I declined the job offer I had after talking with a few people about it... it definitely wasn't the right fit, and I couldn't ignore the red flags. Culture is important and I shouldn't take a position if it doesn't fit. Also, I'm very determined to find a job I will be happy with, and I wouldn't want to put the burden on the company if I needed to resign right away. So I would've started today if I had accepted. Back to job hunting.
Since then, a lot of things have been looking good. I'm currently in consideration for a marketing job for a marketing consultant's client, I'm not sure what stage I am at right now in the interview process, but it looks pretty good. They're asking me a lot of questions about my experience. But the thing is I don't know too much about whether it's a right fit. I think it's a part-time position based on the job ads that they have posted on sites, but I'm not even sure if it's an ongoing position. Seems like a position for a month or a few months. Also, one of the requirements listed was a drivers license, which I don't have, but when I had the phone interview, I think the interviewer said they might be able to get around that, and asked if I use public transportation. I know this job has a lot of locations I would need to get to, in other cities... so I don't know, but it looks like they are still considering me.
Also, today I received a response to my intern ad. There's a company looking for an intern, unpaid right now but they said there will be paid opportunities in February. I replied with a resume and my portfolio as per their request, so hopefully we can work something out. I really would like to learn more about marketing and the possibility for a paid opportunity is also really awesome! Hopefully the hours are reasonable, I will still need to work a job in the mean time.
I also applied to one job today, so hopefully I can get an interview soon!!! I applied to a few positions a while ago, but their due dates aren't until the first week of December. I am trying to reach my goal of finding an opportunity before the holiday season, and be able to have an offer for the new year.
