The Hunt for the Perfect Job

Steps to a new job...
1. Apply (mostly online now-a-days)
2. Create a resume (which is also online, coincidentally)
3. Send resume out to millions of employers (thank you cut and paste!)
4. Waaaiiiitttt for the calls
5. Schedule the interview
6. Find silly looking clothes that somehow make people take you seriously (see example on left)
7. Yahoo maps the address (yes, I abhor google maps!)
8. Put on a smile and show them you're the best for the job









Yes, I am on the job hunt. A trivial time in one's life. Sending millions of people your contact in hopes that one of them will call back. Then there is my unusual predicament, getting called back over and over by the same company who really wants to hire me but for some reason, I can't get find myself becoming passionate about financial advising. It is also a different experience to look for a job when you have a degree. Its no longer walk into Target and ask for an application. One big question is then left unanswered... If a job requires 2 years of experience in their field, how in the world are you supposed to get experience if everyone wants experience to hire!? Anyone??

Let's pack up and move to California...

Old Town

Midway

Hyatt Hotel

Seaport Village

And thus went our day as we played tourists for a day in the beautiful sunny San Diego.
Who: Jordan, Aaron, New Ryan, Ryan and I
What: Sight-seeing
When: Saturday, August 9th 2008
Where: The San Diego coast
Why: Jordan and I just got new cameras, which inspires photo taking, which inspires traveling, which inspires getting out of the house on a Saturday instead of watching the Olympics, which inspires inviting friends, which inspires... ok I'm done! But we did have so pretty awesome pictures. And discovered some things I never knew were in San Diego. Ok one thing, but who knew there was a monument to Bob Hope along the coast!?

Yeah well there it is! Due to this new, AMAZING Canon Rebel XT, I am sure many more days in San Diego will be spent touring the city. We didn't even make it to Cabrillo National Monument! More to come...

Once a Banshee...

The years of Banshee-hood. Well Friday will mark the official end of another summer at Indian Hills. They say every summer is different, and so far I believe it! Team Staff Counseling was unlike anything else I had ever done, in a good way! Team staff is one of those things I remember being so sad when it was over and didn't think I could ever be one again. Granted the counselor end is a bit more responsible, being in that position again was the best thing ever! Allow me to provide a list of some of the "norm" as a TSC...
- Captain Planet dances
- Black and pink are back!
- Pink tights and "Sweatin' to the Oldies"
- POMEGRANATE!
- Bear chasers
- Bathroom cleaning experts
Just a couple of things that make my job, the best on camp!
