Got a call for a job interview for Cirque du Soleil. It'd be working at a merchandise booth. I'm a bit nervous because it's only from June 26th to August 3rd. June 26th is the beginning of Wizard. So I may ask to take Saturday and Sunday off or lie and say I'm going somewhere. Or, at best, I'll ask if I can do the...

Feeling kind of down. I've applied to 20 places now and no response. I can't call half of them because they asked people not to. I feel like I'm wasting my time but I really need this. Either way, I'll have to get a job during the school year. But it'll only be part time and probably 3-5 days a week at most.

Try not to think about it. A lot of places are very slow with their recruitment. Much of the time as soon as you stop worrying about it you get a call out of the blue.

As hard as it can be, the key is to remain positive. Call back those places that did not specifically ask you not to call back, and you will get a break. Likely not a glamorous job, but something that will put some money in your pocket. Hang in there.
Eating a vegan lemon poppy seed muffin. It's really good.
Tired as fuck. Finished second day of moving AnchorpersonOnTV into his apartment. He's staying here tomorrow because the apartment is full until Monday when people leave and he doesn't have a room until Wednesday when the one guy leaves.
Still looking for jobs. I've applied so many places (more than 20) and so many places...

But it's not one I can do.
I applied for the Bakery Clerk position at the local grocery store. I just got called back about working as a cake decorator or baker, which you have to have experience for. I do not have the experience, nor did I...

Hey lady don't know what your work experience is but OLD NAVY is a great place to work....if you have any around you...they are hiring big time now for the summer season and they hire all kinds of students for full and partime work....I dug working there cause they let you dress to express and have no problems with tattoos or piercings..Good Luck!!
Well, one load is off my back. AnchorpersonOnTV got his apartment/sublease. It's pretty amazing. Semi-shitty area (Logan Square... Not great but not awful), but it's in an attic, has AC, free laundry, etc. It only costs about 500 or less with utilities.
The other load is a job. I've applied to SO many places and I'm applying more. Still no luck. I'm resorting to waitressing...

logan square is okay if a decent band is playing at the auditorium. it's actually one of my favourite venues!

Thanks. You know what they say - if you aren't clever or attractive, be amusing 
Is it really hard to sublet an apartment? Or do month-by-month rental without credit history?
I need to have one by May 20th. Or at least from June 1 - September 1.

How is the job hunt going?
I am looking for a babysitter - I don't have any kids but lately I feel the need for a teenage girl to visit me a couple of nights a week.

Thanks for the heads up 
Fuck, I don't know what I'm going to do.
If you can't tell from reading my blogs, I get anxious REALLY easily... Mostly in social situations. I avoid meeting and talking to people. And even when I try to, it doesn't go very well. Thus me not doing well making friends in college.

I'd get a tattoo.
I think I might have to get a job during the summer. It's the responsible thing to do. I hate it.
I hope you find a job though. Just keep applying.

Expect a "set" from me soon, likely.
I don't know what I'm gonna do about this job thing. I applied to eight places yesterday, I have two more to do online, and four paper applications to turn in... I REALLY need one.

Wow! congrats on the grades and hope you have better luck with the job hunt than I did.
What kind of set are you going to do?
What kind of set are you going to do?
So the job hunting begins.
I've applied a few places... Everywhere wants online. Do they really look at those?
I only have a few places where I have to go in... Kohl's, Jamba Juice, and Nordstrom in the suburbs.
Then there are a few downtown.
I'm nervous about actually going in.

Job market sucks right now

i always felt the online thing never worked for finding a job. i wish you the best of luck in getting a job.
Soooo now I am home.
I need to make a resume today and then look for jobs this week. I'm pretty nervous. I don't really even know how to go about this.

Sucks, doesn't it?
I don't even get home for another two weeks, so I've been trying to find jobs through the internet (to no avail). I'm even checking craigslist at this point, which means I have to deal with potential scams and all that
I hate being so unmarketable

Well, welcome home! As for a resume, make sure to put 'super awesome cutie' on it. =p
I can ask my dad about writing up a resume, if you're having that much issue with it? He helps me when I have to write them.
