I was busy this week looking for unemployment. I had a 2.5 hr class at Job Service here in Fargo on resume and interview skills. It was a lot better than I thought it would be. It was taught by a very tall man, close to 7 ft, and he did the obligatory ice breakers and there was a crusty old man across from me who was sniping under his breath the entire hour but he was so cute and miserly that I didn't care that he was acting like a rude seventeen year old boy. The class was useful and the handouts were especially useful. I was able to write up two resumes and two intro letters based on the examples given, which is what I did today. I spent all morning writing two combo resumes and two intro letters. I'm applying for some jobs of which I can't say here because I don' want all of you (you 2 or 3 search engines that 'read' me for search results) hehe, to rush out there and grab MY jobs, that's right, my job, before I even get it, they're mine!!!---so the class was fine then I had an interview an hour later. I made it home, decided jeans weren't appropriate, changed, read up on the company, readied myself for their questions (what is your greatest weakness?) (Look at me, you know I have none, baby)---Got half way through the interview when it was discovered I wasn't qualified for the job. I applied for a CNA position. They used to train for that, not any more. $550 and six weeks will get me that license, which I might do because there are a lot of CNA positions in the paper but there is a little thing of money, of which I have little. I am UNEMPLOYED, so paying for a class when XMAS, car insurance, and all that jazz is probably not going to happen.
Next up, movie reviews. Sexy.
