Job hunting is in full swing. I made an appointment with the Career Development office for this afternoon for resume-tweaking help. (on my own accord - not a class assignment!), I've e-mailed friends for leads, I've spent hours searching craig's list and monster.com, and I've signed up for a million "job alerts" in the communication field. As soon as I get some professional advice on my resume this afternoon, HELLO JOB APPLICATIONS.
(It's February 25, and suddenly I'm realizing this. Life is so stinking sneaky. HO-LY COW!)
I was feeling the pressure this morning for many reasons, mainly because everyone and their mom is telling us how bad the economy is and how we need to act quickly and snatch up whatever job we can find. (I'm not kidding. I've heard this from probably four separate people this past week.) But then I opened up my mailbox and saw a letter from home. In it, was a verse that said:
"Be still in the presence of the Lord and wait patiently for Him to act." (Psalm 37:7)
Thanks, parents, for knowing I needed that reassurance. This economy scares me a lot. It's probably going to be a rough few months, but I'm going to try to be still (but proactive!) and wait patiently. I do believe God's got something great out there for me... I really do. I just have noooo idea what it is or where it is or when I'll find it.
Geeeeeze louise.

I love your labels. Again. And I wanted to let you know that some of the biggest job opportunities I had came in the fall. I think this was because all of the unpaid interns clear out and companies need someone to do the work. So, if you don't have a job by May 23, don't stress. You will find something.
uno palabra: seattle.
