Well here we are again, I published my last post as I found my way into the job market, and I write again happily employed.
Here is a quick update:
I Graduated in August, then hit the ground running. In October I had to start paying rent again, so I decided to kick my job at Joseph A. Bank. It couldn’t have been better timing. My boss was a total jerk, my schedule was never the same, and I was being taken advantage of.
Many Applications Three Interviews
I applied for six or seven jobs at Baylor, all of which I was fully qualified for, and of which I only had one interview, and that was after I did some pushing pointing out that they had to interview me. Essentially, I was jerked around by HR. I must have shown in their system as a student rather than a graduate, even still, according to their rules I should have been considered for all of the positions. So, they interviewed me for Admissions Counselor, but I’m 99% sure they had already made their decision.
On July first, I applied for an emergency position as Camping Sales Associate at Academy Sports. - That’s when I posted the last post, to let them know that I actually camp.
I kept working at terrible Joseph A. Bank until sometime in October, the 14th I think. Thats when I told Carl to pay me more or I was out the door. To date, Charlos has hired six replacements for me, way to go bossman.
Working in TV
I was having no luck finding a reasonable full time job, So Andy suggested that I use my degree and do something in journalism. I said, “hey, I’ve done radio, I want to move up!” I made a few packages, mailed a few resume tapes, but nothing came together. Then in week four of unemployment, I interviewed for New Media Content Director at the local ABC Affiliate. The interview went well, It seemed like a perfect fit, Journalism and Web? Lets roll. They offered, I took, paychecks ensue.
church, more than an hour a week, you’ve got to be kidding!
No! I’ve been elected to the PNC- Pastor Nominating Committee, be an Usher, joined the choir and helped start a Sunday school class. The PNC is by far the most time consuming, but I enjoy it, even though it requires so many minute details. Our SS class, dubbed taco Ministries, cooks breakfast tacos before fellowship every sunday.
I’m sure there is more, but now, its time to go.
