Update on the job search. I have applied to approximately 15 jobs since December 7. I have received several e-mails that start out promising and end bad. You know the ones..."You are an excellent candidate, your resume is impressive, blah blah blah, but you are just too cool for us so we have decided to go with a candidate whose experience more closely aligns with the qualifications we are seeking," AKA: "You are so qualified for this position, but you don't know anyone here so we didn't pick you." Each time I read those lame e-mails I think, "your loss buddy, I am awesome and clearly you don't get it!" I am not sure if this is a healthy response, but hey it's better than getting down on myself.
Me applying for jobs, Riley walking, Lola in her chill spot. Wait what?
But anyways, on with the update. I have also received a few bites, and 2 interviews. One of them lasted 5 minutes, until they realized I couldn't start until May. Darn! The other has yet to happen. But, the point of the post is that they are both for jobs in Arizona! I think it might be a sign... that Arizona wants me. The feelings are mostly mutual (with the exclusion of the months May-September), but (no offense to my homegirl AZ) I have been daydreaming about California
a lot lately. Oh to live by the ocean, that is my dream! Josh and I would love to raise our babes by the ocean, even if it meant not owning a house for a little bit longer. I have been thinking about it so much lately that I may have even downloaded Real Housewives of the OC and old episodes of the Hills just to soak up the California scenery. Is that lame? I don't care, it's true. Who am I kidding, I already had those babies downloaded. Anyways aside from my bad taste in reality tv, I am really excited about the jobs I have applied for and will keep on sending out my resume and cover letter until someone gives me a chance! I will continue to keep you updated. And, the rest is still unwritten*
*Did you catch that clever reference to the Hills theme song?
haha, I love your ending. I totally caught on and was going to call you out on that.
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world is Ry doing? She's too young! I don't want to believe she's four months. I want to pretend that she'll still be a couple days old when I see her, like she was when I left her. I can see she got the awesome hair gene.
I also love how Lola looks so tired, as usual. Her days are so tiring.
Crossing my fingers on the job search. I can't decide if I want you to get a job here or a job that pays you really well. Maybe both?
