get a job

Had another interview this morning at a company that looked really impressive, the type of place that I want to work and will be good for my future.

I was told that although they wouldn’t be in a position to give me full time work in my prefered field, they may be able to offer me a full time position in another area and change it when the moment is right.

I was told they couldn’t give me an answer straight away because they had to interview someone else, but they did say it was looking very positive for me.

Arrived home and received notice of another interview for Friday at a magazine. I said I will attend, but it’s only remotely close to the work I realy want so I’m really hoping to get some positive news elsewhere in the next couple of days.

Also had a friend call me to let me know he is setting up a new business with some colleagues and wants me to be their lead researcher. I’m so exited, but at the same time I know that I have to be patient and wait to see how things turn out.

Ok, just moved abroad and don’t speak the language (yet, it’s on the list) but I want a job. I applied for a job and was offered an interview but it was cancelled and I was told the vacancy had been filled :(. Oh well, I have left my details at another place and maybe I will hear from them. This is as far as I have got really for now. I have been far too busy with an essay, a big project and socialising. Anyway, I’ve just received my lovely mentor person who can help me to find a job (among other things) so hopefully I’ll now get some help finding jobs where I can speak English!

I don’t know how to get a job. Nobody will tell me. I have been trying and trying. I need to make money. I have alot of events coming up that I need to save up for. I really need help and I really need a job!

i need to save money for the boston trip in the spring and im still $950 away! aaah!

Much to my surprise, I was called today by another company who had been forwarded my details after mentioning to someone that they are looking to set up a new international company.

The director of the company called me to say that while he has no set position that he needs me for, he wants to arrange a meeting to discuss a department where my skills are required and I can benefit from a challenge.

I’m totally in shock, after being out of work for over 2 months and having no responses from decent companies, the past week has been a complete turn-around and I might possibly be working soon is a really good position.

Fingers crossed for my interview tomorrow!

I feel like I should be applying for job after job after job every day; 10 a day or something, just so I can relax in the feeling that I am doing all that I can.
I know this is mental. I know I am becoming desperate. And I also know that going for quantity over quality will get me nowhere. Hundreds of mediocre applications will not get me a job, but a few amazing ones might. Even if part of me want to send out CVs and quickly-put-together forms to anywhere and anyone, I know deep inside that such a strategy will not get me a job.

I think I need to go for a walk.

I had another interview this morning and finally it was something that looked really interesting. A big US company are soon to introduce their product to the European market and they want me to help with the set up.

I found it great that the interview was very casual and I was able to interview them as much as they were interviewing me.

While there is plenty to think about, it looks like a good opportunity with a lot of potential, so I arranged to meet with them again next week after spending some time doing my own research to see how beneficial the offer is to me.

Yay, finally I feel like I’m getting somewhere!

Because, you know.. I quit my first and only job like a year ago and have been freeloading ever since!

First of all, I have medications for depression/Bipolar Disorder I need to adjust to. Then I can go about getting a job.

I applied for macys again today.
They are hiring part time and seasonal work.
Wish me luck!
