot of what I know is because I like my blog to look spiffy. I was surprised at how much I actually knew how to do). Well, he said he liked me and if it doesn't work out for this position, he has another bookkeeping position that he'd consider me for. It's less hours than the other one, but it's more money per hour, so I guess it's a fair trade-off.
The other one I applied for was a bookkeeping job at a variety store, but I don't know if I'll get that one. As I was filling out my application, I realized how weird it looks that I have an 18 month gap in my work history thanks to my serving a mission. I explained the situation on my resume, so it should be all right.

Dad said I looked depressed yesterday. I don't know why. He had some business guys over at the house talking about... whatever... and I just didn't want to be underfoot while they were doing it. So, I holed myself up in my room, finished some homework and watched some more subbed episodes of "Sailor Moon". 'Course, watching episodes of one show for so long puts me in kind of a weird funk, so that could be what he was referring to. Meh... it's nice not to have to think about things for a while - just shut your brain off and relax.
