I've been pretty busy these past couple of weeks between applying for jobs and getting things figured out in my personal life/living situation/seeing if we can save my mom's house, etc. I have also had a few interviews as well as spent some time following up on some jobs and trying to contact the right person in charge of hiring at various organizations. Here is a quick list of some of the places I've been applying:
Verizon-went to hiring fair, interviewed with an HR rep, was told I'd be contacted the next week, tried following up and was given the run around. Haven't completely given up but decided my efforts would be better spent on other endeavors that are actually more in my fields (music or library).
Library Assistant for Contra Costa County-Applied weeks ago, interviewed last week. Only an on-call position so only a few hours guaranteed. I feel like I did well at the interview. Nothing I couldn't answer, felt very confident about public library work.
Applied for Library position for San Mateo County, got accepted for a test in a few weeks on a Saturday morning. The date can't be moved, they have a strict policy since they have so many applicants and it happens to be the morning of a wedding I'm supposed to be at in LA. I'm trying to work out with my boyfriend to have him drive down there ahead and then I will hop on a flight dressed in my wedding attire and meet him there just in time for the 5pm wedding...Sounds like a logistical nightmare, I know, but he really wants me to go with him to the wedding. It's for
a good friend of his and he's never been to a wedding before, I can't let him go stag! Anyways, they have three part time positions available and out of the 100+ people that they are letting take the test, the top 45 get called for an interview.
Applied for a position as a bookbuyer for an independent bookstore in SF.
Applied for an Online Catalog Publisher position at Apple.
Applied for temporary position at the Exploratorium for Library Assistant.
Applied for a part time paid internship with redwood city library system for the summer.
Applied for Stanford Auxiliary Library (in Livermore) position as a Storage Facility Worker, hours would be full time, 6am-3pm ouch! It looks like a really cool facility to work at though.
Oh yeah and I got accepted to the Library Science Master's program at SJSU. I am just waiting to hear about financial aid to see if I can actually enroll and start the program in the fall!
