What are you doing?

Just finished dinner, about ready to go see Senor Kasio at Rancho Relaxo

What do you feel?

I feel okay.  Generally happy about life and the options open to me professionally and personally.

What do you want?

I want more direction.  A bit confused right now due to being unemployed.

What do you avoid?

I try to avoid confrontation, such as should I leave the employment field to go back to school?

What do you expect?

I expect to never really understand the answers to these questions!

15 unemployed (working) days later

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

And I'm honestly not sure what I've done with my time. I've been on three job interviews. I sent out maybe about 20 or so resumes to ads on Craigslist. I am researching RMT as a new career. I got the oil changed on my car. I helped Badur move (on two different days) I had sushi. I re-started my Viva Piata game (after Colin's hard drive crashed) and am now at level 47. I started taking two green tea extract pills a day.

I have not yet found a new job (although one interview was very recent & felt positive, and one interview didn't feel positive but apparently they *do* “like me”). I have not yet started any of the work-out videos I acquired. I have not yet gone to yoga during the day when classes are less full. I have not yet called the Diabetes association as to whether or not they pick up used computer bits (monitors, keyboards, mouses etc) along with clothing & toys & books. I have not yet been approved for EI (although I think this week is the week they'll say yay or nay.)

Ah well. Tomorrow's another day!

The interview from Friday

Monday, September 22nd, 2008

So one of the funniest things is I had a job interview on Friday.  Got the call Monday regarding an ad I replied to that was anonymous from Craigslist.  For a division of a printing company in Markham.  One of the biggest printing companies in Canada, and possibly the world.

I find it funny because I’d been sending these people my resume (to whatever e-mail address I could find) for years now and never received a response, but they’ll call me when it’s anonymous through a Craigslist ad.  I guess that shows where the employers are looking these days.  It’s what I’m finding anyways.  All new “young” people know to use Craigslist as the new classifieds.

Anyways, it’s to be the CSR for one major client, who produces product catelogues twice a year.  Not knowing what the job entailed beforehand (forgetting which advertisement it was I was replying to) probably made me look just a little bit dumb.  Then again, job titles and job descriptions get mixed and matched so much it’s hard to tell what from what anymore.

It was interesting one of the two people interviewing me sort of recognized me.  He also seemed sort of familiar.  Ah well.

What are you doing?

Nothing, internet, TV

What do you feel?

Okay, I have an interview in 2 days.

What do you want?

I want a new job, or for EI to start paying me.

What do you avoid?

I avoid growing up.  I don’t want to do it.

What do you expect?

I think I am expecting to find a dream job soon.
