Up all night

March 7th, 2009 at 11:56 am

When I finally got to bed it was almost 2am then I kept getting up all night/morning. Now it's 6am and I am back up. I did take the advice from Fern and went on the local workforce alliance website and submitted applications to our local courthouse (3 positions) all in all I think I applied to at least 20 jobs yesterday...lol the sad thing is I can't even remember some of them.
I have calls out to friends, 2 are nurses who work in the hospital who'll be checking with their boss' on Monday, 1 is a radiologist tech who's checking with a friend tonight and another is the HR manager of Beds Bath & Beyonds in NY who will check with the HR department here in FL
My goal is to be start work in and or no later than April.
One of my classmates suggested that I contact our department head at the college and let him know I was laid off and if he hears of anything to let me know since he always sends out information regarding possible internships. Which is a great idea so I will do that Monday morning hmmm matter of fact I will do it now no need and waiting because we are on spring break, the early bird always catches the worm.
I tell you as I typed the previous sentence, I thought hmmm send those e-mails now, so guess what I did? Sent those e-mails
I don't know my gut is telling me that I will have something in the next two weeks, boy I hope it's right
I got $3 yesterday from Pinecone so I added that to my checking account. I also transferred the money from my house fund to my checking account for the 12th that way when the bills for mid March roll around I can pay them as soon as I get them
It's tough but God always make away
I forgot to note that I will be talking to my other uncle today about paying the light bill if he does that then my monthly expenses would be about $800 dollars, which with my unemployment and savings I can make it for a while with simply my basic needs

    Whenever I am applying somewhere, i try to keep a log of the company name, location and position.
    If asked to show up at an interview you will be prepared to answer questions honestly about what you have to offer, otherwise you might not even remember why you are there.

    Good luck. I too, am looking for extra work. But for me, just an additional part time job will do.

    So far, no luck...

    For the most part I get an email confirming my application and the job there were only a few but I am definitely taking your advice and keeping a log

    Amber,

    Regarding the log - you might want to keep it in an excel spreadsheet (or something similar) that way if one of the places call you, then you can quickly pull up their info just by sorting your spreadsheet. That was one of the suggestions made at a job search seminar I went to a couple weeks ago. You may want to include in that log a synopsis of the job description, as well as whatever facts you find about the company - that way you can sound really intelligent and on the ball if they call. Smile

    Thanks frugaltexan, that is a great idea. I am definitely going to do that, it would be much easier to pull up than an e-mail

    Amber, I am so sorry about your loss. Sounds like you have a plan and that you're doing all the things that you need to to get working again. Please take care of yourself during this time. Even if its a hot bath as someone suggested or a walk around the park. Good luck with everything and keep us updated. Have you heard back from your uncle who owes you the money yet? If you need to talk or just get some frustrations out, just let me know.
