The state of things

well, from the files of

"what bites":

I just finished creating 2 new folders under the "resume" folder.

One of those new folders is titled "BA resume."

Now, with a certificate in nonprofit management, a nearly completed masters in organizational management and a nearly completed masters in applied anthropology, why on earth would I have a resume that is titled BA resume?

cause.

cause I can only find jobs that either "desire" a bachelors degree, or that don't even mention it, or a few that require it.

So, if I am honest about it, I won't ever get in the door.

so, I am applying for the few jobs I see open that do not require medical skills, engineering skills, or are a bank teller, sales account manager, or semi-truck driver, and that I think I can reduce my resume far enough to get an interview.

Here is the hard part.

I have to talk in that interview. I screwed up the one interview I had, by failing to speak at the same level I wrote the resume. This is only the second time in my life I have interviewed for a job and not been hired. I don't like that feeling...regardless of the job tasks.

so, we'll see if I can keep my trap shut and not really talk about my experiences beyond maybe redesinging the office filing system and saving money on supplies or something like that. yea.

well, I better get back at it... there are not many of them out there so I have to be vigilant. My days of being able to "not really work" are rapdily approaching...

put good vibes to the universe for me!
