| | I have applied to nearly 80 jobs since I have graduated. I have had several interviews so far, yet, still no job offers.
I applied for a job at Advent Group Ministries in San Jose, Ca. and had several phone interviews, references called and an essay written for them. I applied to be a resident counselor which means that I would permanently live in the home for at least a year with 4 straight days of work (3 off) as the mom. I would be responsible to wake them up, have them do their chores, get ready and off to school, drive them to school, disipline them,get them off to their counseling appointments and group activities... all the necessary duities of a live-in nanny in a theraputic environment. These kids, ages 13-17 would either be a house of 8 boys or 8 girls who all have substiance abuse issues and are typically mandated by the court. I was excited to apply and had no idea that so many others were applying as well. I finally got word back that I am "ranked" 4th for the boys. So.. as soon as the fourth opening exists for any of the boys homes I am invited to join the team. But when will that be? That could be in a year.
I put a lot of hope into that position and being hired but realized that it was unrealistic and impracticable to not find back ups if that one falls through thr floor.
I have since applied for EVERYTHING, literally, that I am applicable for and have heared back from....
Hollister--Manager-in-Training (29-30K)
Los Angeles Child Guidance Clinic--Early Interventionist Secretary III ($13.50/hour)
Anchor Blue--Sales Associate, Part time (Assuming $8.50/hour)
Hallmark--Sales Associate--Part time (Unknown)
Palos Verdes Library District--Assistant Librarian (Interview coming soon) ($21.12-26.30/hour)
Hallmark said they are going to call me tomorrow. If I get a part time job, I might just get another part time job and keep that going for a year at least. Then maybe jump into my degree-appropriate job-- if one will ever exist.
