As I continue searching for an additional part time job-- or a full time job-- and as I continue to deal with the flood of suggestions/criticisms.... I have begun to struggle with a purpose.
Sure, I have interviewed at all these places, but I still only get 2-3 shifts a week. Some of these places just don't call me back or answer my calls when I call to check in...
Others flat out lie to me.
How do I know? Well, it's a rule of thumb to keep your story straight. For instance, in the interview if you tell me you are looking for someone "right out of college" that is moldable and fresh to learn a new way to do A and B.... don't tell me that you are looking for someone with more "hands-on experience". While that may not be a complete lie, it certainly doesn't encourage my confidence in your trustworthiness. How could I have hands-on-experience in the type of thing that your company does while in college-- and still be teachable and moldable?
I've had volunteer, employment, and educational experience in a field similar to yours, so that is really all I can give you...
But anyway.... my decision is to go back to graduate school. I can move out (YES!!!!!), get in the ideal career instead of the plan B career, and get back to doing something that makes sense.
So maybe this wave of confusion will pass soon? I certainly hope so. I feel at a loss for most of the things going on right now, personally and professionally. And no one else seems to understand that.
