Job Search
The Job search is on... and I am getting decent response
I've had so far 2 people contact me for interviews for an administrative assistant position,
1 interview for Japan (which I skipped out on).
1 for community justice organized, and 1 for canvassing part-time.
I'm getting a decent amount, I think because I know how to manipulate a resume, but at the same time... perhaps I'm just aiming too low.
I talked to my friend the other day and he said I could go straight for marketing and advertising positions to make more money.
I don't know what he meant by that but it sure made me less excited about being an administrative assistant.
I'm really undecided on what type of job I want. The jobs that I have now are giving me experience and skill for my later jobs (of perhaps lawyer)... you know, they are building blocks, and I got to make sure I got the right blocks, don't I?
As community justice organizer, I'd be out there in a somewhat leadership position, organizing groups to help people inform lower-income families abut their rights in renting situations, and more. But I'd be losing out on having a traditional job experience...
With administrative assistant - I would have some kind of office experience, and hone my organizational skills. Be in a climate with strict deadlines, all that to give me some discipline. Of course, it would probably be an atmosphere of less independence, more boredom...
Also, I am worried about finances, I would love to at least halve my enormous debt, and make some on the side to travel to at least one different country.
But at the same time, as my parents say, if I do things right, right now, I won't have to worry about money later on.
At this age, I guess it's really trying to find the balance between the present and the future. I feel like graduation is my first step into adulthood. Its exciting and nerve-wracking... even for someone who has at least one of their end goals figured out.
Without school and without anxiety problems, I can freely think about what I want from this life... my previous myopia is now reaching clear sight... I see the things that I've missed out on, and I'm beginning to desire again human relationships... good travels... faithfulness to my morals...
Anyway, I actually want to postpone getting a job until October... need to focus on the LSAT!
Which is just killing me...
