Days 36-37: Job Search
Some of you may know that I have been looking for a parttime job for the weekends. My AmeriCorps stipend is not paying all the bills.
Finding a decent job with the little amount of availability that I have has been challenging. And finding the energy to fill out applications, tailor my resume, and write cover letters is time consuming when I'm already working 40 hours a week.
Before today I had only completed two applications. But on Saturday I asked one of my new roommates if she had any job leads. She currently works at a crisis nursery in Minneapolis, so she mentioned their employment opportunities. After discussing my qualifications and learning about her experience, I decided to do more research.
It turns out that I am perfectly qualified for this position, and it would be easy to work on weekends.
This morning I put the final touches on a cover letter and edited my resume to be crisis nursery friendly. Twenty minutes after emailing my documents, I received a follow up email saying my application was directed to the appropriate individuals and that I would be contacted in 2 or 3 weeks if they wanted to interview.
Also, my roommate is going to put in a word for me. :)
So say a prayer or send some encouragement. I hope I get this job, not just for the money, but this would continue to ignite my passion to work with the orphaned, neglected, and mistreated children in our world.
You are so Baller! Seriously! Praying for ya!
