Yep that's right. I'm still here. I've now graduated and have moved on to the working world. Well, maybe not working, but unemployed. It's frustrating that I can't find a job doing anything similiar to what I want. At this point I'm almost willing to accept a crap job just to get a pay check. But I'm being picky about the job that I will take. I've been working with a placement agency and the lady their is kind of scary with how agressive she is. One day she called me four times and that is in addition to a call that I made to her after an interview. I guess she has an incentive to get me a job, mainly $2,500. I have Menard's asking me to go and take a drug test, but I know I don't want to work there. I would rather get a Team Lead Position at Target or Mervyn's before Menard's. The pay at Menard's seems real low, and I have an idea of what Mervyn's would be. I'm going to apply to some positions at Mervyn's and Target tomorrow in the morning.
I've interviewed for 3 positions at Target Corp. Not at a store but at the downtown office. It was kind of depressing since there were 3 jobs and 4 interviewees, and I was the one who didn't get a job. I know that there may have been more to it, but I'm a pessimist. I did get another 2 interviews down there though. So I guess that is a good thing. I wasn't terrible since they are still interested hiring me for the "right" position. I did get a call from the HR lady late today and wasn't able to call her back. So far she hasn't set up interviews (her assistant has), so it may be good news to hear directly from her. I plan on getting up early tomorrow and call her back.
I called the placement lady today after my interview and got her voicemail thankfully. I've been trying to think of a way and get the guts to tell her that I would rather look for work on my own for awhile than have her hunt me down. I'm also not too keen on paying her for finding me a job. I'm still holding out hope that something will come from this Target stuff. I really like the location of work and I realize that it won't be my dream job. With a large company like Target I can switch jobs as long as I get a year in. The worst thing is waiting to hear back from the places you want to work. I could really care less about hearing from Menards becasue I don't want to work there. Waiting is something I've never been good at.
