I got a job! :)

Thanks Stephanie, PickledSakura, PB, PlainPearl, Courtney and Kerry!   

I'm going to use these few weeks as a power up.... like in a video game where coins are worth double.    It's easier finding work if you've already got a job, right.    My CV definitely looks better since I'm currently employed!    I just need to keep the ball rolling and get some momentum to a full-time position! 

You're absolutely right.

I'm presently the volunteer administrator for a charity (I also landed another job in the service industry, but my manager and colleagues were nasty pieces of work, so I quit after a few weeks). I've only been doing it for 2 months and I'm definitely getting more responses from employers. Last week I was offered a permanent fulltime position and I was also offered a temp to perm job. I decided that I was more suited towards the temp job and I started today. Having something recent on your CV can only help and who knows where it will lead. A few months back I had nothing going for me professionally and then last week I had options! I hope it's the same for you!

Good luck finding "back-to-school" clothes!

Whooohooo, PlainPearl! 

It's one thing being told that it's easier to get work if you're currently employed- it's another to actually hear of it happening to people.    I hope I have the good luck you've had! 

Enjoy your new job! 

I've got my bag purse packed, my homework new employee paperwork done and I'm all set for my first day of school work! 

I found out the dress code is smart casual, so I've got jeans, grey slip-on shoes and my (and DH's) favourite button-up shirt of mine.    It looks like it's just white with random little black shapes on it, but they're actually little black bugs!    Awesome.

Oh boy! You are ready to go! Hope you have a great first day TravelingFrog!

Nice shirt, I like it! 

Hope you're having a great time, TF! Way to go! 

Woohoo, TF!  This is great news.
