Looking For A Employment

Posted by admin

March 10, 2009

I don’t know about how your life has been going since the economic slowdown. A lot of people have lost their jobs, homes, and pensions. I know I personally lost my job at an football collectibles store a couple of weeks ago. It’s been pretty tough, but I know a lot of people have had it worse so I really can’t complain. Anyway ever since I lost my job I’ve been searching and trying to find something to fill the gap. The other day I figured I’d consult the Internet and searched “find new jobs” into google. To tell you the truth I didn’t figure a lot of results would come up, but I suppose with so many people looking there should be people trying to meet their demands.

The first job I was considering doing was one helping to install hardwood floating floor, mostly because it paid $20/hour. I looked at the job requirements and sadly it was a bit more then I could do. They wanted someone with past experience installing floors and I definitely don’t have that. Heck I haven’t even lifted a hammer in like 10 years. Anyway I moved on from that search and continued to look over the sites that were popping up in the search results.

Next I decided I should look for jobs I’m more qualified for. I starting looking for something in mid-management or maybe even an office assistant job. There surprisingly were a lot of those listed on almost every site I looked at. Originally I figured since there were so many people out of work one would be hard to come by. I checked these jobs out and the only real disappointment was that I am used to making more than the jobs paid.

When I sent out my applications (to 21 places total) I sat back and hoped I would hear back. Just around 2 weeks later (when I was starting to worry that no one was going to call) I heard back from 2 of the places in the same day. I was pumped. I scheduled interviews and prepared myself to go in and come off as a good employee. The first interview didn’t go so well. I’d attribute that to mostly nerves, coupled with the fact that I hadn’t done a job interview in so long. The second interview went a lot better and I was hopefully that I would be successful. It wasn’t long before I heard back with offers from two places! I was so happy to hear back from them. Now I’m all set to start next week and couldn’t be happier.
