Before I begin to vent about my unemployment troubles, I just wanted to let you all know that I'm currently blogging from Bryant Park. How cool is that????? God bless free wifi. I have discovered that the ultimate locations for free connectivity in New York are city parks. There's nothing like enjoying the last glorious days of summer by blogging underneath a cloudless sky. However, if you were drowning in endless monsoon like all of us in the northeast were in the beginning of this week, there is always Starbucks.
This week is the first week I have felt like a useful part of society in a long time. A family I babysat for in college is currently keeping me busy by running their kids up and down the west side. I've known them for so long at this point that I feel like I'm an older sibling to those boys and I certainly can't complain because I'm getting paid today. Unfortunately, every single cent of that is going towards credit card bills. Oh the life of the fabulously unemployed.
This morning, I took a very large step in the right direction. I met with a staffing and recruitment firm. I attempted to apply to a few head hunters/temp agencies/recruitment centers in the past but alas, no response. The woman who I met with helped me tremendously by providing me with the honest job advice that I am constantly searching for (like reformatting my resume.) I have one more interview with a small music licensing company this afternoon so here's to hoping that pans out just as well. I'm longing off to conduct my morning job search but my one request for you today is to get outside. It's the nicest day we've had all week and I promise you that your work will still be there waiting for you after you take a much needed 10 minute break. Have a great day!
