Movies and Job Hunting
My friend, Shea, and I went to see Bucket List this past Saturday and finally broke our bad movie streak. We have not had very good luck with movies lately. I must recommend that you see this movie. It is phenomenal and will get you thinking about your life. I do not want to say much about it because I do not want to give up anything. I will tell you that Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman make a great team. As always, Jack Nicholson was full of those wonderful facial expressions. This film was a deeply emotional experience for me.
Those emotions carried over to Monday when I sat down at the computer to start my job hunt. Job hunting has definitely changed in the last 10 years. I really have not had to look very hard for a job ever. I have basically walked into most of the jobs I've held. In the early 80's the IRS hired pretty much anyone who could type and didn't have a criminal record. After a five year stint at home I did some tax preparation and then my divorce lawyer begged me to come work for him while I went to school. What could I say?
One of my classes was an internship class and I took an internship at the company I just left. After the internship was over they asked me to stay on. Again, what could I say?
So now I have to go find places that I am interested in as well as would be interested in me. This is not fun but I'm not going to give up.
