The way things change

So it's been about 10 months.

I have moved from my small town in New York to across the country. Where I am currently working in retail.

I haven't gotten exactly to where I want to be, I honestly don't even know if I'm closer to it now than before I moved out here.

Realizing what field I want to go into has been half the battle, but it is extremely hard to get any notice with all the competition going around. I want to be a career coordinator or headhunter or whatever I can do in the area of career services.

There have been several interviews since I've been out on the west side, but no bites after the interview. It's pretty disheartening. But! I've been able to satiate my desire to help people with their lives and job hunts by helping co-workers and their families with resumes.

But anyway, this is about surviving after college after all...

Belated Holiday Wishes

I trust everyone had a good Holiday.

I left off with my interview being pushed. After some finagling and a couple stressful moments I finally had my interview right before Christmas.

It went fairly well, but being realistic I don't think I'll get the job, for the lack of experience in that particular field. Which is fine.

It was pointed out that I have the mentality of "I have to get out!" Basically meaning I'm trying to find and take whatever job I can get to get out of the town I'm in. Which in reality if it's not the job or career path I'm really looking to go, maybe I should just relax a little bit and really look into the direction I'd like to go.

It's really hard to set goals when you just plain don't know what you want to do. I have an inkling of an idea, my problem is that I'm too wishy washy and easily swayed, then I doubt myself, and go back to doing nothing.

I've got myself figured out. :)
