I need a job!
Apparently I’m overqualified to be a school office lady (a woman who couldn’t use Windows got that job), a bartender (why would you want a job here?) or a checkout chick (we need people who aren’t going to leave when they get a GOOD job).
Despite starting my Child Care course this month, I need to do 40 volunteer hours to even be eligible for an SSO number.
I don’t want to be running my own business again – and right now I can’t as I can’t afford internet or a home phone, and I’d need a digital SLR to get back into portraiture or weddings.
For the next two to four weeks I’ve poached one of my old clients from The Monitor, and I’ll be working in an electorate office doing newsletters at government rates – which will be a lifesaver, but it’s not enough if I don’t start getting some interviews soon.
I’m even dropping off a CV to my old nemesis – the Competition and my Former Employers at the local newspaper – in the hopes that they’re so desperate they’ll offer me part-time journo work in school hours.
Doubtful though, I think, those guys hold as many grudges as I do.
I need a job!
Just a little reminder if there is any agency of Fate out there listening.
