Feb. 4th, 2009 02:22 pmI hate writing resumes etc. I'm always terrified I'm not presenting myself as well as I could, or that I missed a comma somewhere or something.
Also, the printers here SUCK BALLS. Seriously. That actually really bothers me. I'm applying at FREE GEEK for gods sake.
Well, actually, they might understand. Hm.
I really want this damn FreeGeek job. I just think I would rock it so hard. They want an essay, so I put it in my cover letter really, and was walking this fine line between being Very Serious Because I'm Applying for a Job and saying "OMG hire me you want me I would rock this job so hard."
This despite the fact that, according to my math, I would be taking home just barely over half what I did at my last place. I would be making enough for rent and food and that's about it. On the upside, I would have lots more time to myself, which means I can live much more cheaply. Since losing my job, I have cooked a lot more, and I cook inexpensive things that serve me for several meals. I always beat myself up for not cooking when I was working full-time, but I was just so tired and didn't want to cook anything. Right now it's like, "Hmmm, I'm bored...I think I'll make muffins!"
I could always attempt to make stuff and sell it, or get a second job, or something. We'll see.
On a very definite upside, I contacted one of the providers at my old job, a Physician's Assistant for whom I was the medical records person. She always thought I was The Awesome, so I was very pleased when she said that Yes! She'd love to be a reference! And gave me her phone number. Two of my former medrecs coworkers said they'd be references, but it's really nice to have someone higher up on the office hierarchy, who worked with me directly.
