Hunting

I spent a few hours looking for a job today. I've never done it before, so it was a new experience altogether. No one that I talked to was hiring, but a bunch of stores took my resume for their file. The record store looked like it had the most potential.

Interestingly enough, however, right before I left my room I was searching google to see if there was a Starbucks in Wollongong, and I found a site called "Wollongong Exchange" which is a general message board where you can advertise that a) you want a job or b) you want someone to fill a position. Among the typical "we need a tutor" and "earn a kabillion dollars in our telelmarketing scheme" ads was one that was just posted today. They were looking for someone to do general office work on a casual (part time basis).

I figured, meh, I'll send 'em an email, and then I took off on my hunt. I returned later to find a response from the manager asking for my resume and references. I forwarded it to him, and right before I left this evening, he had emailed me again asking if I could come in tomorrow morning for an interview. The office is about a 15 minute walk from my place. He knows the hours I'm available, knows I'm at uni, knows that I'm on a working student visa (20 hours a week max). So I'm pleasantly surprised.

The other night I went out for dessert with some girls from Lighthouse, and the girl who gave us a lift, Louise, commented that if God wants me to have a job, He'll give me a job. Not to get my hopes up, but it would be a gift if this worked out, the day after I started looking for a job.

Anyway... I should probably get ready for bed. I had an amazing evening, which I'll probably blog about tomorrow. But here's a hint!



xoxo.
