Another day, another job interview. And another offer to do a trial at the job in the next week.
I’m still being very cautious about job offers. I’m still spending 2 hours every day applying for jobs. I have no clue if I’m going to like either of the jobs I’m trying out (or if they will like me).
But again, I’m feeling very optimistic because I am getting good responses to my resume and to me when I interview. This is a much better job search than the past few that I’ve gone through.
I don’t know if I’m getting a better response because I’m being pickier on what I’m applying for or if my skills doing sales (which I only got after my last job) are making me a more desirable employee. But either way, I ok with it.
I have another interview today for another part time job (it’s for an on-call assistant type of job) and I’m hoping that I’ll either get an offer for employment or another trial out of my interview. That way, I’ll have plenty of options and combinations of jobs (since I’ll have to have 2 jobs with any of these part time positions).
I’m also getting ready to get back into substitute teaching. I haven’t been available in forever, but now I have lots of availability again. And I while I need to renew my credential, I’m still current for another month and a half. So all I have to do is make myself available again on the online scheduling service and hopefully I’ll start getting sub offers.
I’m a little nervous going back to subbing. I haven’t done it in a long time so I know I’m out of practice. And I have had some very tough classes in the past (one high school class tried to throw a chair at me and security had to stay inside for the rest of the class period), but I have also had some great classes. Either way, it will be good for me to get back into it. I have fun and it’s decent money for a day’s work. Plus, it’s completely flexible and my agents understand how my schedule is when I’m working.
I’m so glad that I’m having a much more positive week this week. It’s making my unemployment a bit more like funemployment.
