new job?

Job hunting blows. Especially having to update the resume. The worst part is the cover letter. Yawwwn. Actually, no, the worst thing about job hunting is when people say "pound the pavement." Eww. Don't say that. It's ugly. Even uglier than when people say "dry hump." Hahahah. Ew. That is really ugly though.

The good news is that i now have my name on the supply teachers list at the day care, which happens to be around the corner. It also happens to be where my good friend/roommate is employed. She used to be a supply, but since she's actually certified to teach, she's been hired to a full time position as a support worker. You know, for kids who are challenging. They, the children, are not necessarily challenged themselves. They're just difficult, need some extra help, or attention. So, sounds good right? It also happens to fit quite nicely into my new life plan. How convenient. I should have considered this before as an option! Why hadn't i? I know that to do what dee does, you need to be certified to teach, which i am not. But, if you can believe it, i am finished university. And i have spent time with children in an educational environment. I can do this part time, and do something else part time as well, ya? So right now i have a very non kid-friendly resume that needs to be completely revamped...should make for a fun afternoon task. And then tomorrow i get to go request a police check for myself! Yay.

  1. I've always thought the worse part of job hunting is the cover letter. You can't just print off a bunch of copies of the same cover letter and send it along with your resume to every place you apply. Each cover letter has to be tailored to said places and that's where my laziness takes over!! I have now resorted to writing my cover letter in the body of the email, and only attaching my resume. There's no need to write an intro in the body of an email, AND write a cover letter to be attached, AND attach a resume. Or maybe that's the reason why no one is hiring me........fuck.

    Good blog Jenn!! I hope you had a fun time in TO with me!!!! Miss you lots!
