No Luck...Yet

I posted my resume on a job board last night in hopes of getting a hit but so far only Burger King has looked at my resume. But I know how this goes, "Well, we'd hire you but you have no experience" and then I feel like screaming "How do I get experience if no one will hire me?!!!!" but I refrain because that doesn't look too good when you're talking to someone who may become your future employer. That's why today, I'm hoping to go out hand out some resumes to places that ask for you to apply in person. I plan on applying at a restaurant to be a dish washer/prep cook (yeah I'm ecstatic doing my least favourite chore), a call taker at a Cab company and sales associate at a curtain store. Wow, when I look at it on paper it seems really sad. But I'm not going to complain too much because I've had it pretty easy the last four years. Two summer jobs and my mom paid for everything else. I wouldn't be in such a rush if I didn't have college in the fall.

I feel so overwhelmed when I look at all the things I'm going to have to pay for in the fall. I liked it better when the textbooks were falling apart and free to use for the semester. I was talking to someone who recently graduated from the college I plan to attend and we were discussing what were we going to do with all the books that you have to buy. Every year, they change so it's not like you can sell them. I haven't even started yet and the amount I have to pay for fees and such is insane. Like, $3000 insane which is more than 3/4 of my OSAP. I put it all down on paper, and don't understand all the technicalities that they have then I get upset and I start yelling. Therefore nobody wants to be around me including myself. Gee, I'm so glad I decided to get myself a post secondary education that I can not afford.

So the job search continues. And hopefully somebody somewhere is desperate enough to hire someone with no "skills" or "experience."
