Employing Woes, issues 900,334,785
Jul. 26th, 2011 02:01 pmAm back in my hometown for a bit of relaxation and positivity, and a much needed dose of my Mommy (oh yeah, at 30 years old, I am still Mommy's little girl). Was getting way too down in the city. I love my Grandma and Uncle, but the negative attitude and poor outlook on life was not helping me stay positive for job hunting.
Because that's what I'm doing right now, looking for work. Even in my very active and thriving field of work, it's hard to find employment. As an entry-level professional, I'm looking for work at the wrong time of the year. Most places do their hiring in the spring for summer field programs, or the fall. I've barely started looking and I'm disheartened already.
Oh well. Just going to have to start submitting my resume in the generic job pools most companies have on their sites, and make some cold calls. Ick.
Would help immensely if I knew where I was willing to work. Am considering moving to the Yukon because of one fucken guy who I'm sort of crazy about, but I don't really want to leave Manitoba. But there's really no work in my field in Manitoba, so that may be moot point anyways, unless I'm willing to do oil and gas remediation. Considering that I've spent 2 degrees and 9 years avoiding anything that has to do with oil and gas, that would really suck.
Okay, I'm done venting (for now). Back to cover letter writing. Yay.
