C:tGY [Job XI]

[chaoswolf]

Had a second interview for Cost Plus this morning. Looking at it rihgt after it happened, I'd say it went well. Looking at it with hindsight, I may have sabotaged my chances by saying the wrong thing. *sigh* I just want a gorram job. Too much to ask? Thought so....

With the exception of this one (as it's still too early to tell if I have the job or not), every interview I've had since moving up here has been a dead end where they either hire someone better qualified for the position or someone less qualified wanting untrained monkies as opposed to those with training. I have stared at Craigslist for days on end, responding to anything I think I'm qualified for and can get to easily. 2/3 never respond, and the ones that do are some sort of money institution that I don't trust if it's based in another country.

I just want something about this damn job hunt to go my way. For once...preferably before I hit rock bottom.

Hey have you tried signing up with an employment agency for the interim? You can get called to work for a day or a week here and there. Adecco is one of the world's biggest, I worked for one of their offices here in AB and they were really good. Each day you ask to be put on the call list, or if you don't then they won't bother you.

Got a few agencies that have me on the list, but unfortunately I'm restricted to public transit. Not many locations within easy bussing distance, I am figuring.
