Work
April 5th 2008
Today I restarted the job hunt. First thing was to touch up the resume. I was never good the whole resume thing. Something about summarizing everything I have to offer to an employer in a sheet of paper is damn near impossible. These kinds of things are the kind of thing I think I can best show off in person. Its hard to show how personable you are through a generic piece of paper. Having very little work experience to put on my resume also isn’t very comforting.
Sometimes I wish I had started working earlier. I wanted to focus on studies so I held off on getting a job until I was finished with high school. Figured I would focus on studies instead. Probably would have been a good idea to find a crappy restaurant to work at and build up some work experience. As of now all I have as far as real work goes is a 5 month stint in a call center. I did well there, but we were essentially numbers in that place, so despite doing well in that place it wasn’t like I was getting a reference out of that place.
I’m hoping that I don’t need to go back to the call center this summer. I’m going to exhaust every option short of fast food before I hand in a resume at the call center. And if I find a job that is IT related it would count as a work term, and I wouldn’t have to do the 5 week project. I’d hate to do that to my team, but it would be nice to get paid and get a school credit rather than spending 5 weeks working on an application. I love cash.
Douce wanted me to comment on how he just scratched his balls. And again, second time. Merry Christmas Remer. I don’t know what your going to do with all of this internet fame.
Later folks.
