Learning Experience

The past few hours has been a learning experience all in it's own. Tonight I finally broke down and decided to look up jobs. I decided to start small, and knowing I want away from my small town I decided to look in Chillicothe, the only other territory I am more familiar with besides Muskingum County. I discovered that there are indeed many jobs focusing in the medical field, management jobs and LOTS of opportunities at food industries. I had to crack a smile at some of the listings I found. At least I know I can find a job somewhere out there. Will it pay for student loans, an apartment, a car payment, car insurance, food and other expenses? Not even close, but if I ever do get bored I am sure I can find a small part-time job two or three days a week. I also decided to finally sit down and type out a draft to a resume. I was not looking forward to this. My GPA isn't near where I would like it to be at, and due to this I have become slightly depressed at the thought of not being able to find a job. I have my fingers crossed that my work experience will benefact me down the road. I do pride myself in trying new things and doing the best I can at what I do. Also, with my job inquiring, I discovered that thanks to my work experience with handling money and a cash drawer, I am qualified to work at a bank! I have often thought about applying at a bank to have some more work experience, plus one to where you have to dress more professionally than the other places of employment I have worked at. Out of the three, two required a strict uniform, and my very first job I could go to work in sweat pants and a hoodie because it was behind the scenes work. I enjoy dressing up and looking presentable to the public. Not only would I have to look presentable, but this type of job would also give me a good excuse to go spend some money on clothes! So far my resume is a draft, and my friend Jodie, who has worked mulitple different jobs in different areas of skills (examples: She is a qualified teacher, yet she has worked in Retail, in Hotels and as Management), is taking a glance at it to see how good of a job I did. It has been about six years since I last had to make a resume. Tomorrow I plan on finding my resume I made in high school and editing my current one I just put over an hour's worth of time into. I am also going to be looking for other job opportunities. I plan on compositing a list of places I can/would like to apply to and also what zip code I would like to apply to. Right now I have some decision making to do. Apply anywhere, apply where I am most comfortable, apply in familiar territory, or apply at home (applying at home is my very last and least thought about option). I cannot wait until this whole job search is over with. I seriously cannot wait to go apartment searching! A dream would be to have an apartment with a friend, but depending on where I go that may or may not be an option. I am not the greatest person when it comes to decision making, I always try to make the other people around me happy, but I have put my fist down and have decided Murphy is not being left at my parents' house for more than a month after I find that job that will help me better myself and my future. He has been part of my life for too long, and will continue to be in my life (and the place I call home) until his dying day. There is no if, ands or buts about that. No one will change my mind when it comes to him! I will find an apartment that allows me to have him. I will not settle for a place that will not allow me to have him. I have learned something else today...I do a lot of venting while blogging...But I love it!
