The Job hunt!
Today was an interesting day...aside from the sporadic weather here in Utah, I really have had an awesome first three weeks here. But the one thing that has truly and completely been able to remain elusive to me is work, and I'm not just talking about finding a decent job, I'm talking about finding ANY job...like moping the floors of the Walmart bathroom isn't even available!! Ugh! Anyways, after having applied to 9 jobs already and having no luck in those endeavors, I have now decided that it is my primary goal in life to seek employment...I figure I am doomed to this task until the Earth crusts over and not even cave men exist. But by and by I will succeed in time, even if I have to crawl to the edge of the planet and back! So, while in search of this elusive job I have learned 3 important things, the first being that you should never hand in your application in sweat pants and a t-shirt...after which the cashier looked me up and down and with a disgusted look placed my application in the bottom of the stack :( (first impressions are always important) true story. Number two: even if they say they are not hiring get an application anyways and turn it in as soon as possible, you never know when someone could randomly quit because their boss ran over their cat or they discovered that they wanted to dedicate their life to becoming a Monk...Things happen, and you should be there to help with the recovery process! and Number three: Be yourself! Lying on an application will get you nowhere!!! Especially if you show up on your first day and can't teach this poor chimp martial arts even though your application says you can...Embrace your inner being and do something you love so that you never truly have to go to "work". and when that perfect job opportunity presents it's self you will feel so awesome! So, when life gives you job rut...become a Monk!
