Today I got a call for a job interview. 3 months ago I started to look for summer/part-time work. I would stay up 1-3hrs at night searching Monster.com, CareerBuilder.com, craigslist, and my colleges job page. On a good night i could apply for up to 5 jobs, on a bad night nothing.. on average 3 jobs. On my computer I have 9 different versions of my resume all highlighting different areas employers could be looking for. Of all this, I have received 2 email follow ups and today a phone call to set-up an interview.
So next week on Tuesday I have an interview for Portrait Innovations. And actually I have been super excited since. It is a full-time (So I would have to quit school in the fall), but its $12 an hour plus benefits, 40+hrs a week... To take pictures. I would make a commission on the sales of photos. BUT Have I mentioned how much I LOVE to take pictures? I do. Having a bad day, I take my camera outside and shoot away.. having a great day, have my camera and shoot away.. kids do something neat yeah.. you get the idea. My camera has become an extension of my body and this job would be amazing to get. So here is to crossing my fingers and toes.
My mom, is being glass half-full.. asking me what will I do with all the schooling I have done at this point. Well, if its up to me to be paid to do something I love, vs something Im just qualified/educated in.. I would go with passion. Isnt that what everyone wants to be paid to do their passion.
Yes I know it would require a shuffeling of what I have already planned. Inform my internsite that I have a job and cant make it. Drop all my classes and inform the VA of my education status. Let the daycare know the kids wont be coming back of if they are a different date...for the 2 weeks paid training, take the kids down to bama to stay with the In-Laws, so Amos wont be going crazy with getting them up and at daycare, to work, back to Daycare... But I want this. All those things seem small things to change if I work ahead and get them done soon.
WISH me luck. :D
im so anxious to hear! my fingers and toes are crossed for you
ReplyDeleteme to... asking when we would find out who/if we got the job is on my list of questions to ask as the interview. Because getting or not getting changes the ballgame in a lot of ways.
