I applied to two jobs this week. Yay, me!
Now if I get called into interview for these jobs, even better.
To be honest, since I started being an intern I've put the whole job hunt thing on hold. I mean when I got the production gig with Lenny I saw no point in working part time at the bookstore, interning two (which turned into one) days with Lenny AND applying to a full time position.
And then I went home for six weeks this summer ( in between applying to a job as an editorial assistant that I did not get, but did get an internship for). And then I came back to New York, started working 5 days at the bookstore, along with two days at the publishing company. Yeah, no time to be on the market for a job, when squeezing in sleep was even a chore.
But I have not been an intern since Mid November, and after Thanksgiving break, I just sort of put a halt on everything. Not to say I have been lazying around here. I did move into a new place, and get another internships (which I quit) and there.was.christmas.and.stuff but on the job end I've failed on sending my resume out and pleading my 'I'm awesome, hire me"case
The two jobs are both entry level, and in the city. At this point, I don't even care what it is. As long as it's sort of in my field and pays more than minimum wage. I'm not picky. I have put myself on the market and I hope that someone will choose me. I really, really want to be chosen for something.
Not only am I on the market for a new job (repeat: someone hire me please. purty please). I am also on the market for a new hairdresser, because my current one keeps chopping my hair off. For the hell of it I think. For some reason, I don't think he understands the "I want to keep it long" concept. Because I come out with extremely short hair, every time.
A friend from work has recommended me to her hair dresser. And though it is in the city (seriously, like 2 hours away) I am tempted. There is a place closer to me that I want to check out, but I would have to take a bus and I'm not really good with buses. The things we will do to look pretty.
I'm also looking into some media studies programs. So it isn't a masters degree you can depend on (but hey, i was shooting for an MFA once) but I really want to get into film production, and am finding it extremely hard to do. Hell, I don't know how I would pay for grad school (loans?), but I'm narrowing my schools down and if I can find someone to recommend me who knows what could happen.
So yes. New Job. New Hair. New School. Because this current job, rough hair, and no school is killing me.
