OK, at the risk of sounding like I'm bragging, I first have to say that I sent out one resume, went to one job interview, and landed a job. Not the best job. Not the best-paying job. But it's a job and puts money in my pocket and gives me breathing room so if I decide that I want to see what else is out there for me, I can.
The photo is me on the way out the door to the interview.
Let me repeat that. One resume. One job interview. Hired. In New York. In Manhattan. Don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me?
Although I applied for a graphics job, the print shop had just hired the graphics person a week or so ago, so I am working customer service. Fine -- that's easier than graphics anyway. The most difficult part of the job is dealing with the huge variety of accents that I am not yet used to. I am fine with most Latin accents, and in Key West I had gotten used to the eastern European, German, and French accents. Now I'm having to figure out what people are saying with strong Middle Eastern and Asian accents.
The print shop is busy and there's rarely more than a couple of minutes that I'm sitting around doing nothing. And like I said, not the best job, but better than no job and better than looking for a job.
