I am so depressed, frustrated, irritated, angry, etc at trying to find a job! Yesterday I had so much fun doing my day with Fundamental. It was exactly the kind of job I have been looking for as far as what it takes to do the job and everything. And I even got offered the job. But it's really just like a kick in the ass when you find out you would be working 60 hrs a week, only be making 300 dollars at the most for that week, and there are no benefits. I can't believe people are willing to do that job for 300 bucks a week! I only work 25 hours at Applebee's each week and I make almost 300 dollars! I guess the thing about Fundamental is that they expect the people that walk in and get a job are people with no college education and no college loans to pay back. Well, unfortunately, I'm probably over qualified for that position, but yet it doesn't pay enough money to pay back my student loans, my rent, and my bills each month. Plus, working 60 hrs a week for only 300 dollars is like slave wages! You gotta be kidding me! Who wants to work that many hrs for that little of money? So, needless to say, I'm going to turn down the position.
Therefore, I'm still searching for another job... God, I hate it. It's so depressing when you get offered positions that you can't afford to take. But yeah, moving on in my search for a job, I did get a call from a place called Future Resources about an Assistant Managers position at a Bob Evans. I actually had a phone interview today with the recruiting officer. Basically, the job is what I'm looking for. It's 50 hours a week, 5 days a week, at least 32,000 dollars a yr, and you get benefits. And it's in a restaurant, which I love working at Applebee's, so restaurant work would be very cool. The only thing that is worrying me about it is that you have to promise them you would be willing to relocate. Now, relocation is within the NW Ohio area, so that may only mean like an hr away or something, but it's still relocation. The guy did make me feel a little bit better because he said that in his 10 yrs of working as a recruiter, he has never seen someone be relocated after their training. So yeah, the training is a 14 week training period and it would be in a Toledo Bob Evans. I just don't know... It's everything I want in a job, but it just scares me about the relocation thing. Anyone have any suggestions??
If this whole thing doesn't work out with the Assistant Managers thing, I'm looking into getting a position as a travel agent or something at a hotel maybe. I don't know why, but that kind of work fascinates me and it sounds like a lot of fun. I'm supposed to be getting a call back from someone at Central Travel, so I think I'm going to look at that. I think I'm also going to send in my resume to FOX Toledo for a writing position and to Hart Associates, which is a different PR firm.
So yeah, I'm really sick of all this searching. I just want to find a job and it be everything I want it to be. I think after 4 yrs of college and earning a degree, someone should be able to find a job like that. I hate the economy right now. It's just making it so difficult to find a decent paying job in a field I want. Well, I should go so I can shower and eat something before work. If anyone has any suggestions for what I should do, please leave a comment!
