Job Fair's UnFair >..>
2009-Feb-21, Saturday 11:50 amI went, I saw, I applied. Job fairs are not places to invest all your hopes though =..= Most of the booths were handing out pamphlets that directed you to their web site. None of the booths accepted Resumes (which is a bit disappointing, as I printed 20 copies of my resume -..-), and I filled out only 2 applications. But, I did get a lot of pamphlets, like I said. Some of which, appear to not be my field or even a place I could apply (nurses positions and such), but that won’t stop me from trying :) Even those places need office peoples.
Of the two places I officially applied to, I am obviously more enthusiastic about one than the other. I applied to Big Cedar Lodge, which, I don’t even know if they have one of those around here, but I do know that they are like a Bass Pro shop, and there’s one of those in Branson (at the Branson Landing too). They have offices, so I would definitely be eager to work in that division if I could. The drive to Branson would be...well, at this point, not that big a deal.
The second place I applied to would be awesome if it worked out. It’s a radio station for Arkansas stationed out of Branson as well. It would be starting small of course. But who knows! Getting experience there, networking a bit....that would be an awesome gig....could you imagine me on the radio? Lord knows I have the perfect face for it =..= Besides that it would just be fun. I can easily go on and on about any topic, and I’d like to think I can speak openly with just about anyone...who knows right? What a job to have.
I did stop at a both for the local community collage here (fondly referred to as NAK). They weren’t hiring of course, merely offering info for potential students. But the lady I spoke with was very helpful, and she said they do have a program for getting a degree in graphic design....which I’d love to do. Photography or Journalism could be something too, if they have sufficient courses for that, but graphic design would just be awesome :) Of course, I did mention to her my previous experience and schooling and she said to apply for an office position at the main campus in town, because they never know when they may need someone and it’s just good to have your paperwork all there.
The only other thing was a local coffee house called Uncommon Grounds....they weren’t hiring, just selling ‘breakfast’ (if you can call pastries and coffee breakfast), but the place really is the only coffee shop in town. And, free wi-fi :)
So that was my morning. I got there around...9:15/9:20ish and I was about by 10:30. Oddly enough...ok, this is totally off subject and all. But, Mom has these boots right? They’re nice boots that she got from Wal-Mart that only go up to her ankle and they lace up. Nice, sturdy boots. Well, she wasn’t wearing them a lot, and when the ice storm rolled in I had no shoes sufficient to walk in. So, she lent me her boots. They were too tight and hurt my feet, but it got the job done. So, today, it’s cold out and I needed boots. Not high-heel one (like I have packed away somewhere) just nice, sturdy boots. Well, Mom offered to lend me hers since she’s pretty sure I stretched them out during the ice storm =..= Well, I walked in them the whole time...and they didn’t hurt o..o I was a little shocked. But I got back home and sat down after taking them off, and then I got up again....and my left leg was hurting. Like in my thigh muscle...I don’t really know if it’s related to the boots or anything but >..> It’s just odd.
So...Mom went to Mrs. Karen’s to learn how to make bread. She had me drop her off before the job fair. She said she’d get a ride home with Aunt Carolyn or something. I kinda have the house to myself. Speaking of ‘house to myself’, next time Dad comes in (the 5th perhaps) Mom and Dad are getting ready to head out to New Orleans for another one of Dad’s training things. They’ll be gone all week from the 8th to the 13th/14th of March. I told Alicia about it and invited her over. She’s always eager to get out of her parent’s house, and we get along well. Besides, I don’t have any friends in the immediate area other than her. At least none I’d feel like I was imposing on. I mean, seriously. Chibi’s my old previous friend who lives marginally close, and she couldn’t come on a weekday to visit me. She lives 3 hours away -..- Admittedly, I could spend the whole week alone and be just fine...still, it’s usually more fun when someone else is here.
/looks about. Well...I guess I’ll sign off for now. Maybe I can watch a movie or something before Mom gets in :) Later, Sunshines.
