goddamn text fieldsToday is the start of my new attitude... and it didn't start well.I'm going to be setting myself some daily goals, with regards to finding work. Today was kind of a rough start. I sent an email to follow up with Tim Hortons, but I found out later that the new store I applied to was open today... So, I guess I didn't get the job. Which sucks, because I thought the interview went really well. Maybe I'll still hear something, but I'm not betting on it. I also had this data entry job I was going to apply for. It's a temporary position, two to four weeks, 35 hours a week at $12/hour. Obviously not a solid job, but good for me right now... I just need something to fill my time until I can find something solid, preferably after the holidays. Also, I'm hoping to work at camp during the last week of December, and this job would (potentially) be finished before that point. And, it's in the building across the street from me, which is just wonderful. I spent the first couple hours today trying to write up a cover letter, but was distracted by my roommates until later in the afternoon. I finally finished the cover letter around 3:30, reading over it a couple times to make sure it was solid. Like an idiot, I clicked "Next" as soon as I was done proofreading, because I just wanted to get it sent; I should have copied it just in case of a problem (like an inevidable timeout). Of course, the page didn't go through, and I lost the letter I had spent most of my day writing. What really pissed me off was that it was an excellent letter... But I finally got another one written up, and just sent off the application. I think it was good, so hopefully I hear something soon. I was also planning to call the Goodwill I applied to last week, as well as research some jobs online, but didn't get around to either due to this data entry application and cover letter bullshit... I will give them a call tomorrow, and start digging in to find some work. As I said, not a very good start to my new plan. Hopefully things will get a little better as the week continues. I'm expecting that this attitude change and focus on finding employment will be good. My goal is to be employed by the end of the month... Maeghan is confident that I will find something in these two weeks. Anyway, there's a little update. I was pretty stressed about the cover letter failure, but I'm really glad I got the application out. Hopefully good words will come soon... |
