One Day At A Time....

After over a year of trying to get a job, I was finalLy blessed with the opportunity! A local staffing agency had an opening for a temp to perm Office Assistant position at a company in Waterville , Ohio. And even though i would have liked to have gotten hired on at O wens full time perminant after being here for 8 months, they " couldn't find the funds" to do so. (in order to protect names, D. is the name of the temp lady i have been working with recently) So i had the first interview scheduled for October 13 th . I emailed D. at the the temp agency to see if i could get some additional information about the company i would be interviewing with, to give me whatever edge i had been missing out on with the previous 15 interviews!!!! When i got the email back the morning of the interview, D. said that they had filled the position and so my interview for that afternoon had been canclled ..... i was kinda dissapointed (as my status message on facebook said.... WHEN IS I...

i feel so stupid now! i had sent out a bunch of email resumes and cover letters and just realized that the cover letter says the following....I am writing in response to your Receptionist position posted on monster.com. for all of them.... and none of the ones that i sent out yesterday were from monster.com, and not all of them were for receptionist positions!AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH note: (10/6/08) When i was sending out these email resumes and cover letters, i had one that i started with and i would just hit forward, take out the FW:, change the email address, change the specifics in the email (position, where it was posted, ect.) and send it out. the attachments of my resume and cover letter were already attached! it was great.... till i realized that i was forwarding the exact same cover letter to all these people and that the cover letter had been personalized to a job i applied for weeks ago!

so seeing as my hours were cut 25% a few weeks ago, i am looking for some odd jobs to do to A) fill my time and B) fill my pocket. I'll be honest, i am looking for jobs that will pay me. running errands, making cards, raking leaves, other odds and ends, let me know if you think of anything!
