mood: hopeful

I'm pretty sure everyone starts summer with at least one grandiose plan or another, but that's summer for you-- it either goes by too slow or too fast, and you forget what you set out to do. You should be proud of the things you HAVE accomplished, the ideas you've gotten... and despite school sucking up your time (I'm certainly not going to argue against it, since what, this is your senior year, right?) I'm sure you'll find time to catch up on all the things you really WANT and NEED to do *cough* ISE *cough*.

The best jobs and the ones everyone thinks you're suited for are the ones that are always just out of your reach-- a neighborhood away with no car (me), full-time salary wanting someone with a BA or higher (you), or something else inbetween. As much as it sucks to say this, you do get a lot of experience working at those places that don't seem to further your education any. I mean movie theatres, juice bars, coffee shops... the like. Some of them end up having good benefits, too (Starbucks does, at any rate) or you might just meet some cool (inspirational) people.

So go for it! Sell yourself and your strengths, and it won't matter where you work, so long as you get the experience, get the money, and have fun while you're at it!

Yeaaah... I'm thinkin' we should switch to year-round school like the Japanese... XD Though it's my senior year, yes, so what does it matter?

o.o I'm hoping to get one of those kinds of jobs, but a lot of the ones even at the smaller places want some experience... _^_ You come here to get experience, but you're not experienced enough... If worst comes to worst, my friend says I'm a shoe-in for McDonald's...(He's a training manager-- and he's looking for another job but wants me to apply. _^_)

:D Thanks-- as long as I'm not wading in cow dung... I think I'll enjoy any job...

Thank you for the gunning ^_~ (the pom poms are a plus too XD). Hopefully, the interview will go smoothly. Cornelius seems goofy just like all of my OTHER Halliburton "uncles" (who have all been buggin' Cornelius to hire me ^_^).

My advise to you in job hunting is to 1. no matter how discouraged you get, keep looking. 2. never be afraid to put in for a job you want even if you think you're underqualified. 3. BUG THE HELL outta prospective employers 4. be clear about what experience you have - it's very important to be truthful - don't embellish OR undersell yourself 5. when you go on an interview, go in as if you know you already have the job - it'll ease your nervousness a bit and make you more willing to talk 6. always remember the follow-up letter to any interview ^_~

Good luck to you in your job hunting and all other endeavors!!! And - if it's any consolation - I haven't finished anything I wanted to this summer either XD 'Course, I don't have to return to school ^_~

^^ Thanks. ^^; I know I'll have to work on the extra bugging... just because that's not something I like to do, even if it's necessary. _^_;

hi!

I found you in azumanga community! Your Osaka icon (um forgot name.. you made it a gif. her hands are wailing about) is awesome! It says you made it so I was wondering if you would let me use it (with credit to you) as an icon? If not thats cool, I understand ^^

Also you sound fun! (your bio)

Hi! >3

This Osaka icon I'm using? Of COURSE you can use it! No problem at all! Thanks for asking. (^^; I only mind if I discover someone using an icon I made and not crediting...)

^_^v!
