As you can tell from my title, I'm job hunting. And it is not the most fun thing in the world. For some reason, even though I want a new job and I'm moving and have to get a new job, I have no motivation. Maybe it's the interviews I know are coming or the fact that I have to update my resume and write cover letters. I'm not sure.
For the most part, since I have graduated from college, I have had an easy time finding jobs. My first hotel job after college came easily because I knew the hotel owner and they needed someone. And then after that I had a great time interning with Campus Crusade in Portland. That job was fairly easy to get, considering after I was accepted I only had to raise my support. Which was hard at times for sure, but I knew God would get me there. And then after that, it seemed as though God provided me a job here in Pullman, once again, at a hotel.
But for some reason, this time it feels different. This time it feels like I have a lot more responsibility and work to put into the job hunting process. Perhaps because the place I am moving has fairly limited opportunities and now, it's my husband who has the job prearranged ad not me. There is also a lot more at stake too because I am ready for a big job, a career job, a job where I am paid and respected for the time and money I put into earning my college degree. A job where I can use the skills and gifts and talents I have been given for a good purpose. And that's kind of hard to find.
So here I sit, supposedly working on my cover letter, but instead blogging. Ah, procrastination. My favorite pastime.
