I know all I blog about nowadays is work and jobs... I can't help it since it's constantly on my mind, I'm being reminded about it constantly by others, and well it's getting hard to shoulder student loans and miscellaneous bills.
Work in general has been alright lately since I took on some full time hours. I've been doing mostly marketing/administrative tasks at work for the last week, but it keeps me busy and I learn a lot when I'm doing it. I also received the opportunity to be more creative with my work, so that is always a bonus!
I applied for two marketing positions so far, and decided to check out other job postings. I won't mind admin jobs as long as it doesn't have to do with accounting related stuff... I just couldn't stand the repetitive information and data entry tasks I had at my previous position, but I will do everything else while being positive. I'm going to apply for another marketing position, but this position isn't full-time... it's another contract, but it looks like it comes with benefits, so I wouldn't mind as much... but I should probably be looking more at full-time positions, anyway.
The other job I applied for with a referral... I haven't heard back from them. It's been 3 weeks... I'll wait two more weeks, hopefully I get a call soon.
As a new grad, it's hard to find something that's specific to my field, and with reasonable commute. There's one place I could apply to in the south, but they don't really have reliable public transportation to there... and I don't have a car.
I guess I'll apply for admin positions today. Right now I'm willing to work a year or two just to save up funds and pay off bills. I can always just do some freelancing on the weekend or other things, or take days off to do other work.
I'm hoping to find a full time position either before the new year, or before February. February marks the month I received my first full-time job... wow.
