warning-only venting
Posted On 05/13/2008 11:38:09 by leomouse

I’m annoyed with my whole family… grrr… soo i finished school for the year, I applied for like 3 jobs which I didn’t get since I don’t have experience. Finally my bf kinda pushed me to work at a company which is not the best for their employees (lol I won’t say where just in case someone on here works there). It’s not a dream job, it’s quite bad but it is a job, I choose to work night shift and do stocking and stuff, now everyone is acting soo disappointed.

Wtf if I didn’t get that job I would probably sit on my @$$ this summer pretending I’m looking for some fancy jobs and I would be broke and would have to depend on others. I got a lecture from my mom that I should be volunteering at some government companies, I got a lecture from my dad that I must go to graduate school, it’s sooo expensive and is it even worth it? I’m in soooo much debt now and I feel like I can’t work in many of the jobs that are out there.. I am trying to be responsible and act like an adult, most people had jobs throughout high school, I had 2 jobs in the past both short term, I lack the social skills to be good and I’m scared to apply to some of the jobs that might pay more.  I’m almost done uni, and even if I do get good grades, I need to learn how to be assertive and talk to people and I think just about any job will help me gain that, not sitting at home and looking for jobs which I’m not qualified for… My brother even got pissed off  that I went back to that company, it’s not like I’m stuck there for life, I wanna work NOW and feel like i can take care of myself, I can’t climb a huge mountain when I stumble on a little hill, they just don’t get it waaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh lol ok soo I’m done my whining for tonight and I’m a little better

I think that you are right and make good points.  I get frustrated with people who sit around all day watching TV, since they can't find that "perfect" job too.  Everyone has to eat, right?  I agree that the volunteering and Master degree won't help you land that job after uni much.  Better to have work pay for any Master's degree afterwards.  With all that said, you should keep looking for a better summer job.  Your job is at night, so you still have time to interview during the day.

Even if you take a pay cut, you should try to find a summer job/intern at something related to your uni degree.  Even if it is a low paid 2 month deal, it looks really good on the resume.  If 2 people apply for a job, it helps if one has any experience.

Make sure that you didn't take the "crappy" job again, just because it is familiar for you.  Look at the summer job search as a chance to take a fun risk.  What is the worst that can happen?  Even if you get fired or it doesn't work, you don't have to list it on your resume later!  You can just say you took that summer off.  Tongue out  Good luck!
