When I was looking at the paper I couldn't afford, I saw a lot of different things among the ads. There were job openings for strange things, like one at a lumber mill that requires you to speak german.
I remember thinking, "If only I could speak german. And lived anywhere near that place."
Then I went around town handing out my resumes again and walked down to the unemployment office and asked if there were any jobs they could help me get. There was one out at Jellystone Park. I was like "great, but how am I getting there?" The deadline to apply was that very day though. They also wanted a cover letter as well.
Then I hear about a program called "The SEED" program. aka: Student Employment Experience Development Program. Apparently there are some places around here that only take students that are submitted to them through this program.
Isn't that great. For some places I don't have enough experience and for others I have too much.
It seems the only way I'll ever get a job is if I die first. That should be enough experience for them.

Saw a notice today - part time job at Canadian Tire.
ReplyDeleteYou should go...and if you already dropped off a resume, CALL THEM.
Jellystone park has a lot of local people working for it....and you'd probably be able to hitch a ride once you got on.
That's what my dad said but I can't because the deadline for applications has already passed.
ReplyDeleteI would if I could but I can't and I have called people. It's just that I either don't have the work experience they want or there's something wrong with my resume. I just don't know.
