How do you find a job you like???

[angel_luv]

The internship. It's over on August 18.

I hope things work out for you perfectly and quickly. I will say a prayer.

[angel_luv]

I really hope to see you back there, V. Hopefully, when I find a full-time job, I can continue to work at the AT&T Center.

Thanks. I do love it there- the people, job, view

I wish there were full time hours to be had there.

Well, since I was so bored at work....I decided to take an hour and half lunch

Do you all like your job? And if so, how the heck did you guys ever find something you'd love to do every single day?

I work as a headhunter and two things I tell pretty much everyone I work with is (1) if you're unhappy where you're at, look NOW while you're still employed and (2) make a list of the positives and negatives at your current employer, rank them, and do the same for each place you interview. It's pretty common for things like dress code or personal cell phone usage to be just as important as who's offering the highest salary in this day and age.

Do not quit and then start looking because once your finances start running low, you'll wind up whoring yourself out to the first available position, which more often that not is worse than the one you quit in the first place.

I took an hour & a half lunch too. Only I went home and started a load of laundry and cleaned the kitchen ... and then went to go register my son for football. I'm really nervous about him playing, though.

Yea....we just went to Ruby Tuesdays.

Oh I definitly know that. I wouldn't be able to stay umemployed for too long with the amount of expenses I incur monthly (). I think I'm going to see how things go, I'm taking some LSAT prep courses starting this August. If things are still sucky, I'll start applying for other jobs too.

[angel_luv]

It feels a little strange knowing I am going to work in a few hours.

That is not a good thing- means I have been out too long.

But yea! This time tomorrow I will have some money!

Volunteered. Getting an education for it.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Come work for me, 1Parker1. I promise it won't be boring.

[Mrs.Jimcs50]

Whatever you do - don't volunteer to intern in a Dentist office.

Is that how you got sucked into marrying Jimbo, Mrs.Jimc50?

Interesting...FYI, I like to be in control

Does that mean you haven't been working anywhere for that time. One thing I can tell you is- sometimes the easiest way to find a job is through something that happens at your current job.

It is hardest by far to get someone to hire you when you are currently working for no one. It makes employers wonder why.

Yes... unfortunately I had two seasonal jobs, the one at the Terrace Club and one at Rollings Oaks mall.

The Terrace job I knew would end with the Spurs season.

I had taken the mall job hoping to get my foot in the door and land a permanent position in the office. However that did not work out.

By the time the lady I was subbing for returned, the office was undergoing major management changes.

Long story short, the opportunities I had hoped would be available to me were not, thus my current situation.

Marry a guy who makes a good enough living that you can goof around and figure out what kinds of things you like to do.

I've found my job that makes me happy, I would just like to know I have it in six weeks.

Ditto. I love my job now at the United Way - I couldn't have asked for a better group of interns to work with, but the second week of August the job is over (unless they decide to take some of us on full time, which has been discussed - fingers crossed!). It's got its low points like every job (like the presentation for the corporate sponsors this morning, who were irritating as all ), but it's worth it, and the work is going to help people in the future.

For that reason, maybe you shouldn't under value the facts that at your current position: 1) they want you there, 2)you are comfortable, and 3) you like the people you work with.
