Hmm...

No reply yet from the company...

I will follow-up tomorrow evening if I don't hear anything. I need to ask what's up, and for a timeline.

I applied for a few jobs recently. One of the recruiters got back to me, but then immediately said I wasn't the right fit for the position, as it wasn't lined with my career interests... this was after they asked me what my career interests were, and I said them truthfully, but then they mentioned the position right after asking me, which sent them a red flag. Yes, the position is in a different industry, but determining me as not a right fit for it because my interests are different is dumb... but then again, the recruiter told me how long the employer wanted someone to settle, so I saw a red flag there too.

I don't think I can meet my goal for a new job by the end of January. Two days away and it's already a new month... Although, I'm keeping my goals short and sweet. Hopefully within the next two weeks I can find something. :)

I'm considering contract and temporary work now... at least it's something to do and to gain some experience. But I'd love to work at a permanent position with full benefits, etc. But I think companies are relying on temps and contract work more nowadays, since it's a cheaper way of doing things T_T

I was looking at a few of my colleagues LinkedIn profiles and noticed that their job history varies. Some have a few years in their positions, while others have only been at the position for a few months. I realize even though they've gone through so many positions, they still gain experience. For example, one person I had class with, she was in admin, but did some promotional stuff as well. She moved to another city and ended up with a marketing position, which is pretty awesome. I want to be able to do that too. Move on from the small things into bigger, better jobs.

I also realized, my current position might be the position I've been in the most for my work history so far. My last longest job was at Starbucks. Currently, my position is ahead as the most-worked position so far.

I know I'll find something.
