Compromise.

So I need a job. Preferably full-time with benefits and such.

So I emailed my store manager from last year when I interned at a department store to see if I could use her as a reference for a design job for the department store. Unfortunately, between emails, I just found out they picked someone else for the job due to my lack of experience. There's a surprise.

The compromise? I might start working at the department store I interned at last year. She asked me if I wanted to be an assistant manager. This store offers benefits and a 401k. And I wouldn't be starting out as just a sales person. The only thing that makes me nervous is that I have no experience on the sales floor at this store. Last year I interned on the support end of the store versus the sales end of things. However, I was trained with all the other girls with how to use the registers, and how to interact with customers.

So, the next step is calling the store manager to see what she's got for me.

If I could just get rid of the sick. ugh.

PS. Can't stay away from college, so I'm heading up to Morgantown tomorrow to visit. Should be fun.

Post-grad continues...

So, this job search thing is getting frustrating. However, I will admit that because it's summer, I've been a little more lackadaisical about my job search as I probably will in the coming months. There are so many things at home that are making it hard to want to leave.
This is a poor excuse to keep living with my parents working my high school job, which is why I must make a conscious effort to find something whether it be an internship or a real job.
I quit the dead-end non-paid internship about a month ago. In case you were wondering. This actually made a huge difference in my summer. My mood is incredibly different.
I'm also thinking about going to grad school for graphic design. I just don't have any money right now. And I want to get some fashion under my belt before I resort to a field that everyone is trying to do with little hopes of a job.
So, that's where I am now. But while I am frustrated, I'm still happy and anxiously awaiting my diploma. :)
