So where do I want to live? And every other question.
I have to admit, I didn’t get quite as much job searching done over Thanksgiving break as I had hoped to do…but I’m not that surprised about it either. I guess I always tell myself that I have tons of time over break to do everything I’ve been putting off, but then as soon as I get home and am surrounded by family, friends, and well, just being home, and I don’t really want to do anything else.
However, I did look enough to make myself calm down a little about job searching. It seems like the next wave of deadlines is the end of December/end of January. (I don’t know why, but there are always a ton of deadlines, and then none nearby…its just how it is). And even though this is coming up and I definitely need to be getting my act together, the deadlines aren’t…I don’t know, tomorrow. It gives me a few days to kind of recollect and get organzied on what I’m going ot apply for and what I need to do.
I’ve been using this time to look though Job Finder and other search engines to find companies and job postings that I’m interesting and I’m saving/favoriting them to go back to later. It’s definitely making me feel a lot better about everything.
It is pretty interesting though trying to decide what to apply for. There are so many questions. Is this a topic that I’m interested in? Am I qualified for it? Does the job sound interesting in general or monotonous? Does this sound like a company I’m going to want to work for long term or is it just “my first job”? Where is it? Could I see myself living there? Do I know anyone else who’s going to live there?
Apparently I have a lot to think about. Or, I could just apply for everything and then face all of these questions once I know what my options really are…
