The Job Hunt
This week I am learning how hard job searching really is. I’ve been working part-time jobs since I was sixteen and those usually are not too hard to come by. But now that I am a just a few weeks out from graduation the pressure is really on to find a “real” job. I’ve been searching every job hunting data base known to man using every key phrase I can think of to find a job I might be interested in. The problem I keep running into is that everyone wants you to have “5 year management experience” or “3 years in a supervisory position”. I just want to reply back to all their e-mails “How I am supposed to get experience if you won’t even give me a chance!”.
Another problem that keeps coming to mind is how far from home am I really willing to move? Sometimes just packing up and moving far away sounds really exciting. Everyone also says your only young once, and this is really the only time in your life you’ll have the chance to just go wherever you want. But other times I feel like I would miss my friends and family here in Oklahoma too much.
I know God has a place a for me somewhere and I know that I just need to be patient and wait for the doors to open, but as everyone knows being patient is a lot easier said than done. For know I am just going to keep working my part-time job and sending my resume in. I’ll keep you updated on where I end up. And if you hear of any great nutrition jobs send them my way! ;)
